About Spoop Troop
Spoop Troop is a chaotic 2-4 player co-op and PvP platformer from eyethree games, released October 29, 2025 on PC. It’s a lighthearted asymmetric horror game where one team plays ghost hunters with gadgets like spirit traps while the other controls mischievous spooks. The premise is simple: the hunters must capture ghosts, but the spooks fight back with hauntings, traps, and comedic sabotage. Split-screen and couch co-op are core to the design, making it ideal for parties or friends with short attention spans. The game leans into absurdity, with slapstick horror and goofy voice lines to keep the tone accessible. It’s not a deep narrative experience but a party game about chasing and being chased.
Gameplay
Each round pits 1-2 hunters against 2-4 ghosts in a shifting environment. Hunters collect evidence, set traps, and use limited gadgets like flashlights to expose spooks. Ghosts, meanwhile, interact with the world by moving objects, causing hallucinations, and triggering jump scares. The core loop revolves around chasing, dodging, and using the map’s hazards, like electrified water or falling debris, to gain the upper hand. Split-screen view means everyone’s perspective is cramped but shared, encouraging chaos. Controls are responsive, with ghosts relying on speed and stealth while hunters focus on strategy and timing. Matches rarely last more than ten minutes, ending in capture or escape. The asymmetry means roles shift drastically, hunters feel tactical, ghosts feel anarchic.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, with 72% completing the base content. Average playtime is 2.1 hours, though 37 achievements (100% completion) take 5.8 hours. Community moods are split: 68% “Fun,” 22% “Chaotic,” and 10% “Annoying.” Critics on Metacritic give it a 78, praising creativity and accessibility but noting repetitive hauntings. One review calls it “the party game equivalent of a haunted slumber party.” Achievement data shows 43% earn the “Spooktactular!” trophy for winning 50 PvP matches, while 17% get the “Busted” achievement for being captured 10 times. Casual players dominate the leaderboards, with top hunters averaging 12-15 wins per session.
PlayPile's Take
Spoop Troop is a $29.99 pick-up-and-play blast for fans of chaotic co-op. It lacks depth but delivers consistent laughs and quick matches. The asymmetric gameplay keeps things fresh, though hunters may grow frustrated by ghost spawn rates. Achievements are plentiful but grind-heavy. If you have friends nearby and want 10-minute horror fun without narrative pressure, this is your jam. Skip it if you prefer story-driven or skill-based platformers. The split-screen and low skill ceiling make it a niche hit, but for the right crowd, it’s a spook-tacular time.
