CO-OP: Decrypted Demo

CO-OP: Decrypted is a game that combines features from multiple genres to deliver one great game. It’s part platformer, sidescroller, puzzle, co-op, pieces that once put together offer you a memorable game that uses interesting mechanics to create a pleasant experience.

Initially there is no backstory to the game so you’ll just have to explore until things start to make sense, which should be 4 or 5 rooms ahead when some security droids blast you to pieces. That’s when you figure out that you need to get out of whatever facility you are in because your future doesn’t look all that good.

Your main characters, R3D and BLU3, are linked to each other as you soon get to find out. R3D has the power to absorb the energy which flows around him whether it’s from light bulbs, energy generators or control consoles and can transmit it to BLU3 who channel and releases it to break walls or move objects out of his path.

As you make your way through the increasingly difficult rooms, you get to see how good they are as a team but unfortunately, it seems that even after all the effort they put in to get out, they don’t seem to ever meet face to face.

CO-OP: Decrypted’s core mechanic is the ability to switch between the two robots any time you want. The game can be viewed in split-screen so you can better assess a situation, controls are very simple, intuitive, but that doesn't mean that the game is a piece of cake.

You get some hints throughout the game but in a lot of cases you need to take a good look around to figure out what to do and that makes CO-OP: Decrypted truly enjoyable if you like puzzles.

Apart from the well thought out gameplay, this sidescroller also features some pretty good graphics and effects which do wonders with the fluid animations.

On a closing note, CO-OP: Decrypted is very well polished, it has captivating gameplay and definitely challenges you. It’s the exact kind of game you play whenever you want to make a good day into a great one.
