How does this not have multiplayer?

[12tornado]

Some of the gameplay looks interesting, along with the cool looking graphics. It just makes me wonder why such a game would have no multiplayer component...especially for a fighting game. It would have been cool revisiting retro maps from the Transformers series meanwhile fighting against other players.

What's that?

This isn't a fighting game, it's a hack-and-slash action title more akin to Bayonetta, Devil May Cry or Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (none of which had multiplayer as standard).

As for the Witch Time remark, basically whenever you dodge and attack with good timing (evading just before it would hit) you get some bullet time for a few seconds. That wouldn't really work in coop (since you'd throw off each other's rhythm) or in PvP since the other player is basically helpless while it's up.

Adding multiplayer is a big time and resource investment for a company, and I personally would rather they focus on polishing the single player experience rather than pour resources into a hard-to-balance side mode only a minority of people will play.

Would have been a lot of fun to have Co-op with a friend.

i prefer couch co-op its so much better than online because u dont need to rely on internet and also if u have lots of friends close to ur house u get to play on one screen even though itll be split in half
