I was looking for something to play after bg3. I'll try it next.
Do you know if it has couch coop? Not strictly necessary, but I originally picked up bg3 to play with my wife.
If not, it's turn based battles right? So we could hotseat?
Sadly, it isn't co-op multiplayer.
The battles are real-time-ish, but can be paused at any time to give more elaborate commands.
Just so you know, you can switch from real-time-with-pause combat to turn based at any time. Slows battles down, but allows for proper micromanagement of actions.
Aww bummer. If anyone reads this and knows another turn based rpg we can hotseat, which might scratch the same itch, let me know.
I wish I could say otherwise; Wrath is a very good game but I'd be lying if I said it had co-op.
If you haven't already played Larians other game, Divinity: Original Sin, that's worth looking at.
For The King is more digital board game than RPG I guess, but it's still a couch co-op turn-based RPG that's pretty fun
There's a turn-based mode that can be switched on at any moment. It doesn't always work perfectly, but I found it more tolerable than that of BG3, not least because it has a fast-forward button for the enemies.
Oh, if it can be turnbased, we can just do that.
A fast forward button would make the combat in BG3 so much more tolerable
