AEGIS DEFENDERS
Best Multiplayer and Co-Op Games of February 2018
Aegis Defenders has you play as a team of Ruinhunters in a ruthless Empire who are searching for a legendary weapon called the Aegis. Featuring whimsical 2D-pixel art and well-crafted platforming puzzles, Aegis Defenders really shines in its tower defense levels where you and your team work together to protect a base from oncoming waves of enemies.
In single-player, you can simply swap between the different characters that each have their own abilities and roles on the team, but you can also play local co-op as well so you and a friend can swap between the team members at a more rapid pace on a shared/split screen.
In Sept. 2014, the project was fully funded on Kickstarter with over $145,000 USD raised by over 4000 different backers after a little over a month. It released on PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch on Feb. 8.
