Volition - Give and Take

Volition is a 2-5 player couch coop boss battler. In this souls-like game, the player is confronted with an important decision, give, or take? Each player is allowed to pick one of two unique abilities to use in the boss fight. Depending on their playstyle, offensive ice shards, protective barriers or silencing EMP grenades are all at their disposal. However, the abilities that are not chosen are stolen by the boss and used against the players. The players will have to consciously decide which abilities they want to use, but also which abilities they don't want the boss to use. Not to forget that some abilities might provide powerful synergies or disastrous anti-synergies, both on the player's and the boss' side. The coop factor is emphasized through abilities that unfold their true potential when working together with your teammates, healing and revive mechanisms and a collective win or lose condition: Kill or be killed! The controls closely resemble those of other souls-like games but are a bit more forgiving with their timing windows as is the game’s general difficulty. But do not mistake, one wrong move can cost you (and your friends) the game, and you must start all over again to defeat the evil overlord on his steampunk airship.
