About the game
You steer a survivor through waves of skeletons, bats and other creatures while your weapons fire on their own. Fallen enemies leave gems that raise your level and offer new weapons or upgrades. Each run gives you another chance to try a different combination. Gold buys permanent improvements, and discoveries unlock more characters, stages and items.
Up to four players fight together online on PC and consoles, or on one device across supported platforms. Local play keeps everyone on one shared screen and limits each person's weapon slots. Online players can move independently, but each needs a copy. Mobile supports local play, with connected controllers. You choose how to support the group with the equipment available. Runs mix careful early movement with crowded late battles, and simple controls leave room to talk once your weapons can hold the enemies back.
