tell that to the 301 mudokons you'll apparently be controlling in soulstorm
no but jokes aside 5 characters is totally workable, it's not like they all -have- to be in the same level or area simultaneously

They are not so important for story as main characters. 301 Mudokons may be just tool for puzzle solving, though I do not really like them in the role of simple decoration.
I mean, it is quite difficult to write down all five characters in the story quite well and to give them enough screen time. As for the gameplay, it seems to me, to control them all in one game will be possible only if you divide it into several chapters, in each of which will be one or two characters.
