How co-op works
Local co-op for two players on the same screen, each piloting a ship through vertical scrolling levels, coordinating fire patterns and rescue pickups to maximize score multipliers and collect upgrade cards.

Each mission tasks players with dodging bullet patterns, destroying ground and air targets, and rescuing stranded pilots. Collecting stars and upgrade cards unlocks ship enhancements like new weapons, magnetic pickup range, and improved armor. Medals and objectives encourage replay, pushing players to complete stages under different constraints or achieve higher scores through chaining kills and maintaining multipliers.
The campaign offers dozens of missions, each with multiple difficulty tiers and medal requirements. Local co-op lets two players share the screen, combining firepower and covering different sections of the playfield. Leaderboards track performance, and the steady drip of upgrades keeps runs feeling fresh as new abilities open tactical options in familiar levels.

How does local co-op work in Sky Force Reloaded?
Two players can team up on the same screen, each piloting their own aircraft through the missions. You'll share the playfield and can coordinate firepower to tackle enemy formations and bosses together. The game supports shared/split screen modes with full controller support for both players.
Do upgrades carry over between missions?
Yes, Sky Force Reloaded features a persistent upgrade system. Stars and upgrade cards you collect during missions unlock permanent ship enhancements like new weapons, magnetic pickup range, and improved armor. These upgrades stay with you and make replaying earlier missions on higher difficulties more manageable.
Can I replay missions for better medals or scores?
Absolutely. Each mission has multiple difficulty tiers and medal requirements that encourage replay. You can tackle stages under different constraints, rescue more pilots, chain kills for higher multipliers, or simply aim for leaderboard positions with your improved loadout.
Is communication important when playing co-op?
Yes, coordinating with your co-op partner helps a lot. You can split coverage across different sections of the screen, focus fire on tough enemies or bosses, and make sure someone picks up rescued pilots or upgrade cards. Good teamwork makes dodging dense bullet patterns and maximizing score multipliers much easier.
