How co-op works
Two players tackle the full story locally or online, each directing a squad during simultaneous planning turns on a hex grid. Partners recruit species, trade fighters and gear, coordinate positions and targets, and carry spoils and XP into persistent saves; 2v2 arena combat is separate.
About this game
Pit People drops you into a bizarre post-apocalyptic world where a giant space bear narrates your misfortune. This turn-based strategy adventure from The Behemoth supports both cooperative and competitive play, letting you team up for quests or square off in PvP arenas. The art style is unmistakably Behemoth, full of absurd humor and colorful chaos.

You'll recruit oddball fighters, outfit them with loot, and position your squad carefully in hex-grid battles. Victory depends on reading enemy formations and coordinating attacks with your partner. The unpredictable humor keeps every encounter fresh, and building the perfect team from strange species adds a layer of replayability that rewards experimentation.
You can play online or share a screen locally, with split-screen support for both co-op quests and head-to-head duels. The turn-based pacing makes communication easier than real-time brawlers, though coordinating positioning still demands attention. Whether you're tackling the campaign together or testing your tactics in the arena, sessions balance strategy with the studio's trademark silliness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play the entire campaign in co-op?
Yes, you can play through the campaign cooperatively with a partner either online or locally via split-screen. The turn-based battles let you coordinate your squad positioning and attacks together.
Is this a real-time strategy game or turn-based?
Pit People is turn-based, not real-time. You'll position your squad on hex-grid battlefields and plan your moves carefully, which makes it easier to communicate with your co-op partner compared to frantic real-time games.
Does co-op require good communication and teamwork?
Yes, coordinating fighter positioning and attacks with your partner is central to success. You'll need to discuss formations and target priority to handle enemy squads effectively, though the turn-based pace gives you time to plan together.
