Diablo-like No Relaxation for the Depraved has bought one million copies, and co-op is coming subsequent week

No Relaxation for the Depraved would possibly simply appear to be a painterly tackle Diablo, but it surely’s truly a top-down soulslike—and a reasonably good one at that, based on PC Gamer contributing author Tyler Colp. It appears to be paying off, as developer Moon Studios introduced Thursday that the sport has moved a million copies on Steam in early entry, although it’s about to share at the very least one factor in widespread with Diablo: 4-player co-op.

The co-op announcement comes with a lavish trailer exhibiting the characteristic off, and states it would launch Jan. 22. I have not tried the sport myself but in solo play or in any other case, however seeing a gaggle of heroes tackle an enormous boss collectively actually makes it pop. The sport’s mannequin for co-op, which was detailed in a prolonged explainer video from Moon Studios in Dec. 2025, is “just like how realms work in Minecraft, the one distinction being you do not have to pay for a subscription.”

What meaning is that somewhat than Darkish Souls invasions, Diablo 4’s quasi-MMO open world, or different ARPGs’ multiplayer techniques the place a single participant’s save file is used, No Relaxation for the Depraved will distinguish between persistent multiplayer saves and offline single-player saves. The principle distinction between this and one thing like Baldur’s Gate 3 is you can hop in and make some progress whether or not your pals are on-line or not, even if you happen to did not host the save initially.
