The second big DLC has just hit the stores! The main focus of this DLC is a co-op mode for 2 players, where you’ll be able to play with your buddy and overcome the dangers of Thea together!
So, how does it work? Both players start with their own village, not too far from each other, and lead their people autonomously under the banner of one god. Each player has their own Inventory, Experience Points and Research tree unlocks. They can trade supplies and villagers and work together to complete the main game events, but random events can pop-up for each player independently. Turns are played simultaneously and while you can’t jump in to help your friend in a fight, you can resolve your own fights while you wait for your buddy to finish theirs.
Of course the DLC is not only about it. It also includes new stories, art, UI improvements, a new building and of course bugfixes.
So, stay on your toes, it might be a good occasion to introduce your friend to Thea and enjoy its perils together.
* (yes, we are aware that multi technically means anything more than one. But two is more than one and we just couldn’t resist using the MultiPrayer name for this DLC).
