We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Local groups of 2-4 players who want coordinated arcade combat
- Solo players who prefer short-control dungeon action
- Teams interested in score competition and online rankings
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a story-focused adventure, since the game explicitly minimizes narrative content
- Players wanting individually managed health and independent combat, since the team shares one health bar
- Groups looking for online cooperative play rather than local couch cooperation
Our take on xDasher
The shared health bar makes cooperation central, but it also means one player's mistakes affect the whole group. Color restrictions and timed attack sequences further reduce individual freedom in exchange for coordinated team play.
What is xDasher?
xDasher is a local cooperative dungeon game for one to four players, with a single-player mode also available.
Players dash through monsters marked with their assigned color, alternating attacks within a short time window to defeat them. The group shares one health bar, so every player must contribute during encounters. Runs combine randomly selected stages drawn from more than 80 handcrafted levels, with additional boss battles in the full game. A later encounter features a four-headed beast. Two-button controls and support for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, and other controllers shape the play experience. Teams can compete on an online leaderboard, earn awards, and raise their score by defeating monsters and progressing through the dungeon.
