How it plays

  • Like It Takes Two, it cannot be played soloThe screen is always split and each writer gets abilities the other needs.

  • It is faster and more combat-heavy than its predecessor, with strong language, so it suits adult pairs better than parent-and-child sessions.

  • Story together
  • Action
  • Puzzles
  • Newcomer friendly
