The Best Co-Op Story Games With Great Tales To Tell

"Famous as a series of uncompromising multiplayer JRPG greatness, our one pic from the whole franchise has to be Tales of Vesperia. The game blends classic JRPG storytelling with fast-paced, real-time combat that works surprisingly well in co-op. The story follows Yuri Lowell, a former knight who takes justice into his own hands in a world powered by magical technology."

"What starts as a simple mission quickly escalates into a huge conflict involving political corruption, ancient powers, and clashing ideals. Co-op can be a bit funny, as one main player deals with everything outside of combat, but once you get into battle, every player has a chance to shine independently. Up to four players can control different characters in battles, chaining special attacks together in satisfying combos."
