Is The Binding of Isaac: Repentance offline co-op?

[Tony Soprano]

Is it?

[Zero Grim]

There are two co-op systems both of which are offline inherently but you can use steams remote play feature to play with people online.

The new co-op is true multiplayer co-op and is done by joining the game with a second controller (or keyboard if controller is the primary player) BEFORE leaving the first room.

If anyone joins after the first room has been left it will default those players to the old system.

You can have both new and old co-op systems working at the same time.

Thanks, the DLC page doesn't list multiplayer co-op as a feature for some reason.

What is the difference between new and old modes?

the new system is each player gets to play as a separate character, you have your own life totals and have to share item drops between yourselves, if anyone dies they get revived with minimal health when the boss is defeated on that floor.

the old system is a drop-in drop-out system that allows any player to take hearts from the main player in order to play as a mini baby that has a copy of the main players items.
