What players say

Great game but co-op is...kind of a slog. You're quite literally playing a singleplayer game, but taking turns with who controls the game. Whoever's turn it is controls the whole game, and the other players can do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING during this time. This leads to a lot of downtime and admittedly people in my group were falling asleep waiting for their turn... Other than that, the game is fun and quirky.

I personally really like Baladins! Singleplayer - only if you manage to have multiple controllers to play multiple characters to get more done during your weeks / time loops. Multiplayer - I've been playing with a friend and we've managed about halfway through the game (I think) and I am disappointed at the lack of wiki / guides available to assist when something just doesn't seem possible and you just need a little...

Very cute game and the art-style is simple yet so colorful and amazing. Everything is perfect, except you can not play your game on your own with multiple characters but you need friends to do so, so this is a bit of a handicap if you intend to do multiple quests on a single time loop. This is the only thing that holds the fun back for me.
