Mystic Strife

I have a group of old gamer friends, and we get together to play local multiplayer games around once or twice a month. We ALWAYS play at least a couple of rounds of Mystic Strife. It's a staple in our game list. Its mechanical simplicity makes it easy to understand, and the single-life-point mechanic keeps you on your toes at all times. I particularly love the fact that to win the match, you have to be ALIVE at the end of the round, or you won't win no matter how many points you have. Cheap, simple, and fun—perfect for a local multiplayer game night. PS: Wizard is OP (?

How do I fund mystic strife 2 with steam workshop and P2P multiplayer support?! Take my money now!

Really good PvP game to play with friends. Similar dynamic to Towerfall. The June patch was a welcome addition (specially for necro class). Only thing missing that would make the game even better is team mode. EDIT: It has team mode now! And it even has friendly fire as an option. Thanks jSpeak for listening and taking the time!!

Mystic Strife is an incredibly fun fighter akin to Towerfall/SSB. There is beauty in its simplicity. Barebones and skill based combat feels super rewarding. Deaths feel deserved and success feels good. Feels great and fluid with an 8bitdo Ultimate controller. I've only played with friends via steam, but cannot wait to get a game night going on the couch with some friends in the near future.

Goated game. Small cast of characters but for the cheap price it's 100% worth it and it goes on sale for even less! Also some the characters' abilities are really creative, I didn't expect this from a cheap indie game :D

Excellent little multiplayer game for Steam remote play. Similar vibes to something like Towerfall, but I really appreciate the different character classes. Being able to rotate characters with a group a friends over the course of a play session keeps the game fresh and enjoyable for hours.
