How co-op works
Three-player online co-op campaign where each Capital Intellect brings unique abilities, requiring coordinated loadouts and tactical positioning to survive waves of autonomous war machines.
About this game
Livelock drops players into a world where machines wage infinite war long after humanity's extinction. As one of three Capital Intellects, synthetic constructs carrying the last fragments of human consciousness, you must fight through hostile automata to unlock Eden and restore the species. The mission demands cooperation, whether you tackle it solo or bring two allies into the fray.

Combat unfolds from a top-down perspective, blending twin-stick shooting with tactical ability cooldowns. Each Capital Intellect fills a distinct role, encouraging teams to combine crowd control, sustained damage, and area denial to handle dense enemy formations. Boss encounters and environmental hazards punish lone-wolf strategies and reward players who coordinate ultimate abilities and revive downed teammates under fire.
Progression ties performance to unlockable weapons and augments that deepen each chassis's specialization. The campaign spans multiple planetary theaters, and the structure supports both single runs and repeated playthroughs to master higher difficulties with a well-practiced squad.
