Co-op?
Will co-op be added down the road?

Not OP but thanks for responding. If you want to reach a much wider audience, I highly recommend reconsidering adding co-op.

Yeah, no Co-Op is gonna hurt the game. Take a note from Gunfire, they did it right.

I understand that if co-op goes against the artistic vision or is impossible to balance with how the game's already been established, that that's the end of the discussion, and there's no point in considering it.

But co-op always give me and my friends so much more replayability to a rogue-like, because it allows the game to exist as a go-to "hangout" game for the group. Game looks amazing so far regardless, but no co-op does stifle my excitement a little.

We appreciate the excitement, despite the lack of co-op. Not to mention, are thankful for the feedback from everyone :) No plans currently for these changes, but we're always listening and seeing where things will take us as we move into Early Access in the not-so distant future.

Yeah I find these types of games can get born if pretty fast when you are just going through by yourself again and again.

Optional co-op would be good to have.

Was about to post this but I'm glad I looked through the discussions. I do not mean to be disrespectful by saying this, but I don't think a Third person/first person shooter rogue-like can become very successful without multiplayer co-op. You got Risk of Rain 2 and Gunfire Reborn to compete with. I can keep on playing those games forever (which seems like I will be) but if ya'll had multiplayer I have 2 dozen people that would buy the game right when it drops.

Anyway I hope you are a success in spite of what I think, have a great day, week, month of your life.

Almost all of my playtime in games like Gunfire or Risk of Rain 2 is from playing coop. Game looked interesting, but no coop is pretty much a no-buy for me personally. Still wish the best of luck to the devs, but pretty sure no coop will heavily hurt the sales.

I'm very thankful that there isn't going to be co-op. I only play these games if they're single-player focused, as the balance and feature set is usually much better without things being considered with multiplayer in mind. I think the game is going to do great, for that reason.

That's disappointing. No co-op means the game has an extremely short shelf-life before it gets boring AF. Was going to buy tomorrow but now I won't.

Nothing to add up, I'm just crossing my fingers as well and hoping for coop at some point (hopefully not too late because the farthest into a game development, the harder it can get to add multiplayer and balance it all).

My group of friends also share the same interest as well.

No Coop -> leave it rotting in the store even so it could be an awesome game...

Coop -> Getting it with my friends and having fun playing it together again and again :D

Still keeping an eye on it in case there will be coop someday, by the game itself or mods.

I'd play this regardless of co-op (definitely my cup of tea), but that would certainly be a nice feature.

I love these type of games and with how well games like Gunfire Reborn and Crab Champions have done with Co-op and I really hope you consider adding it. There are a lot of people who dont care to play games alone. Co-op would appeal to them and thus making it more inclusive to other communities.
