Spy Bros. (Pipi & Bibiās DX)
Infiltrate a building with wacky gangsters, plant a few bombs and escape before it blows up.
Available for Windows, Nintendo Switch
Craft ammunition, man a cannon and defend your castle from invading foes.
For many years, the King of Noobland kept his people safe thanks to three powerful belongingsāa medallion, a crown and a teddy bear. Unfortunately, one day, the king lost all three items resulting in a collosal defeat (all of his heroes fell in battle). Now, there are āNo Heroes Hereā, so itās up to a small team of regular people to protect the kingdom.
In āNo Heroes Hereā you need to defend castles one by one, across three regions and over more than 50 levels. However, thatās not an easy feat, because not only do you need to hold off against ever growing waves of attackers but you also need to manage resources and equipment. You need to constantly grab raw materials, craft gunpowder and shells, load up a cannon and shoot the nearest enemy. Itās not just about being fast, though, as there are some strategic elements like special ammunition, different enemy types and gun positioning.
āNo Heroes Hereā is all about communication and time management, so naturally it can become quite hectic. Although it can technically be played in solo mode, we recommend 3ā4 players as itās much more fun (and feasible) to defend your castle with a team. If you enjoy similar titles such as āLovers in a Dangerous Spacetimeā or āRegular Human Basketballā, you should give this one a try.

Most couch co-op games require one gamepad per player (DualShock 4, DualSense, Nintendo Switch Pro Controller etc.), but sometimes you can share gamepads (PS5, XBOX Series X/S), use a single Joy Con (Switch) or let at least one person utilize a keyboard (PC).

We love couch co-op games. Nothing beats the joy of sitting in the same room, playing some fun games and experiencing the reactions of your friends first handāespecially during a pandemic, when youāre more often at home with your partner, family members or roommates. Sure, online multiplayer modes can be fun, too, but couch co-op has always been the best type of multiplayer games for us.
If you are like us, you play local multiplayer games on a regular basis, either with your kids or your friends. Every platform has some couch co-op classics, like āMario Kart 8 Deluxeā and āSuper Mario Partyā on Nintendo Switch or āSackboy: A Big Adventureā on PS5. While these couch co-op games can be played over and over again, you may want to try something new from time to time. So, where do you find interesting, new titles? Sometimes you get great recommendations from friends, but most of the time you need to do your own research.
Most game stores like Steam, PlayStation/Microsoft Store or Nintendo eShop offer categories for local multiplayer games. However, they either feature just a handful of new games or list thousands of entries. Websites for couch co-op games do exist, but they try to list them all, even the not-so-good ones. Gaming related blogs and magazines write about couch co-op games from time to time, but itās not their main subject. You probably donāt want to search on the internet for hours and hunt for hidden gems. You want to find great, new games without the hassle. Thatās why weāve came up with the idea for Couch Co-Op Favorites.
We create lists with handpicked couch co-op gamesāfilterable by platform, player number and relevant features. On this website you can quickly find new games which have been tested by people like you. Save time on researching, spend more time with friends and family.
We are a group of friends from Northern Germany. We have a deep passion for couch co-op games and did a lot of research on the subject in our student days. We donāt know all titles, but we certainly know a lot of excellent games for different platforms and audiences. We regularly play games, but we still identify as casual gamers. We believe that not every gaming related site needs to look like it has been made for stereotypical gamers. Thatās why weāve decided to make this site look friendly and approachable.
Our mission is simple: We want to bring joy to people looking for good couch co-op games and we want to support indie developers, too.
All games listed here are handpicked by us. Weāre not paid by developers to feature their games. Developers may send us their games for free, but this doesnāt influence our opinon about these games. If we list a game, we genuinely like it. Itās that simple. No ads, no affiliate links, just good games.
If youāre working on a couch co-op game, feel free to send us a short email with a link to your press kit and a few codes. To be able to test a game properly, we use multiple platforms (PC and at least one console, if possible). Currently, we prefer to test on Steam (Windows/Ubuntu) and on Nintendo Switch (EU/Germany). Please understand that we cannot publish a review for every game. As our time is limited, we are unable to test any betas or games in āEarly Accessā. Additionally, we priotize games which are available on multiple platforms (not Steam only).
If youāre not sure wether your game is āgood enoughā or if you haven't been feeling very confident lately, please consider reaching out anyway. We are regular people, just like you, and we try to answer every email!
Regardless of whether youāre an (indie) game developer or a fan of couch co-op games, weād be happy to hear from you. Feel free to send us an email or start a conversation on Twitter! š š®
