3 hours in, my first thought "Looks cool; this could be a good game". Now that I've tried it in Co-op, everything came crashing down.

Why?

I'll tell you. The tutorial boss, which is supposed to be very hard to beat, got killed by my Co-op partner thanks to a bug that made him un-targetable, meaning he could just take every hit without actually getting hit. What caused this to happen we have no idea, but it stopped once he switched weapons.

The next problem with Co-op is that the game kinda forces you to play through the game twice, this is because your co-op partner does not share in your game and item progress not counting the occasional item drop from the monsters. This is kind of a let down I must say, because it removes the fun aspect of exploring making it more tedious instead of being fun and exciting.

The next problem we found out is that the boss fights is not really optimized for co-op gameplay, since co-op more or less bugs out every boss encounter. For example, the boss can occasionally target your dead friend and stay glued to that for the rest of the fight, making it a very boring fight.

These are just a few things that do not make the game worth playing co-op, especially not at this price tag.

I hope developers will address these issues with the game, otherwise the game will lead to ruin.

Gameplay is ok solo :)

Sadly, if you want to play together from the start, we still need to clear everything for the other party as well for him to get his upgrades, otherwise, he will fall behind in items and upgrades for his weapons, armor, and skills. This is where your design becomes flawed.

It does not make much sense to give items only from drops when some items gained from using the lantern are much-needed upgrades as well :/. It is better to make it shared progress entirely instead of just partially.

Uninterrupted co-op is a great idea, but it's not as fun when you still need to reclear everything again for your friend for him to get the same items you just looted 1 hour ago, that he/she could have gotten then and there.

An online feature would have made this game SO MUCH BETTER!!

So far all I've been is disapointed, this game is far from complete, from what had been merchandised I was expecting this game to ONLINE and not 1 player only.. I will never discover this entire galaxy alone, there's simply no fun in that.
