How co-op works

Up to four local players fight through the story or survival mode on one screen. The team extracts Nekro from convulsing enemies to refill individual syringes, then spends doses to recover or enter a combat frenzy while coordinating weapons and crowd control.

Combat revolves around punching, kicking, and wielding improvised weapons while managing a drug-injection mechanic that heals, boosts attacks, or triggers hallucinogenic effects. Teamwork matters when the screen floods with enemies, and coordinating attacks or reviving fallen allies keeps the adrenaline high. The over-the-top violence and frenetic pacing make every session feel like a shared descent into madness.

Local couch co-op is the star here, with support for single-screen play and Steam Remote Play Together for online sessions. The relentless intensity and constant communication required to survive waves of enemies turn every run into a tense, loud, and memorable group experience.
