IGN Plus: Snag a Key for Stylish Online Multiplayer RPG, Wayfinder
20.09.2023 - 20:07 / ign.com

Wayfinder is a class-based online multiplayer RPG by Airship Syndicate, the studio behind Ruined King: A League Of Legends Story, Darksiders: Genesis, and Battle Chasers Nightwar. The studio was founded by several former devs from Vigil Games (the studio behind Darksiders and Darksiders 2), and the studio's art style is instantly recognizable as coming from the pen of iconic artist (and co-founder) Joe Madureira.
One year after a tragedy fragmented the world, the player is finally pulled from the Gloom, a dark reflection of the world which can be manipulated and molded by those who know how. It's up to these Wayfinders, and the small city of survivors surrounding the portal, to find a way to piece it all together again.
Whether you want to play a tanky character, a twin dagger-wielding assassin, a clever gunner with traps and bombs, a melee sorcerer who channels the darkness, a giant (and incredibly powerful) berserker woman, or others, Wayfinder has a character for you. Unfortunately, unless you want to play the gunner, tank, or assassin, you'll have to earn or buy the others (it's particularly painful for me, because I played and fell in love with the arcanist Kyros at PAX East, and I have no idea how long it will take for me to get him back).
We’ve always loved multiplayer experiences and even for those of us working on the original Darksiders back at Vigil, the dream was to always make a multiplayer game with all 4 horsemen. Darksiders: Genesis was Airship’s first step into the multiplayer space and we learned a lot from working on it. As our team grew over the years, we’ve felt more and more comfortable with tackling a larger multiplayer game. It is definitely not a full blown MMO, but we are doing what we can to capture the fun of being in a persistent world with friends and expanding on that world over time.
This game is a love letter to the games that we’ve played over the years that are social, have a persistent world and are ever evolving. Wayfinder is social so you can jump in with friends and play all night, or if you’re feeling anti-social, you can just log in and decorate your apartment. At Airship Syndicate, we knew that our storytelling strengths are in creating rich and engaging worlds, full of memorable characters that you meet and play so we really played to our strengths making the character- based world of Wayfinder come to life.

The Binding of Isaac is getting online multiplayer “soon”
12 years later, The Binding of Isaac remains my go-to roguelite. There have been some incredible Rogue-inspired games since, but nothing has quite stuck its disgusting, fly and poop-covered hooks in me like Edmund McMillen’s tale of a crying child fighting his murderous mother using the power of his tears. Yes, I’m in therapy, why do you ask?

The Binding of Isaac gets online multiplayer at long last
The Binding of Isaac is probably one of the most influential games in the roguelike space. While it wasn’t the first to adopt the stylings and progression systems of iconic 1980 dungeon crawler Rogue, it certainly did a lot to popularize the format, helping spawn a surge in randomized run-based games. Now the addition of online multiplayer means you’ll finally be able to play The Binding of Isaac Repentance co-op with your friends over the internet.
