Al Reed, studio director of Demiurge, creators of Shoot Many Robots talks to Chris Evans at The Reticule about the upcoming 4 player co-op title.
Al talks about Demiurge's ideas for how to update old school run-and-gun gameplay, the art style of the game along with robot talk.
The Reticule – How will the co-op work, will it be drop-in/out with bots taking places of human players and will there be any single-player modes?
Al Reed – You can play with anywhere from 1-4 players with up to two players on one console. You can drop into one of your friend’s games anytime, but you’ll have to wait for them to finish one of our 4-5 minute missions. Like any good RPG, we wanted to scale the difficulty of each level based on how many players were in there.
The game plays wonderfully single-player and if you don’t have friends online I think folks will have a good time gearing up their character for the next run in a group. We’ve also got really slick matchmaking so if you’re looking for a match with others at anytime you’ll be able to find one!

Love the hyperactive visual stylings.
Oh yes, when I first saw a video for this I immediately fell in love with the visuals, TF2 stylings to the fore in my mind.
