How it plays
On PC, friends fight side by side through the scenarios and can play the Beneath roguelike in co-op with two to four players, using separate co-op saves.
The combat is gory slapstick, so it suits adults who want chaos rather than tactics.
The console versions have no multiplayer, so the group needs PCs and a copy each.
