Is Trent Oster's Saturday morning cartoon game co-op only?

"MythForce’s early access launch will include four playable heroes (apparently the ones in the trailer) in a rokken-like-Dökken first episode titled Bastion of the Beastlord. “Players can brave the dungeon alone or join forces with friends in online co-op mode for up to four people,” Beamdog said."

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

I googled this and I still have no idea what it means

Thanks for the info!

Pretty sure its a reference to the glam metal band Dokken whose biggest hits in the US IIRC correspond to the 1983-1988 period, so it fits in with the Masters of the Universe / Thundercats era.  There was a phrase at the time if you were going to rock out (not necessarily even musically) that you were "rockin' like Dokken*".

So "rokken-like-Dökken" just changes the spelling of Rockin' to match Dokken and would be a more elaborate way to say "it's rockin'" or, you know, exciting and good.

*I'm not sure Dokken is actually supposed to be pronounced correctly to rhyme with rockin'. Anyhow I do know people at the time did pronounce Dokken to rhyme with Rockin, because I've heard people say they were Rockin' like Dokken before.

Mind you, Dokken didn't rock all that much.

Warlock rocked much rockier than that.

 

But I guess rokken like Dokken is catchier than roro like Doro...

They better include a reference to Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round eventually. Otherwise, what's even the point?:shrugz:

I'm also hoping they're not Too Shy to throw in a Kajagoogoo reference.

No need to get up, I'll show myself out.

Here Dokken is best known for the title song of what's arguably the best Nightmare on Elm Street film. :yes:

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Oh, it's a Beamdog game... Hmm... Hype gone... Will wait year or two then, to see how the score will be then...

Hehe. Beamdog and I have parted company, so I have no interest in anything from them.

Once they started to expand the story I started to enjoy the game less - it shipped from realizing a grim, corporate, exploitative reality, to being over the top riddiculous.

I haven't actually played it much to see what the story is, what did they do ? And does the story matter all that much ?

It doesn’t matter too much. Just different intro and more talking during the missions.
