How many poor souls can Leatherface handle at once? A not-so-serious guide to Texas Chain Saw Massacre player count
So you and your friends are itching for a good ol' fashioned horror romp through the disturbing world of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But how many of you can squeeze into that rickety old farmhouse before things get a little too crowded? Well, buckle up kiddos, because we're about to find out!
The Classics: You vs. Leatherface (and his pals)
Let's be honest, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre wasn't exactly designed with multiplayer in mind. Those poor teenagers were running for their lives, not exactly forming an orderly queue. But hey, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, I guess you could say there's enough room for... exactly one unfortunate soul to be chased by Leatherface. Unless, of course, you're REALLY good at hiding. In which case, maybe two.
The Cannibal Co-op: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work (of Survival)
Fast forward to the fancy new video game, and things get a bit more interesting. This time, you can actually team up with your buddies to outsmart (or maybe just outrun) the Sawyer family. How many friends can you drag into this mess? Well, you've got two options:
-
The Stealth Squad: Up to 4 Terror-Tamers If you're a fan of the whole "sticking to the shadows" approach, then four is your magic number. That's enough folks to create a good diversion (hey Lefty, look! Over here!), but not so many that you'll all be tripping over each other's feet in the cornfield.
-
The All-Out Assault: A Chainsaw Massacre for the Ages Alright, alright, so maybe you and your crew are feeling a little more fearless. Maybe you just want to see how many Sawyers you can mow down with a good old-fashioned chainsaw. If that's the case, then you can go all in with a full lobby of seven players. Just remember, the more the merrier, the messier the meat grinder.
Bonus Tip: How NOT to Play Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Here's a friendly word of advice: don't try to play with more than seven people. Trust me, things get crazy enough with just Leatherface and his kin chasing you around. Eight chainsaw-wielding maniacs? That's a recipe for disaster (and probably a very short game).
So there you have it, folks! Your guide to navigating the delightful world of Texas Chainsaw Massacre multiplayer. Now get out there and and and... try to survive?
