Screenshots

Four androids on one couch

Up to four of you can play the whole campaign together locally, with keyboard or joypads, and drop-in co-op friends just pick an unlocked android and start shooting. Each of the nine heroines has her own main and secondary weapons, so one of you can sweep crowds while another snipes or lays traps. You share pickups and the draining battery that replaces lives, which means staying aggressive and picking each other up keeps the run alive. You trade revives, steal kills, and argue over who grabbed the power-up.

Battery life instead of lives

There are no lives here. Your battery drains the whole time, and killing robots tops it back up. Getting knocked down makes it drain faster until someone revives you or you mash back up, so the team that keeps moving and keeps shooting survives. Across 25 stages in five ship areas, plus remixed Campaign+ stages, arenas shift shape, conveyors flip, and giant bosses fill the screen with bullets. Extra modes like Infinity Drive for endurance and a daily challenge, plus unlockable EX options and codex entries, give co-op friends a reason to run it back.

Good to know before you team up?

Can you play it solo or with fewer than four?

Yes. It supports one to four players locally, so you can run the campaign alone, duo it, or fill the screen with four androids. Solo play is the same arena shooting and battery system, just without someone to revive you.

How does reviving work in co-op?

When an android goes down, the battery drains faster until they get back in. Teammates can help cover them while they recover, which makes positioning matter: clear space first, then get your partner up before the charge runs out.

What do you do besides the main campaign?

Campaign+ remixes the stages for a fresh run, Infinity Drive tests how long your team can survive, and the Daily Drive gives you one shared challenge to compare against others. Unlockable EX options, codex entries, and artwork reward wrecking more robots.
