How it plays
Co-op is a pair.
A friend can be summoned into your mission at a shrine and stays until one of you dies, or the two of you can take on missions as companions who revive each other; a shared password makes sure you find each other.
It is hard and long, and suits two friends who enjoy learning boss patterns together.
The Complete Edition includes all three story expansions.
