If there's a downside to Chaos Squad it's that it doesn't seem to scale very well. The more points you earn the more things you have a chance to unlock which includes character customization elements and weapon amps that you can bring back to single player. Once it's all over you're team is ranked on just how well they did, earning multipliers for each mini-game and sub objective and finally the Night Defense mission itself. Each player can lay out their own traps to protect the vats from their own pool of resources earned from the mini-games. It's a cacophony of color and light that hasn't been seen since a holiday rave. Hundreds of OD of all shapes and sizes enter into those final battles and the game doesn't stutter or slow down.


In fact, Chaos Squad is aptly named for what occurs during it - absolute chaos. Players have free roam of the section of the city to complete the challenges so the traversal elements are still present here.Īfter a few mini games it's onto Night Defense which is scaled out for more players compared to its single player counterpart, and also a lot more chaotic. Each one should take four to five minutes to complete and then it's on to vote for the next one. There's a good variety of mini-games to play with friends too - defense missions, action sequences where you'll need to kill with style, collection missions, and bombing missions. Players vote on which one they'd like to play based on the bonuses it provides to the end game which includes a more difficult survival and more power for your traps. Once in, the eight player co-op match begins with players choose between two mini-games. Hit one up, start matchmaking and continue to play the campaign until a game is ready. While you won't be playing any of the main story in co-op friends, you can launch into the Sunset Overdrive's co-op mode called "Chaos Squad" at any time by visiting phone booths littered around the map.
