Finally, here’s a bit more on Dark Envoy’s approach to co-op:

How to invite a friend to join your game?

As a host, you have full control over the game and your friend will be a guest, sharing your story progress, characters, and inventory with you.

While in the game, use ESC to enter the pause menu. Select Multiplayer and click Start Session. After a few seconds, a unique invitation code will appear. Copy this code and send it to your friend. To join the session, your friend must be in the main menu of the game. They must select Join Game and paste the code into the pop-up window. If the session creation / join fails, please try again.

Controlling the play

Once your friend joins your game, they are automatically assigned a unit from your party to control. They can manage that unit’s inventory, abilities, and attributes. They can enchant items, trade, and craft new items. The inventory, however, is shared. You can decide which units the guest player controls in the multiplayer menu. Just drag the unit icon to a player in the list to assign the unit to a player.
