How it plays

  • Local co-op lets friends drop in at any point of a run.

  • Without Repentance, extra players join as small flying babies who shoot but cannot pick up items, and each costs the main player a heart; with Repentance they play full characters with their own items.

  • A run lasts roughly half an hour to an hour and gets hard fast.

  • On Steam, the Repentance+ expansion adds online co-op for up to four.
