Four-player campaign chaos
The campaign is built for splitting the work and sharing the mess. Up to four of you move through steel bases and alien halls together, blasting chaos-spawned creatures with an arsenal of over-the-top weapons while a metal soundtrack shifts gears with the fighting.
Death is forgiving here, since fallen enemies stay dead when you come back. That keeps rounds social and straightforward: grab a weapon that suits you, cover a doorway, mop up what your co-op friends missed. Expect walls painted red, thanks to a dismemberment system that takes body parts based on where you shoot.
Versus modes and endless maps
When cooperation turns competitive, Prodeus switches to classic versus play for up to 16 players. Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, CTF and more cover the usual ways to settle scores, and you can create and share custom game modes too.
The supply of arenas never really runs out. A built-in browser serves up community-created maps for instant play, and the level editor is powerful but easy to use if your group wants to build its own kill box. Retro pixel enemies, modern particle effects and heavy lighting keep it loud and readable even when the whole lobby fires at once.
What else should you know?
Can you play the campaign in co-op?
Yes. The full hand-crafted campaign supports 4-player co-op, so you can clear missions together rather than taking turns. Progress uses ore you find in levels to unlock extra weapons and upgrades in a shop area.
What versus modes are included?
Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, CTF and more, with support for up to 16 players. You can also make custom game modes and share them, which is handy when your group wants its own rules.
Do you get new levels after the campaign?
Yes. A built-in community map browser gives you nearly limitless player-made levels to load straight from the game. If you like building, the integrated level editor lets you design maps from scratch.
