- Online Co-Op: Team up with 2–4 players to dive into roguelike chaos. Explore together or split up to cover more ground.
- Synergy Building: Combine unique item builds to create powerful synergies as a group.
How Co-Op Works
- Online-Only: No local co-op available currently.
- Shared Maps, Independent Exploration: Players roam different rooms to speed up progression and uncover secrets.
- Individual Progression: Each player collects separate loot, pets, and weapons, leading to distinct builds.
Build Coordination
- Adaptive Strategy: Random drops require real-time coordination (e.g., assigning roles like melee, ranged, or pet-focused).
- Complementary Playstyles: Adjust tactics based on teammates’ strengths (e.g., cover ranged if others specialize in close combat).
Performance and Bug Fixes
- Recent Fixes: July 18 patch resolved freezing issues and improved connectivity.
- Ongoing Updates: Developers continue testing stability enhancements and addressed weapon-specific bugs like the Chidori Kunai glitch.
Hidden Co-Op Depth
- New Tactics: Coordinate actions like triggering traps while teammates handle enemies.
- Scaled Difficulty: Enemy health and behavior adjust dynamically with team size to maintain challenge.
