Revision 1

Romestead is built to be played either as a standalone single-player journey or as a cooperative experience. The world supports one to eight players, and difficulty scales depending on how many players are in the world.

Player Counts

The game is finely tuned for one to four players and scales for groups up to eight. The developer has noted it is balanced for up to eight players but does not stop players from inviting more. Steam lists the game as supporting single-player, online co-op, and LAN co-op.

Specializing in Co-op

Cooperative play is where role specialization shines. While solo players do a bit of everything, a co-op group can divide responsibilities so members focus on fighting, gathering, crafting, farming, automating production, or keeping the settlement growing. Restoring the gods is also a group decision: players choose together which deities to empower. See Gameplay and The Gods and Worship.

Dedicated Servers

Standalone dedicated server software was released alongside the Early Access launch, letting players host their own persistent worlds from day one. The game also supports Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. For getting a group started, see Getting Started.
