Is this game single player? Or do you have to play coop with others?

I am looking at getting this game but I’m curious if I need to play with others or can I play it solo

I was told you can play solo, but you have to min/max to beat certain bosses in the game.

I just bought the game to play with my friends. They play on Xbox. How stupid of me to assume crossplay. Probably should have googled it. Oh well, hope the game is fun.

Couldn't even do crypt boss lady everydeen solo. game is trash.

It can indeed be done solo.
You need to do good gear management though... melee toons seem to have a hard time with some of the bosses.
IMO, the Cleric is one of the more powerful ones due to having both a dmg shield and a self- heal.

So, everything is a gear check, try to stay ranged at all times, some bosses can be tricked with ranged so you can hit them through the door via AOEs, and destroy and pick up everything (sell, salvage, or use...you will need it all).

Did this game get any updates? The last post from the devs on the steam page is from January 2024

Did the whole game solo on normal from start to finish. One boss was pretty rough, mind you.

Note that some classes are just straight-up better than others, though.

I soloed the first level as a Mage (going in blind). Had to look up the strat for the bonfire boss as I was kiting him around the outside of the arena (down the steps) and he kept healing (but Lady Evergreen was obvious).

Most fights were a bit drawn out as I had to roll around a lot waiting for my heal to come off cooldown (even sometimes with normal enemies and that little rogue).

Tried again as a Champion tonight and it was a complete faceroll including the final boss. Overall DPS was much higher as I could just facetank everything and focus on cycling abilities. Was never in danger of dying.

You can solo the entire game. It just takes time to gear your character up so that you can survive the hardest difficulty.

I stopped playing because it was tough but thats on me, it can be soloed but I was too cavalier and didnt pick the best gear so I was at a disadvantage when getting to the boss, I may have to back track and build up more.

Its an amazing game and there are not enough of the old school party up adventure games, DDO is about the only other game that had the same item management and chase cam style that I like, to many top down PoE/diablo type games, although Undecembered and Grim Dawn to scratch an itch for me.

I will pick this up again but I jumped over to Conan for a bit and went away from the game. Might be time to run it again and have another crack at it.
