Cyberpunk action RPG 'RUINER 2' with co-op announced by Reikon Games

Reikon Games are doing a follow-up to the popular RUINER from 2017, with RUINER 2 set to return to the brutal world but this time with optional co-op.

From the Steam page: "RUINER 2 evolves the cult-classic top-down shooter into a deep, systems-driven Action RPG. Return to the industrial hellscapes of Rengkok and the wasteland beyond with unique playable Shells and a combat style defined by your choices. RUINER 2 evolves the fight, not the formula. The opponents are still savage. The crowd still closes in. The only way is still through. Stop killing, and you're dead."

Game Highlights:

• You Are the Hacker - In Rengkok, power is control. You are a hacker who hijacks other heroes, turning them into “puppies” called Shells. Defeat unique bosses, add them to your collection, and put them on your leash.
• Build Your Shell Roster - Every Shell you obtain goes to your Shell Garage. Build your Shell Roster, pick three for solo or two for co-op, and swap between them on the fly. Your roster is your build.
• Utilize Roster Synergies - Every Shell has a role. Master your roster's synergies to trigger cascading damage that no single Shell could pull off alone. The deeper your combinations, the further you can push.
• Hacker Progression - Karma levels your Hacker. Spend it on the Neural Network - a passive tree that shapes your entire roster and defines your build. One tree, endless combinations.
• Shell Progression - Each Shell grows into its own. Four skills, two branching paths each - dozens of nodes that redefine each Shell's playstyle. Mix and match across your roster to create deadly synergies.
• Overload System - Every Shell runs on three resources: Power, CPU, and Memory. Every piece of gear draws from that Shell's pool. Gear up smart — there are no free slots, only trade-offs.
• Limitless Crafting - Every upgrade is a bet. Push further, and the Complexity Factor climbs - bigger reward, real risk. The item can change in ways you didn't plan for. How far you push is your call.
• Endless Endgame - Fight through escalating tiers across Rengkok's darkest districts: stronger enemies, better loot, no ceiling. The only limit is your build.
• Up to Three-Player Co-op - Three players, six Shells, one combined roster. Coordinate your synergies and push challenges together that no single roster could handle alone.
• No Pay-to-Win Rule - Every gameplay advantage is earned. Microtransactions are not affecting gameplay. Your build, your roster, your progression - none of it is for sale.
