How exactly does the co-op gameplay work?

[noxteryn]

Hello!

I'm interested in buying this game, but I haven't been able to figure out how the online co-op works. From what I've read, it's basically a tower-defense game where you have a base and protect it against zombies. In co-op, do many players protect the same base or does each player have their own base? Is there co-op free-roam or do you only do missions together? Could someone please explain the general experience to me?

Thank you very much in advance!

There is only a team mode for tower defense. That’s it. Most of the game is actually single

You might want to be careful buying this game for Co-Op. You need 4 players total to start a game, and matchmaking is absolutely empty.

Um you could solo easy/normals ones,full room is not needed to start a game
There's just one tower to protect, you could bring turrets/barricades to help defending
But there's another game mode,where you carry NPCs back to tower and protect them from enemies in your way

In co-op you have 2 game modes as of now, one of them is salvage in which you have to defend the wormhole digger until it opens a wormhole to get the rewards and the other is rescue where you rescue the targets. Salvage is much more calmer while rescue can be very action packed. To play co-op you will first need to partially/completely finish the single player aspect of the game, which serves as a long tutorial to how to play said missions. Matchmaking is bad because people don't use it, they group up privately instead, you can find players all over the threads looking for groups so it's super easy to find someone that plays.

Dont trust those sick non owners, their answers are not right or blatantly lies.

You have two modes, not one, salvage (tower defense) and rescue missions.

Its also false you cant start missions alone, of course you can and you can solo many up to normal diff with np.

Also you'll never need full group, you can complete most with one or two mates.

Those missions are aplit into many difficulties and daily versions, which is cool but adding the different servers makes matchmaking slow until you can queue for the hardest missions.

In discord ive managed to make many full parties with easy.

You can play coop much before you finish the game, ive played like 20h of coop before finishing it. But once you finish the game you unlock subclasses which add to the coop progression.
