How co-op works
Local couch co-op lets two players share the screen or split it, swapping between up to 10 characters whose unique abilities unlock paths and solve environmental puzzles together.

Gameplay centers on character switching and cooperative problem-solving. One player might activate a switch or deploy a gadget while the other clears enemies or navigates hazards. Boss fights demand communication as you read attack patterns, dodge together, and exploit each character's strengths. Shared-screen and split-screen modes keep both players engaged whether you stay close or split up.
Progressively tougher levels introduce new characters and gadgets, rewarding experimentation and replay. The approachable tone and comic-inspired visuals make it welcoming for younger players and families, while the character-swapping depth and coordination keep the action fresh across the campaign.
