Alien Breed: Tower Assault had a simple explanation for where Player 2 went if you started a 1P game, your partner is killed in the shuttle crash that starts the game.

    “Nash is dead, you’re on your own”. Alien Breed was always very hard, and Tower Assault is eye-watering.

    That’s cool any way to play it on pc or switch?

    Great game, probably my favourite Alien Breed due it’s nonlinear level design. I wish Team 17 would consider doing a new Alien Breed in the original pixel art style, top down view (kinda like Sonic Mania).

    This reminded me of Baldur’s Gate 3’s in-universe explanation for when a co-op partner is offline but they’re character is still in your party.

    Forgot the exact wording, but it’s basically “the lights are on, but nobody’s home”

    I always wonder why more games, especially indie, don’t adopt this bird eyes view? I know its not the most visually striking, but it still has a level of immersion. The only games I can think off the top of my head are Hotline Miami, Space Crusade (PC 1992), Police Stories, GTA2, and Darkwood.

    To be clear, I mean completely top down, not the 3/4 top down like Stardew Valley.

    That’s actually brilliant game design. Simple, logical, and instantly explains why you’re suddenly alone. Way better than some convoluted plot device.
