About the game
You play Dani, a local who joins a rebel group against a dictator on the fictional island of Yara. Most of the time you roam a big map on foot, by horse, car or helicopter, take over bases and finish missions. You can sneak in with a suppressed weapon or go loud with a homemade rocket backpack. A dog or a crocodile can tag along and help in fights.
Once you finish the opening mission, one friend can join your campaign online from the in-game menu. Only two people can play together. Your friend can drop in and out, so you can switch between solo and pair play. A few missions are built just for two.
Plans fall apart when one of you sneaks and the other charges in. The long trips between objectives go faster with someone to talk to. It suits two friends who like roaming a big map and shooting their way through bases.
