Looking for a mac 2 player online game.

[BeyondWorld]

Looking for a game I can play online with my friend.

Recently played Roche Fusion and thought it an amazing 2 player game, but later found out it doesn't support online 2 player. Which is no good for me.

It's a space shooter, and I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for an online 2 player game?

Something that runs on mac and pc. Installing a wine version is a bit of a hassle.

Preferably a space shooter. But if it's something really fun, I'm happy to look into it.

Also, I'd like to avoid first person shooters and flash or java games on websites if possible.

Blizzard games are on both mac and windows.
That's WoW, Hearthstone, Diablo 3, and Starcraft 2.
Does that help?

Many thanks for the suggestion!

Mmorpgs aren't what I'm looking for really.

Not too sure what Starcraft 2 is, but it looks like a strategy mmorpg? And a bit too complex.

Looking for something very simple.

This is the game I was playing that I was hoping was 2 player online, but wasn't:-



It's very simple, but runs quite smoothly. So really looking for something you just instantly know how to play.

Starcraft 2 is the number one competitive strategy game in the world. Its not an mmo, it just has a ladder ranking system. Still, if you're looking for simple, that probably won't be your cup of tea. You can try it free though if I'm not mistaken.

Hearthstone. Pretty simple to get into, difficult as you go further.

Diablo 3, pretty simple and fun.

[BeyondWorld]

Yeah, I understand they are very popular games, as I've heard of the names of all of them, just not quite what I'm looking for.

Just need something simple that you go straight away without needing to learn what to do, my friend won't have the patience for anything else, unless she instantly knows how to play it.

Good luck then. Most mac games I know of are either shooters or require a good bit to get into.

Risk of Rain might be something you'd like, although it's kind of like a website flash game. You should look it up.

It's basically a 2D side scrolling shooting survival game where you have to find a teleporter on a planet and survive while it boots up so you can escape and kill everything that gets in your way.

Pretty fun, since I've got a few hours playing through single player.

[BeyondWorld]

Thanks, it does look quite fun.

Oh lawdy, I know that feeling, I was stuck on a mac for years and the lack of game ports killed me inside.

First off, there are a few decent FPSs I feel obligated to list if you change your mind. Team Fortress 2 is fantastic for co-op, same with some of the Calladooties and Borderlands games if those are your cup of tea.

Risk of Rain is a phenomenal game that I've spent 60+ hours on with co op alone.

Guns of Icarus is a game I whore out at every possible opportunity which revolves almost entirely around cooperating with your crew. In it, four players control a flying ship in a steam-punk arena-type game. It is incredible fun with a really enjoyable community that can make your game. One time me and my friends were taking a beating, when out of nowhere a crazy Scottish guy took over the ship and he was the best god damn captain I've ever sailed with. It goes on sale for ~$5.00 constantly, I cannot recommend it enough.

Hearthstone is a ton of fun to mess around with a friend in.

Day of Defeat is another fun FPS that revolves a lot co operating with a small squad of teamates in a WWII-arena. Or you can just shoot your buddy with a grenade launcher "by accident" and have a blast goofing off and teamkilling your friends.

If you're looking for an MMO, Guild Wars 2 is pretty fun with some neat features and isn't bleed-out-the-bum expensive.

Starbound is Terraria in space with a far cooler aesthetic. I love it.

Portal 2 is phenomenal and one of the greatest Co-Op games I've played in a long time.

Castle Crashers is one of the finest Beat-em-up games ever crafted.+

SERIOUSLY DUDE TRY GUNS OF ICARUS IT'S AMAZING.

I'll post more if I think of them.
