Hollowpoint vs The Expendabros

Hollowpoint puts players in charge of secretive Organizations of corporate mercenaries, taking on missions for pay and prestige alongside three other players in online co‑op. Developed by Ruffian Games, the team behind Crackdown 2, it blends classic 2D side‑scrolling combat with modern 3D targeting. The game offers seamless online multiplayer for up to four players, allowing coordinated strikes, strategic load‑out choices, and dynamic mission environments that react to your tactics. Its stylized visuals and tight controls deliver a fresh take on the side‑scroll shooter genre.

Rescue your brothers in arms and battle the ruthless arms dealer Conrad Stonebanks across ten fast‑paced missions set in Eastern European forests and lumber mills. Play as seven legendary soldiers, each with unique weapons and special attacks, in a side‑scrolling shooter that blends platforming, comedy, and explosive action. The game supports up to four players in local co‑op, letting friends run‑and‑gun together while triggering massive chain reactions of fire, napalm, and limbs. With pixel‑art visuals and a tongue‑in‑cheek tone, The Expendabros delivers a nostalgic yet fresh indie experience for fans of chaotic shooters.
