How co-op works

Local co-op allows a second player to control party members during turn-based battles, coordinating timing attacks and shared action resources while one player navigates the world and story sequences.

About this game

Battles unfold through turn-based combat where timing and coordination matter. Players execute timed hits to boost damage, break enemy locks by matching attack types, and manage a shared resource pool for spells and special moves. Local co-op lets a second player take direct control of party members, requiring communication to synchronize combo attacks and defensive choices in real time.

Progression weaves combat growth with exploration across diverse regions, puzzle-solving, and character-driven narrative moments. The cooperative structure suits players who enjoy coordinating strategy without pressure from real-time action, making each encounter a tactical conversation rather than a reflex test.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does co-op work in Sea of Stars?

A second player can join locally and take direct control of party members during turn-based battles. You'll need to communicate and coordinate your actions-timing combo attacks together, matching attack types to break enemy locks, and managing a shared resource pool for spells and special moves.

Can I play the entire game in co-op?

Co-op is available during combat encounters where the second player controls party members in battle. The adventure, exploration, and story progression are handled by the first player, so co-op focuses on the tactical turn-based fights rather than the full journey.

Is Sea of Stars online co-op or local only?

Co-op is local, designed for shared-screen or split-screen play on the same system. Steam Remote Play Together is supported, which allows you to stream the game to a friend online, but the core co-op mode is built for couch play.
