Online co-op DLC for EA's fiery action adventure

Dante’s Inferno is out and selling, so why am I sitting on this nice leather sofa playing this? Because EA/Visceral Games has given you the POWER! The power to edit, to create, to manipulate this Hack and Slash fest into our own.. our own.. our own… IDIOM! (fairwell, sweet Concorde) And then to share the experience with others. The thing is though, it’s not in the Caribbean at all. St. Lucia is “Patron Saint of the Blind”. Apparently. I’ll tell you what she really is: Double Hard. With wing’s. Flying hard. Don’t mess. She is of course also, a second character to play, in Co-Op. That gets our vote. Saturday night hack and slash fest with your mates. Bring it on St Lucia, and bring your mates. Even the one with the gammy leg.

The game allows us to choose an environment for our battle, to choose the monsters, their strength’s, their sheer quantity, and to set traps (some amazing variations here) to adjust the damage dealt, to friend or foe that fall upon them. We can change their timing / frequency and our favourite thing: to choose the waves of monsters. Wave after wave of easy meat? Or a chain linked series of consecutively harder and harder? You choose the scenario too, to just survive, or be timed, to kill the boss rapidly etc.
