Patch Quest is a cute but tough twin-stick roguelike where you lasso monsters and ride them through a shuffling jungle maze. In local co-op, you and a friend explore, dodge bullet-hell barrages, and argue over which googly-eyed beast to mount next.

Lasso anything and ride it
Your lasso is your whole survival kit. You snag any of the 50-plus monster species, then mount it to steal its skills for combat and travel. One beast leaps across hazards, another swims, glides, tunnels, or webslings, and every one hits hard in its own way. With a co-op friend beside you, one of you can grab a flyer while the other takes something that punches through bullet-hell crowds, then swap when a better monster waddles past.
A maze that reshuffles overnight
Patchlantis is a patchwork labyrinth that gets shuffled by a storm each night, so every run sends you into fresh arrangements of ruins, rugged terrain, and booby traps. You push deeper, unlock gates and shortcuts, gather ammo fruits to blend into smoothies, and collect plants and minerals. Death sends you back to base camp, but your collection stays, and the gadgets you earn permanently widen what you can reach next time.
Cute looks, strict combat
Everything has googly eyes and bright colors, which makes it funnier when the monsters fight like vicious predators. Expect fast twin-stick shooting, arena rooms full of bullets, and difficulty that ramps until it forces you back to camp. Playing with a second explorer in local co-op splits the chaos and halves the suffering, since one of you can clear the room while the other chases the favorite mount around it.
Good to know before you team up?
Can you play it solo?
Yes. The loop of exploring, taming monsters, unlocking shortcuts, and returning to base camp works alone, with the same maze, gadgets, and 50-plus rideable species. Bringing a co-op friend mainly makes the hard fights more manageable and the monster debates louder.
How hard is it with two players?
Still demanding. The maze shuffles, enemies scale up as you push deeper, and bullet patterns stay dense. Two lassos help you cover rooms and revive momentum after mistakes, but you will still need to learn mounts, ammo types, and when to retreat to camp.
