This game has spectacularly fun co-op play. Each character plays completely differently and the game has mechanics including shields and enemy targeting systems that force all players to work together and communicate. The player characters and enemies are fun and humorous and the combat is very enjoyable. Leveling up and unlockable upgrades round out a very enjoyable experience. This game is criminally underrated and unknown.

Grab a guide if you want to get full completion (you should, the last boss is good) because its secrets are very convoluted at times. Unless you're smarter than me or want to give yourself a big challenge.

This game was truly excellent. Played through the whole game in 2P local co-op and just loved all of it. The beat em up gameplay is fantastic, the music is excellent, the story is solid with charming characters, the visuals are pretty nice. I really like the variety the characters have, both between each other and between their own different equipment, and I like how the game rewards changing characters and gear up every now and then with its mastery system.

Now, the thing with this game is that there's also an extra layer to it that I greatly enjoyed but I wasn't expecting from a beat em up: puzzles. The game has dozens of very cleverly done puzzles that require you to think outside the box to solve, and they reward you with more story and gameplay, culminating with the true ending. Figuring out the puzzles together with my co-op partner was as fun, if not even more so, than the game's fantastic beat em up core gameplay. Plus the puzzles just provide a nice break and change of pace. You really aren't getting the most out of the game if you decide to not engage with the puzzles.

So yeah, just an excellent co-op beat em up/puzzle game. Very few flaws to me, such as some fights just being a bit of a cluster fuck with how much is going on at once.
