The Swords of Ditto....


The Swords of Ditto released today(24th), I'd been looking at it as an option to do co-op with my wife. It's a game that in reality is even more cute visually as well as it's sound effects and music. All combine in an overload of atmosphere!

Co-op is "local" co-op so that means you either share a keyboard or use controllers (xbox/ps). I've not shared a keyboard with a second player since the early 90's! Today for me and my other half that worked out with me on an xbox controller and my wife with the keyboard and mouse.

Getting the game into a co-op mode on a keyboard is done with one key - backspace. It took a more than a while to figure that out... Co-op isn't a menu option.

Getting into the game, rebinding the keys is a must. Both player keys are set across the keyboard. If you are to use just the keyboard, it will lead to a lot of friction... That can be fun/funny but when the action gets heated and a slipped finger hits a key that sends the other player rolling off the map one time too many...

Or avoid all that and have both players use controllers....

It's a fun game, the actions of the characters as well as the interactions as players in a shared space both in and out of game makes for great fun moments. I can see us playing this game on and off for a while...
