Â Five distinct hero classes are available for players to choose from as they hack and slash their way to victory. Of course, players do not need to go through this battle alone. Players can choose to team up with three other players in multiplayer co-op. Furthermore, players are able to fully customize their hero, from their abilities to skills, appearance, and more.Â
Importantly, players can get a look at the game in the new gameplay overview. The trailer shows off the pixel-art style of the game, as well as, the action of the game. Check it out below.Â
