People search for this a lot, usually with a specific scenario in mind: two people, one phone, a waiting room or a sofa. Here is how Soul Knight handles that, and what to play instead when it does not.
How Soul Knight is designed to be played
Soul Knight is a co-op adventure built around two people with their own devices. Soul Knight is a fast pixel-art roguelike shooter with tight controls and a huge arsenal of weapons. Its online and local co-op make it a great couple game โ dungeon-crawl together, share loot and blast through enemies as a duo. The design assumes each of you has your own screen and your own view of what is going on.
That is not a limitation so much as the point โ in this kind of game, more fun with a partner than it ever is alone, and a shared screen would give both of you the same information.
What to do if you only have one phone between you
- Play it in turns rather than at once, handing the phone over at natural breaks.
- Or pick something built for one device from the start. 2 Player Games: The Challenge is the obvious one โ it is a whole collection designed around two people sharing a single screen.
- If you are in the same room with two phones, just use both. Same-room play with separate screens is a different, better experience.
We keep a full list of these on our games for two people on one phone guide.
Playing Soul Knight properly, on two devices
- Install it on both phones.
- Create or join the same co-op room.
- Team up and take on the levels together.
- Sit next to each other if you can โ with this kind of game, being in the same room and talking out loud is half of it.
Soul Knight is on both the App Store and Google Play, so it does not matter which of you is on iPhone and which is on Android.
