How co-op works
Up to four players combine hero-specific blockades, towers, traps, and auras around shared Eternia Crystals, then enter the fight directly. Local split-screen or online teams coordinate defense placement, class roles, and loot-driven upgrades across campaign and survival waves.
About this game
Dungeon Defenders: Awakened fuses tower defense strategy with action RPG combat in a fully cooperative experience. Up to four players team up to build elaborate defenses, then fight alongside their traps and turrets to hold back waves of orcs, demons, and dragons threatening the world of Etheria. Every match blends careful placement of towers with moment-to-moment hack-and-slash combat as enemies pour onto the battlefield.

Players choose from distinct hero classes, each with unique tower types and abilities. Between waves, you upgrade defenses and adjust your loadout while under constant pressure. Success demands both smart tower placement and teamwork in combat, making every session a dynamic mix of planning and frantic action.
Dungeon Defenders: Awakened supports both online co-op and local split-screen play, with Steam Remote Play Together as an additional option. The tower defense and RPG progression systems encourage players to communicate their build strategies and coordinate defensive layers, creating sessions where coordination matters as much as reflexes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many players can team up in Dungeon Defenders: Awakened?
Up to four players can team up together, either online or through local split-screen co-op. You can also use Steam Remote Play Together if you want to play with friends remotely without them owning the game.
Do different heroes play differently, or are they just cosmetic?
Each hero class has unique tower types and abilities, so your choice actually affects your defensive strategy and playstyle. This means coordinating different hero picks with your team can lead to more varied and effective defenses.
Is this more of a tower defense game or an action game?
It's genuinely both. You'll spend time strategically placing and upgrading towers between waves, but then you actively fight alongside your defenses in hack-and-slash combat when enemies attack. Success requires both smart tower placement and combat skills.
How important is communication with teammates?
Communication matters quite a bit. You'll want to coordinate tower placement, discuss build strategies, and work together to cover defensive weak points. The game rewards teams that plan their defensive layers together rather than just placing towers randomly.
