Could have been a cool single player game

Could have been a cool split screen and LAN game.

People can barely find anyone to play with globally over the internet. It wouldn't work as a lan game.

Any game works as a LAN game. That's the advantage of being a LAN game. Of course, when you build a game like that, you know not to assume that you'll always have 10 players in a match, and you build it to scale to that. If they released it with LAN and a deathmatch mode for any number of players, even if they did no rebalancing on the character designs to account for it and the there were obvious top tiers and low tiers, I'd still buy it.

I'm saying that if there aren't enough players to sustain a multiplayer game globally you're not going to find people to play with locally.

And I'm saying that if you throw in a quick deathmatch mode, it's playable with only one friend. And when a game has LAN, that means that you can play with a gaming VPN regardless of the presence of official servers.
