It's not obligate-multiplayer, but seeing as it's a Dungeons and Dragons implementation with lots of best-in-class multiplayer features it seems libelous to call it "single player".

I love how the party can split up and go do completely different things. That's often difficult to do even in a traditional tabletop setting.

They do that very well in Divinity : Original Sin (by the same devs).

This class of couch co-op game is becoming rare but I buy them each time they come out. I hope there's enough of us to provide a market.

OG Wasteland had that feature, along with a pretty decent macro system. Worth a look.

I haven't played the co-op mode of Cassette Beasts yet, but I've been playing single player and have loved every second.

E: Spelling, gotta love mobile.

Actually wound up playing the co-op mode today, it's quite fun once you're past the tutorial.
