How it plays
The campaign is solo, so for a group it is Battlemode only: three friends play best-of-five rounds, with the two demons coordinating summons and traps against a fully armed Slayer.
It suits players who already know the campaign's pace.
Each player needs a copy on the same platform family; there is no crossplay.
