Games Like Kingdom Two Crowns for Multiplayer Groups

Kingdom Two Crowns is perfect for two, but the third friend always ends up watching. These games like Kingdom Two Crowns take a bigger multiplayer group: Hearthfall puts four of you in one medieval village to build by day and defend by night, Dome Keeper takes eight online, The Riftbreaker four, and Medieval Dynasty and Valheim suit builders.

What makes Kingdom special is that feeling of a little home you grow in the daylight and nervously protect when the sun goes down. Below are the games that keep some of that feeling and let more friends in. Facts about other games are as of November 2026, from their stores and publishers. Hearthfall is ours (the Hearthfall guide explains it in full), so we'll also say when another game suits your group better.

How many players can play Kingdom Two Crowns?

Two. Kingdom Two Crowns has online co-op and split screen for two monarchs, and that's the limit on every platform (on PlayStation, online play needs PS Plus). For a pair it's lovely: you each ride, spend coins, recruit and build, and hold the walls together against the Greed.

For a third friend there's no official way in. That's the gap this list fills.

The comparison table

Hearthfall: a Kingdom-style village for four

Hearthfall keeps Kingdom's heartbeat. By day you grow a medieval settlement: farms by the meadow, cottages, a mill against the woods, walls going up stone by stone. Then the bell tolls at dusk, red rings mark where they will come from, and monsters march out of their lairs towards your Keep. If the Keep falls, the run is over.

The difference is that four of you run it together, and each of you has a job. The Steward keeps the village fed, the Marshal trains the army, the Master Mason raises the walls and patches them mid-fight, and the Warden roams the wilds beyond. The shouting across the table ("who's got stone?", "archers to the east tower!") is a big part of the fun.

It's seen from above, not side-on, on a whole valley with regions to claim: four on the Small map, seven on Normal, nine on Large. That makes it busier than Kingdom's calm ride. With two or three of you, any duty nobody picked is shared by everyone, so small groups never leave a job undone. The Hearthfall duties guide shows how to split them.

Getting friends in is quick: a 4-letter room code, an invite link, or an invite straight from the Pixaplay overlay. It plays in the browser and it's an early-access beta for Pixaplay Pass members, still being built. Start a room in Hearthfall.

Pick it if you're three or four and want a shared kingdom with jobs to split. Skip it if what you love is Kingdom's quiet, almost wordless style.

Dome Keeper: four on one couch, eight online

Dome Keeper's free multiplayer update (April 2026) added co-op with split screen for up to four players in the same room, and online play for up to eight. Everyone digs for treasure underground, then scrambles back up to defend the dome when the next wave hits.

Pick it if your group plays on one screen on the sofa, like many Kingdom pairs do, or there are more than four of you. Skip it if you want a village to grow: you build one dome, not a town.

The Riftbreaker: four players online

The Riftbreaker's 2.0 update in August 2025 brought online co-op for four to its campaign and Survival mode on PC; the console versions don't have it. Each player pilots a mech, builds a sprawling base and defends it from alien waves.

Pick it if your group wants 3D action and a long campaign. Skip it if the medieval mood is what drew you to Kingdom.

Medieval Dynasty and Valheim: building first

If what your group loved was building a home together, more than defending it, two bigger games fit. Medieval Dynasty became a four-player co-op game on PC in December 2023, and on PS5 and Xbox Series in June 2024: you found and grow a medieval village in first person, with farming, crafting and villagers. Valheim lets up to ten Viking survivors build bases and explore, with occasional raids on what you've built. It left early access with its 1.0 release in September 2026, arriving on PS5 and Switch 2.

Neither has a siege every night, so they miss Kingdom's dusk dread. Both have far more world to wander than anything else here.

What changes when you move from Kingdom to Hearthfall?

Kingdom players notice a few things on their first Hearthfall night:

• You talk a lot more. In Kingdom each monarch can do anything. In Hearthfall only the Marshal trains soldiers and only the Master Mason upgrades, so you ask each other, by voice, a ping or the Tasks board.
• The day is on a clock. The first day is a little over three minutes and later ones about two and a half, and if everyone rings the bell, dusk comes early. A night lasts five minutes at most and ends the moment the wave is beaten.
• You can strike back. In the campaign you smash three lairs and storm the foe's Citadel, instead of only holding the line.
• A lost fight isn't a lost crown. Fallen heroes are back in about 20 seconds. Only the Keep falling ends the run.

Which should your group play?

• Two players: stay with Kingdom Two Crowns. Nothing here beats it for a pair.
• Three or four, one screen: Dome Keeper.
• Three or four online, medieval, with a fight every night: Hearthfall.
• Four online, wanting action: The Riftbreaker.
• A big group that wants to build and explore: Valheim or Medieval Dynasty.

Thronefall comes up in the same breath as Kingdom, and it has no official co-op at all: our co-op games like Thronefall page covers it. If you'd like the strategy turned up, see the co-op RTS games to play with friends.
