About the game
You choose a hero and a pet, then chase a corrupted alchemist through monster-filled regions. Battles send you searching through piles of weapons and armour for equipment that fits your skills. Side paths lead to extra dungeons and small quests. Your pet fights beside you and can sell unwanted items in town while you keep exploring.
You can bring a party of six together online on PC, or four on consoles. Each player develops a character, so you can combine different attacks and support skills without taking a fixed job. The campaign gives you a route to follow across several evenings. After the ending, you can keep your character for harder playthroughs or return to dungeons for more loot.
