How it plays
Up to four players can share one screen or play online, each steering their own character through the swarm while weapons fire automatically and everyone picks their own upgrades.
A standard run lasts about half an hour.
Online play needs a copy each and stays within one platform family.
At the end of an online run, each player chooses whether to save the shared gold and unlocks to their own file.
