Hello from Nexon PEAK.

Games are fun on your own, but some moments stay with you longer when you share them with someone else—whether you’re running a dungeon together, coordinating in a 2v2 match, or decorating a home and taking photos.

On PEAK, Picos shared their stories about “games to play as a duo” through the [Nexon PEAK Post Challenge]. Drawing on their posts, this feature rounds up the Nexon games they highlighted as great choices to enjoy with a friend or partner.

Read on to discover the two-player activities and interactions that Picos enjoyed together!

[At a Glance] TOP 5 Games to Play as a Duo, According to Picos

• Mabinogi Mobile - Spend time together with the couple system, two-player actions, and My Home

• FC ONLINE - Build teamwork with a friend through 2v2 ranked matches and club management

• Elsword - Enjoy a special bond through 지애/Soulmate and El House

• MapleStory - Make memories with two-player boss raids and matching outfits

• Biped - Share funny surprises and rewarding successes in co-op puzzles that require you to keep your steps in sync

1. Mabinogi Mobile — Make Memories with the Couple System and My Home

Mabinogi Mobile was the game most frequently mentioned in PEAK posts as a great choice for two. Picos noted that while completing quests solo is enjoyable, Mabinogi Mobile is even more fun with someone else.

The couple system and two-player animations stood out as features to enjoy together. Couple-exclusive movement, gifts, and effects let players express their bond, while actions such as bridal carries and couple dances make for great screenshots.

My Home, where players can decorate a space for the two of them, also proved popular with Picos. Decorating a shared space and relaxing together offers a way to make memories without necessarily taking part in combat—an apparent part of Mabinogi Mobile’s appeal for duos.

💬 "For me, 《Mabinogi Mobile》 is more than a game where I develop my character. What makes it the most special game to me is that it’s where I’ve made memories with the person I love." — 감쟈, [Happier Together in Mabinogi Mobile]

2. FC ONLINE — A Sports Game Where 2v2 Matches and Tactical Teamwork Shine

Picos highlighted FC ONLINE as a game whose matches are even more fun with a friend. While solo play is enjoyable, teaming up adds the satisfaction of timing passes and coordinating tactical calls.

In particular, 2v2 ranked matches offer a promising way to build teamwork as a duo. Deciding in real time who makes a run, who delivers the pass, and when to provide defensive cover can turn the same match into a much more collaborative experience.

Picos also highlighted running a club together, building squads, and analyzing the transfer market. Friends with different skill levels can focus on tactics in Manager Mode, suggesting that FC ONLINE has ways for both players to enjoy the game in their own style.

3. Elsword — An Action RPG to Enjoy Together with 지애/Soulmate and El House

Elsword’s relationship systems and housing content earned it mentions as a great game for two. Picos highlighted the chance to form a special bond with a friend or partner through the 지애 or Soulmate system.

지애/Soulmate lets players form an in-game relationship with a specific person and enjoy playing together. It goes beyond shared dungeon runs: forming a bond, receiving rewards, and experiencing special animations all help make playing as a duo feel more meaningful.

El House also looks well suited to shared play, letting players decorate their own space and invite friends over for a virtual house party. Alongside its action RPG combat, Elsword offers the fun of building relationships and creating spaces together.

💬 "Elsword has content you can enjoy as a duo: 지애 or Soulmate!" — ㅇ.ㅇ, [A Game with Plenty to Enjoy as a Duo!]

💬 "I’ve married friends many times through the 지애 system ^_^" — 딸기전사, [Will You Marry Me~ Elsword, a Great Game for Two]

4. MapleStory — An MMORPG for Making Memories with Duo Boss Runs and Matching Outfits

Picos highlighted MapleStory as a great game for making memories, whether by taking on bosses with a like-minded partner or coordinating outfits. While solo hunting offers its own sense of immersion, they pointed to the fun of working together to overcome challenging content.

Two-player boss raids make each player’s role and timing count, so coordination is especially rewarding. Overcoming difficult attack patterns and clearing a boss together brings a sense of achievement that feels different from playing alone.

Beyond combat, matching outfits and taking pictures at photo spots offer more ways to enjoy the game together. Screenshots of identical looks or color-coordinated outfits help preserve the memories of time spent in the game.

💬 "Quietly hunting monsters on your own can be deeply immersive, but the thrill of teaming up with a like-minded partner to conquer challenging content is the true appeal of online games." — 룰루랄라루아, [From Perfectly Coordinated Utility Skills to Specter Blast: Why MapleStory Delivers a Dopamine Rush for Duos]

5. Biped — A Co-op Puzzle Game Where Two Players Keep Their Steps in Sync

Picos recommended Biped as a co-op puzzle game that’s easy to pick up and enjoy together. Rather than a complicated brainteaser, they described it as a game for sharing a laugh while working things out with a friend.

Biped’s defining feature is the way players clear stages by controlling their left and right feet. When their timing falls out of sync, unexpected situations arise—and getting back in step to solve problems can be part of the fun.

A great game for two doesn’t have to be a blockbuster that demands hours of commitment. A game like Biped, which gets players talking and coordinating even in a short session, can be a good choice for some lighthearted play with a friend.

💬 "If you want to unwind with a short break and enjoy a relatively easy puzzle game with a friend, I recommend giving Biped a try!" — 유이무, [Recommended Games to Play with a Friend or Partner!]

[Why Picos Look for Games to Play as a Duo]

PEAK posts suggest that Picos look for more than the ability to log in together. The appeal lies in the conversations, teamwork, memories, and sense of achievement that come from a shared experience.

• Build a special bond: Features that let players express their relationship in the game, such as couple systems or 지애/Soulmate, strengthen that sense of connection.

• Make success more rewarding through cooperation: Victories in dungeons, boss fights, and puzzles that require two players to coordinate stay with them longer.

• Enjoy competition together: Facing off or playing on the same team, as in FC ONLINE’s 1v1 and 2v2 matches, creates a new story at every turn.

• Make memories beyond combat: My Home, El House, matching outfits, and screenshots offer reasons to play together that focus on the experience and the record it leaves, rather than the result.

• Play together despite different skill levels: Options beyond combat, such as customization, housing, tactical discussions, and puzzles, make it easier to enjoy a game together even with different playstyles.
