How does the Coop work?
Is there a special Coop Campaign or is it just skirmishmode?

It is basically the same as SC2's Coop mode. (If you never tried it out, go play it, it's the most popular game mode in SC2 and since SC2 is free2play you can also play a lot of Coop for free). And since it was so popular in SC2 they wanted to also make this game mode for Stormgate.

In Coop you have a bunch of so called 'Heroes', or Coop Commanders, who are basically special sub factions which have many unique upgrades and units and who are stronger than the regular factions. Each mission is a 3vE, so you choose one Commander and then th ematchmaking matches you with 2 other players as you play a special mission, which is much more ismilar to a campaign mission rather than a versus match.

After each mission your Commander gains EXP and unlocks new upgrades/abilities/units as they level up. Past lvl 10 you even unlock some kind of 'equipment' or however you want to call it, basically a bunch of very special upgrades and you must choose which ones you want before each mission (or at least in SC2 it was before the mission).

And usually you play on a random map, currently there are 5 maps, and each map has a different objective. And you also always fight a random enemy AI, who regularly sends clearly marked attack waves at you and your two allies, quite similar to campaign missions. And the AI also starts with pre buitl bases and won't usually rebuild them or build new bases.

Monetization wise you get one Commander for free (Blockase, a Vanguard 'Hero') and all others can also be played for free but with a level cap of 5, and buying them removes the level cap. And each Commander is priced with 10$ each.

TLDR: Coop is simply THE open ended PvE content Stormgate has to offer.

It's worth mentioning that co-op campaign is on the docket of things to develop for the game eventually, if that's what you're looking for, but based on the roadmap they shared, that won't be available until an unknown time in 2025.

But you don't all need to own the campaign content you want to play that when it's ready, just one of the people in the group.
