Today I'm very excited to bring you our largest and longest in development update yet! This update is all about Jolly Co-operation as we've finally completed the much requested Co-Op multiplayer option while also improving and polishing our multiplayer versus mode and other multiplayer features.

Co-operative Multiplayer

Players must work together to gather souls and acquire blessings in order to defeat the Holy Champions. The gods will offer the same blessings to players at a particular altar however if another player takes a particular blessing it will not be removed from the blessings on offer from the god. This is because the Gods can bestow infinite blessings and are not limited by mortals choices. Up to 4 players can play together in Co-Operative mode.

The following blessings have been left out of Co-Op for complexity reasons and will be added in a future update: Whirlwind Shot, Stun Shot, Power Lease.

Multiplayer Versus

Multiplayer Versus has finally been reactivated with all the relevant single player blessings included. None of the boss blessings are available in versus mode as none of the players defeat any Holy Champions in this mode and the boss blessings can be quite unbalanced if used against other players. All playable characters are unlocked for all players while we test our multiplayer modes so that the Early Access community can help us balance all these characters. In the final release players will only be able to access characters they have unlocked in single player for multiplayer. Some single player blessings such as Select Next or Divine Intervention which only work with Altars have are not present in Versus mode. Private game functionality has been added to versus mode.
