I just started the internal testing on Korax Arena version 0.6 (yes, this is the 4th release since the last public beta test) and the new game mode called Castle Sweep, it’s a bit like a classic cooperative game in Heretic or Hexen, in that you have a big map chock full of monsters and you have to kill them all, but you don’t have to do it alone, because it supports the full number of players other game modes (like deathmatch) do, i.e. you can play it with a couple of friends over LAN or spawn a bunch of bots to help you out. It’s quite a fun thing, wading into the horde of gargoyles, centaurs and chaos serpents with a machine gun, with a sword-swinging fighter on your left and a crossbow-shooting elf on your right. 😉
