How co-op works
Up to sixteen online or LAN players combine four classes—Explorer, Attacker, Enhancer, and Healer—to clear enemy waves and area bosses. Random items alter each run, while the group stays together, covers class functions, and revives fallen farmers before the final fight.
About this game
Ikki Unite brings back SUNSOFT's legendary 1985 arcade game as a multiplayer roguelite where up to 16 players storm the battlefield together. What was once a notoriously difficult solo experience now thrives as true cooperative chaos. Teams of farmers rise up against oppressive forces in feudal Japan, wielding nothing but sickles and sheer numbers.

Each run throws randomly generated waves of enemies at your united mob. Players must coordinate attacks, revive fallen teammates, and manage the constant flow of threats across the screen. The fun comes from the shared absurdity: sixteen people yelling directions, rushing bosses together, and turning a famously tough game into a cooperative riot.
Ikki Unite supports online co-op, LAN play, and cross-platform multiplayer. Sessions scale from small squads to full 16-player uprisings, and every run demands constant communication. Whether you're organizing flanking maneuvers or just shouting for backup, the teamwork pressure keeps every match lively and unpredictable.
