Campaign Co-Op is NOT A THING.

[Caex]

A big warning for people who love the experience of going through campaign co-op together: This game DOES NOT SUPPORT Simultaneous Campaign Co-op. If you and your partner are at the same mission, you can not join one-another in Campaign.

One of you must beat the mission before the other in order to join their campaign session. This is a huge, GLARING flaw with the game as it means there is no way to do a synchronous co-op playthrough of the game (Other than maybe splitscreen? Not sure.)

Huge drawback for me, as this was a game I was looking forward to like many other Warriors experiences as a **2 PLAYER CAMPAIGN** game, not a multiplayer-after-beating-it game.

It's mostly been that way since the genre so don't know what you were expecting

[Caex]

Not always, there's been a number I was able to play through with a friend through the full campaign story with / choosing missions and going back as-needed. It's not "Always" been that way (Though maybe for SW it has, as the game's are more spread and I don't recall them.)

for example, I believe both Warriors Orochi 3 and Samurai Warriors 4-II did not put this limitation on their co-op mode.

I will also add: What's the point of making it so only people who have *Beaten the level already can join you*? That just means one person will be using a strong character set than the other (or has the potential to) and will take out the challenge for the first person. It's a *really* bad design flaw that should not have been included.

Do co-op campaign right.

oh yeah both required missions to be finished in those before hand thats for sure

[Caex]

Still bad game design, regardless. I could swear I remember going through Samurai Warriors 4-II with a friend, though. Who knows why I remember it so differnetly.

[Caex]

Adding to this, a topic from GameFAQ's showed someone quoting quite the contrary for Samurai warriors 4 specifically -

"To my knowledge every game mode has multiplayer and online co-op, I'm not entirely sure if 4-II's Challenge Castle mode has online. You also don't need to to already play a stage in story mode to use it in co-op (only difference is that in story mode you cannot freely chose characters and each stage has a specific set if characters available) A key difference between single and multiplayer is that each player can only control one character in battle, whereas in single play you control two characters and switch between them freely, and give commands to whichever character you aren't controlling at the time."

terrible disappointed at how the coop functions... NO LOBBY, no room list NOTHING.

Funny thing is that you can play the mission at the same time if you are second player on the same PC. (So, I guess remote play is an option?)
Not all missions are available for 2 players in Musou mode thought.

How do you go about doing this in remote play?

You bring up Steam Overlay, then invite a friend list player for Remote Play. Their Steam config emulates the 2P controller. So if they are K/M, they use that and it translates to movement on your screen. You're basically a host and your friend's controller is the client.

We attempted this but steam did not give an option for remote play.

REMOTE PLAY WORKS FINE SOMETHING ON YOUR END sorry for caps am too lazy to re write

[Pablo Picostco]

This has pretty much killed any interest I had in the game. I played the previous ones split-screen back in the day with my sibling, and we were looking forward to getting to play this one online since we no longer live together.

Saying it works fine is about as effective as your earlier statement claiming that other games had the same requirements on coop. (Read: You were wrong there, you're probably wrong here)

We aren't being given the option by steam to invite one another to remote play when we're on the screen. 'Can you explain what methods you're using to get it enabled? We literally went and remote played Bee Simulatour immediatelly following this game so I am relatively sure it's Not "on our end."
