I'm about to purchase the Showdown effect and have a good time with my girlfriend.
As I am browsing in the recent reviews, one person said that you need 8 players to start a game.

Is there no dedicated server?
Can two players play the game?

I want to make sure it is possible before turning my head on to King Arthur's Gold.

So you can't basically host a game?

Had this in my library so I just gave it a try. Only saw 1 server running, with 2 players playing, so the game does appear dead. You can host a game yourself, with a player limit of 2, but there are only versus modes, so I am not sure how fun it would be playing AGAINST your gf and not WITH her. You also cannot play alone, so at least 2 players are required.

Seems like a dumb design choice not to include bots for single player and coop play.

So yeah, I would say this game is dead. Hope this helps.

I tried posting earlier but couldn't ;-;

  • you can host a game yourself, you can even start a match by yourself, but there are no bots so it's not very exciting
  • there are a few servers up during primetime, I don't know if there are dedicated servers or not, but I've seen as many as 6-8 players on a single server during prime time on friday/saturday nights (NA)
