Twitch-streamer HandOfBlood wanted to try the new co-op game Ore Factory Squad for his new video on YouTube but can only tear himself away after 3 hours.
What is Ore Factory Squad? The cooperative mining and factory building game by developer threeW was released on July 16, 2026 on Steam and has 90 percent positive reviews there. The co-op fun is said to cost around 13 Euros and there is a free demo that all interested parties can play.
It’s worth taking a look. In his new video on YouTube, Max “HandOfBlood” Knabe describes Ore Factory Squad as the “new co-op game of the hour.” It’s about digging, but with motivating Factorio or Satisfactory elements.
Solo or with up to 3 friends, you can build a business together, set up automated conveyor belt cycles, and become rich by selling the processed natural resources. The release trailer for Ore Factory Squad gives you a good first impression:
“As a long-time logistician, that was a tough watch”
What does HandOfBlood show? When the popular streamer and YouTuber introduces a new game to his community, he usually only plays for about an hour, explaining the basic mechanics. However, digging with Sterzik, Tasel, and later Kazu obviously brought Hänno so much joy that he worked for more than 3 hours in the mine.
This was certainly due in part to the cheerful co-op chaos, but also to the motivating cycle of farming raw materials, processing them, earning money, upgrading the business, and farming raw materials more efficiently. The four guys don’t necessarily shine with their logistics expertise.
Under the video, bbfreak31 writes: “As a long-time logistician, that was a tough watch.” Many viewers definitely had fun. CnnBllJnkns celebrates: “I love it! More of that, please!” CedOderSo wants more videos about the co-op fun: “Really cool game, I hope there’s more to come.”
In the end, Hänno himself is surprised by the playtime and puts his hand on his head: “YouTube, 3 hours. 3! Hoho. […] You always have a carrot in front of your nose and can keep going.”
If you’ve become curious, you can simply play thanks to the free demo. Are you interested? Let us know in the comments! Another cooperative fun that is currently exciting on Steam is here: New co-op game from the makers of Untitled Goose Game hits Steam with immediate dream ratings
