The Cave supports up to 3 player local co-op play. Sadly there is no online co-op.

The Cave has a good sense of humor within, something expected when considering the game was created by the same people as The Secret of Monkey Island.
Pro Characters based on 7 deadly sins
Each character represents one of the seven deadly sins making the game a bit of a moral tale.
Pro Varied, beautiful world
A variety in locations visited and enemies met, that all are beautifully designed, gives the game a world that feels alive.
Pro Great combat system
Choose between solo and paired combat, where damage dealt is increased and damage taken in shared. Add to that a 'rock, paper, scissors'-type elements system mixed with a great selection of magic abilities, choice passive traits and charge bars that unlock special abilities and you get a deep combat system.
Cons
Con Tedious level design
There is a lot of backtracking and lever pulling that gives a feeling of lazy level design to elongate the game.
Con Co-op may leave one or two players out on certain stages
Some stages do not offer gameplay for all co-op players. Although the co-op is drop in drop out, certain points of the game do not offer anything for the other players to do.
Con Dull story
The story feels as though it falls flat during most of the game.
