The Elemental War co-op update is now available! With 1.1.0 you’re able to play Classic and Survival Mode together with up to three friends. That was a feature that was requested by some players and now we’re able to release it.

These two modes mostly behave the same as in singleplayer including all singleplayer features like calling waves and controlling the time to speed up, slow down and pause. We just slightly adjusted the gold so you’re not lost due to the split resources.

You can have a look into the gameplay in our Let’s Play:
