Full Metal Furies
Game
7.8/10on IGDB
Released
Take different members of the team into the fight. Some enemies have a shield that only one of you can break, so the other person can make room for a teammate to do their job. Choose couch or online co-op when you want the differences between characters to matter in combat rather than in platforming.
