Do not buy for Multiplayer. The Multi player setup really sucks. We played for an hour last night trying to get to the point to be able to play together.......No bueno, almost there. Then looked up Gameplay trailers for multiplayer....you aren't even working WITH your buddy, you are on the Opposite side of the map. Yes, you both have to kill the monster in the middle, but by the time you get to him, you've already unlocked and geared and dont need your buddy. Fun game, Bad multiplayer attempt.

Edit - 30 hours later:

We've played all 4 maps. I can send resources to my friend and open up expensive portals to help him out, but that's the extent of it. By the time we get to each other we do in fact have enough gear to complete the level. I still do not recommend this game for multiplayer but for single it's pretty fun. If there was a Thumbs sideways option, this game would get it.

I agree 100% with you. This is a really fun game but really sucks for multiplayer...

True. Hope this review stays up. I bet a lot of players are aiming for this game for multiplayer and expect something different than what is provided.

I still dont feel like this is truly co op multiplayer but competative multiplayer. I want true co op, build together, work together, limted dwarves. just imo.

Hm maybe it was just added for the ice cave. Not sure how that would work for the forest map. The patch note only state the trade thingy too. My memory seems foggy. Will check again soonish. Sorry for inaccurate information.
Im at least 100% sure for the trade thing.
Mp still felt mostly like a short sidemission farming. And rushing. Was added after release. Not really the focus of the game but grants spectial items and lots of coins and ore.

When did this update happen? i played one week ago.

One reason why gameplay videos can be hurtful:
They changed that quite some time ago. In coop mp you start on the same side of the map now and can give ressources.
Not saying mp is great though.

It does, but I have to say, It's still fun and I'm still playing it. I havent tried the PVP but ive done the Co-OP thing 4 times. its a nice 3 hour game but it feels like i'm playing by myself on the left side, firend on right, but we can trade resources and send dwarves to defend each other if need be, but the nights have little to no zombies and it's very easy. I do anticipate more modes, but only the future can tell if I will change this to a...You must buy this game. RIght now it's a....fun game if you need a time sink.

Out of Reach is on sale, Grey Goo is on Humble Bundle, so is Life is Feudal. we also recently bought Supreme commander 2, planetary annihilation and Ashes of singularity, they are all good for short multiplayer games, out of reach and life is feudal, if you can find a agroup to play with, its more of a long term endeavor.
