About the game
Lilith returns to Sanctuary, and you cross its ruined towns, deserts and mountains to stop her. You fight packs of demons, clear dungeons and collect weapons and armour. Each class has its own skills, and the equipment you find changes how those skills work. The campaign gives your group a story to follow before you return for tougher fights and more loot.
Up to four players join an online party across supported platforms. You each control your own hero and combine attacks against the same enemies. PlayStation, Xbox and Switch 2 also let two people play on one device. Ordinary fights give you room to settle into a rhythm, while bosses ask for more careful movement. This suits friends who enjoy improving characters over many sessions.
