How it plays

  • Two players team up as members of the Bergson family on one screen on every platform, and can play the whole story that way.

  • Each relative fights differently, so a pair can pair an archer with a sword-and-shield fighter.

  • On PC the second player can also join online, or through Remote Play Together without a copy.

  • Action
  • Story together
  • Newcomer friendly
