The game is a bunch of fun, but I'd kill for online. It was tough as hell to get a LP going with friends.

For those that care I did two let's plays which can be found here:

This game looks like amazing fun. I wish this resurgence in local MP happened 10 years ago, these days I'd never be able to get people together for this.

Gotta be honest here, this 'play as the enemy/enemies' stuff is just never fun for me. I always wanna be the dude

Seeing this on Unprofessional Friday really piqued my interest. Depending on price i'll definitely end up getting this.

Is it online? If not, there's probably no chance I'd get enough people.

It looked like Jeff was right, hopefully there is more for non-heroes to do when they are ghosts or it will kill momentum when the human player turtles/plays super defensively.

Nice @ August 6th date.

Wonder if there's any reason to get into it if you're not gonna be able to play local MP though.

It is awesome. There are bots now, so you can play with 3 bots instead of other players, if you're a loaner.

Wish it was more than 4 players - seems like an arbitrary limit for PC titles.

The Early Access launch trailer for this is fantastic. Phenomenal, tbh. I really wish I could play it but alas no PC and my old MBP ain't gonna cut it

More ultra-generic pixel art but damn does the game look beautiful in motion. Makes all the difference.

Can you show me examples of pixel art that's not ultra-generic?

Yes, it is.
It's a shame it's a multiplayer only game and local multiplayer only at that...

Remember watching a 'Thank you for playing' on GT where they played this, I immediately wanted to buy it.

I don't know why I keep doing this, I don't have friends over to my place, we all play online. Though if I did I sure as hell have a shit-ton of PC games we could all play!

Saw a friend streaming it earlier and it really looks like a ton of fun. Only local multiplayer turns me off from buying it though, since I never do local play on PC. Now, if a PS4 version comes out I'd be on that so fast. Hope it happens eventually.

Played a couple times at a friend's house tonight. I like the concept but the game feels extremely bare bones at the moment. It's also annoying when you almost kill the player as a monster and someone swoops in and takes the kill from you.
