Witchspire, the co-op survival crafting game set at Thornveil Academy, allows players to explore its world together on broomsticks, catch creatures, and brew potions. The game is currently available exclusively on Steam, meaning all multiplayer invitations are handled through the platform.
To initiate a co-op session, players must first create a world and set its parameters, followed by creating a character and completing the initial tutorial. Once this is done, the host can open their Steam friends list, right-click on the desired friend, and select 'Invite to Game.' Invited players will then need to create their own characters and finish the tutorial before they can join the host.
Within Witchspire's co-op mode, story progress is shared among all participants. If the host has advanced the main questline, any players who join later will be on the same quest regardless of their individual progress. This could mean that later joiners might need to engage in some experience point farming to catch up to the host's progression.
Co-op gameplay in Witchspire largely mirrors the solo experience. Both the host and invited players can advance quests, utilize crafting stations like the Workbench and Furnace, and engage in building activities. The game also supports simultaneous exploration of different map areas without issue. Any Luminary Points collected or chests opened are server-sided, meaning that once a chest is looted by one player, it will be empty for others. Players are encouraged to loot chests together or distribute any findings appropriately.
Witchspire is available on Steam. Further details on the game, such as tips and tricks, obtaining Gold Ingots, and locating all Familiar types, are also available.
