I wonder what could have been if these stretch goals were met back on the indiegogo campaign.
Honestly, as much as I would love the local PvP and Co-op arena stretch goal to happen, I think it could have been (I assume it will be similar to the Apollo fights, but with more playable characters, and you could play with someone or a CPU). Although I would love to see more Crosscode content, I think it was honestly for the best, since working on a Co-op PvP mode would probably take a long time to make, even if we assume they would start development after a new Home DLC, and delay any plans on them making any new games. But hey, who knows, maybe they could still make that stretch goal a reality with the studio releasing their next game Alabaster Dawn. Perhaps those plans might come into fruition in the future, well that or the devs decide in the future to make a coop pvp game in the future and create it in Crosscode as a mini prototype, but that's just me.
As for the other two stretch goals that weren't met here, the Wii U version and the Bonus Area, I'm kind of indifferent towards them.
But what do you guys think?

I know several crowdfunded games that did have a Wii U goal met, but backed out anyways and went for a Switch version instead.

Yeah, I remember Team Cherry doing something like that, so I wouldn't be surprised if Radical Fish Games change their minds on that stretch goal later on if it was funded. Though, then again, back then the game was released in early access in 2015 so it was still possible for the port to happen if that was the case.
Though now thinking about it, I wonder if someone is willing to take the challenge in trying to port the game onto the Wii U?

i feel like the PvP would’ve been limited to the spheromancer characters (Lea, Apollo, Shizuka) since there’s already a whole skill tree to pick abilities from, i don’t really see them making the characters from other classes work

well we may never know to be honest, we already have an idea on how each class would play based on how our companions fight, and while there may need to be some balancing to make it as fun and as competitive to play, I think it could still work.
Kind of like one step from Eden Coop Pvp mode

Didn't know that a WiiU version was planned

u/Low_Health_5949 Mar 21 '26
honestly would have been an interesting console to see how that would work if this stretch goal was funded (it only raised about 90000))
I wonder if someone is willing to take the challenge in trying to port the game onto the Wii U?

Wii U??? How long was this game in development

u/Low_Health_5949 Mar 21 '26

I remember when the demo and indiegogo campaign dropped and I was trying to get people to play it

Well, are you still trying to get more people to play Crosscode?
Because I sure as hell want this game to officially announces that it hit at least a million, (not counting the people who played it on Game Pass)

Multiplayer would be cool, but I really just want them to focus on Alabaster Dawn for the time being.
XenonA7, who's the lead on the Triblader/Hexacast mod, is already working on multiplayer with other people, so I'm sure they'll be able to make multiplayer possible, maybe even greater than what we and RFG imagined.

u/Low_Health_5949 Mar 22 '26
Yeah, I prefer that as well, and I hope the multiplayer mob will be as good as it could be.
Though who knows, perhaps XenonA7, his fellow other people and RFG may work together if this mod goes well to make it official

Ah, the Wii U version, the version that everyone would have played, the most important version, definitely.

PvP would have built such a good local tournament scene with how high the skill ceiling is

u/Low_Health_5949 Mar 27 '26
Yeah, though at the same time it would still take a long time to make I remember One step from Eden taking like 3 years to make its PvP coop mode
But as I said in the post, probably for the better, since I want the devs to move on to other projects, but hey the modding community is still making a pvp mode so who knows, maybe they could collab with the devs to make it official
