How it plays
Up to four players share one screen or play online, picking weapons and skills that combo off each other.
Downed players keep helping as ghosts, and the enemies scale with the size of the group.
Runs are short enough that a loss means one more try.
On Switch it is couch-only; the PlayStation and Xbox versions came later, in 2025.
