How it plays
Up to three players fight through missions together online, which softens the steep difficulty: one can draw a boss while another heals or lines up an attack.
Gear and builds run deep, so it suits friends who enjoy comparing loot and learning boss patterns.
Everyone needs a copy, and PC and PlayStation players cannot play together.
