Playing it together
Best with 2 or 3 friends; solo play is a much harder grind
Pros
- Works for couch co-op on one screen or online with friends
- Talking through each move together makes the fights fun
- Groups can split the party up or stick together
Cons
- Feels much weaker alone, so it needs at least one friend
- A wiped party ends the run, so a bad night loses progress
- Dice luck can wipe out a party no matter how well you play
