Local co-op is being patched into the game July 5th
Gonna finally play this.
Good thing I pre ordered it
"Alienation, Housemarque’s twin-stick co-op loot shooter, is due for a massive update on July 5. The new update, adds, among other things, local co-op for up to four players on the same screen.
You’ll have to fight over loot, though, as it’s not instanced. The main game will also be getting two new difficulty levels in Expert and Master, as well as new Hero levels. The Akrship mode is being updated as well to include new rooms, harder enemies, and better loot.
Another big part of the patch is the introduction of Leagues, which consist of five ranks. Each league cycle goes on for a week and allows you to climb leaderboards and unlock additional bullet colours."
