How co-op works

Up to four local players occupy one screen, each controlling a fighter with distinct secondary weapons, parries, counters, and upgrade paths. They divide enemy groups and extend juggles with assists; collected Soul Orbs trigger temporary Ultimate Armor transformations with stronger attacks and invulnerability.

About this game

Jitsu Squad brings Marvel vs Capcom-style mayhem to the beat 'em up genre, letting up to four players team up for fast-paced, tag-team action. Heroes can swap in and out mid-fight, unleash epic transformations, and combine attacks to crush waves of enemies. The co-op structure keeps everyone engaged as you coordinate tag combos and support each other through increasingly chaotic encounters.

Combat revolves around quick reflexes, juggle combos, and smart use of special moves. Players share the same screen, calling in teammates to extend combos or cover a bad situation. The Marvel vs Capcom DNA shows in the flashy supers, air combos, and over-the-top transformations that change how your character fights.

Local couch co-op supports up to four players on one screen, and Steam Remote Play Together opens the door for online sessions. The shared-screen setup means constant communication and a party-game energy, making it a solid pick for game nights where everyone wants to jump in and cause some mayhem together.
