How does the co-op work in this game?

[Anon]

I saw some other thread saying something about having a shared dungeon... but how does that work? It sounds a bit... pointless? I mean, what could you need another player for if there is nothing different about the game? Wouldn't that just be annoying that some other guy may dig out rooms that you were already digging out, so you might end up with more of the same room, or move your units around that you wanted to do something else, or something like that?

Coop is supposed to be played with a friend or someone you can communicate freely, so that you can plan where each player is going to focus on. A fun way to tackle harder difficulties I guess.

So nothing is being split up, everything is shared?

yes

Can you see the other player moving their own hand around or how is it indicated what he does and what he has selected?

Yeah I remember a dev saying you can indeed see the other player's hand floating around and doing his thing (haven't tried coop yet).

Hi everybody.
Just an update:
Yes, in coop you will see two hands in the dungeons, also doing whatever their owner wants them to do.
So the cooperative work can be productive, or not, as we are still evil, right?
Just imagine one room being build by one player and destroyed right after by the other player. All this and much more is possible.

What about on the overworld, do you see what units the other player has selected? Just so you don't move around the same units accidentally.

This doesn't really qualify as coop in my opinion.
It's going to be a nuisance more than benefit.
This game already struggles with income.
Imagine what will happen when two people have to share it.

Untill now i feel this game is in no way going to top Dungeons II ;(

Sure graphics are different maybe little bit more polished and less cartoony (which i loved) but the unit design is horrible.
