Spend your remaining gold with merchants to upgrade your equipment and customize your skills to match your combat style.
• CO-OP ACTION FOR UP TO 4 PLAYERS – Land more and more impressive combos and cooperate with the other members of your team to achieve ultra-satisfying combos. Meet up with your friends in your hideout and determine the best strategy to adopt before setting off on missions, then put it to the test on the field of battle.
