The three other space marines who fight alongside you are currently AI-powered, but online co-op is planned. If Relic is successful, their RPG-lite Space Marine effort will fill the four-player vacuum that Silicon Knights infamously failed to deliver with Too Human. There's less focus on rare drops and swathes of enemies here though: each kill is delivered through a careful combination of face-button melée attacks and shoulder-button ranged hits, giving the humanoid bruisers a slight Devil May Cry quality (but only slight crazy acrobatics are off the menu). With a jetpack strapped to your back you'll even be able to hurtle around levels and clatter into groups of Orks to knock them flying.
