A punishing, painterly action RPG on a plague-struck island, with deliberate souls-like combat, loot and a town to rebuild.
Who can play
- No split-screen on any platform.
- Online for up to 4 players on PC.
- Each player online needs their own copy.
How it plays
Since the co-op update in January 2026, up to four players share one persistent realm: the world, its progress and the town carry on between sessions, and friends can come and go.
Enemies get tougher and more numerous with each extra player.
Combat is slow and unforgiving, so it suits a group that enjoys learning boss patterns together.
It is still in Early Access on PC; the full release, planned for March 2027, adds PlayStation 5.
