How it plays
Up to six players share one party through the whole campaign, each taking one or more characters in turn-based fights and voting on dialogue.
Expect long evenings, plenty of reading and talk about tactics between turns.
Everyone needs their own copy on the same platform, and there is no split-screen.
Co-op is on PC, PS5 and Xbox; Nintendo lists the Switch 2 version for one player only.
