Local Co-Op means split screen or shared screen?

[Bob the Boomer]

As the title says, wondering what indeed is this games take on waht local co op defines itself as.

I would hate to think it is only split screen or shared screen on the same PC.

Shared screen. You can get a preview of co-op gameplay toward the end of the preview video.

Ty for the reply mate, bugger i was hoping for a new rpg co op but shared screen local is nxt to impossible none of my family members would play it locally and i don't have friends around the corner who can just pop over and visit to play a local shared screen game.

On a side note, i really wonder what makes devs / publishers decide not having proper co op mode via the net i am sure it would increase the sales volume.

I'm attempting to figure out, how you actually activate co-op mode on the PC. I've two gamepads and even can alternate with the keyboard and mouse. I can not find a co-op mode option anywhere in the UI menu's.

Sounds like you just load a normal game and player 2 presses "start" to join in. Player 2 also doesn't get saved. You have to start a new character every time, but it gets bumped up to the same level as player 1.

Shared screen. The game is more about completing levels, not about building a monster character.
@Commodore 64 The reason is that the game is a port from the xbox(meaning it wasn't release on pc nor was it planned to.) This may change in the future as we are seeing more and more games ported from that system. It was only meant to be played on a console where it is much easier to do local co-op. Microsoft puts a lot of game on the pc after they have been out for a while. Some, like trenched(Iron brigade) and earth defence force, port well and do well. Others namely this one, not so much.

FYI the game is playable in coop on a shared screen and the developpers have patched player 2's save :)
