(the app is forcing me to put a link so I put Timesplitters 2 gameplay cuz this is mostly a text post)

Hi everyone! I've been feeling frustration about games lately, remembering experiences I had as a kid playing co-op story games with my friends, like Timesplitters and Destroy All Humans, etc.

Modern multiplayer games sometimes have some co-op elements, but many of them are party games like Human Fall Flat or Among Us, or big Battle Royales or Multiplayer shooters. The co-op ones seem to only be survival games like The Forest.

I'm always looking for good co-op experiences to play with my friends, but it's hard to find what I am looking for. I recently played It Takes Two with my partner and that was so wonderful.

Does anyone know any games like what I am looking for? It seems these kinds of games are so few and far between, sadly.

Defeat boss in top-down hack-n-slash style combat with lots of abilities.
Farm materials needed for the unlocks of the boss.
Use unlocks to upgrade base/castle.
Use upgraded base/castle to upgrade gear.
Find bigger/better boss to defeat, and go to step 1.

After every 3 or 4 bosses they introduce a new gameplay mechanic. More abilities, more dangers, potions, etc.
Hence, you are always unlocking something that feels like progress.

The castle building is also done nicely. You grow if from a couple of wooden palisades and a wooden coffin, to a multi layered castle with different rooms (for crafting bonuses), farming areas, a dungeon, servants that you can send on raids, and a lot of decoration options.
