How it plays
Friends join one hero party and play the whole campaign together, each with their own class, skills and loot drops, so nobody fights over gear.
Fights are fast clicking or button mashing that still leaves room to talk, and the new game plus and mods keep a group going after the ending.
PC sessions take up to six, console sessions four.
