How co-op works
Up to four online players bring persistent heroes into a shared run through procedurally generated floors. Distinct classes coordinate damage, healing, and crowd control against traps and hordes, while retained experience and collected resources improve heroes and town buildings between attempts.
About this game
Heroes of Hammerwatch is a rogue-lite action-adventure that blends dungeon crawling with persistent progression. Each run sends your hero into procedurally generated floors packed with enemies, traps, and treasure, and whether you survive or fall, you carry gold back to town to upgrade buildings, unlock new classes, and strengthen future attempts. The game supports true co-op for up to four players online, letting you tackle the challenge together or venture in alone.

Combat stays fast and melee or ranged depending on your class, while exploration rewards careful corner-checks and coordinated pulls. Loot, keys, and limited-use shrines create meaningful mid-run decisions, and the random layouts ensure no two descents feel identical. Playing with friends adds natural teamwork as you split pulls, share resources, and call out threats in real time.
Online co-op is the core multiplayer mode, supporting up to four heroes per session. Runs encourage communication, especially when managing crowd control or deciding whether to push deeper or bank your gold. The persistent town upgrades give every session tangible momentum, making Heroes of Hammerwatch a strong pick for groups chasing long-term replayability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many players can team up in co-op?
Up to four players can join together in online co-op. You can also play solo if you prefer.
Does progress carry over between runs?
Yes. Gold you collect during runs can be spent in town to upgrade buildings, unlock new classes, and boost stats that persist across all future attempts, even if you die.
Are the dungeons always the same layout?
No. Levels are procedurally generated each run, so enemy placement, traps, and room layouts change every time you descend.
Is voice chat or coordination important for co-op?
It helps. The game rewards communication for splitting enemy pulls, sharing resources like keys, and deciding when to push deeper or retreat with your gold.
Can I play with a controller?
Partially. The game has partial controller support, but some features may still require keyboard and mouse.
