Can Double Helix be played online? How many players does Double Helix support for online play?

The Double Helix is a popular action shooting game in the 2D genre that has been recently under testing, and players who have seen the gameplay demo might have noticed this game, where many scenes involve fighting monsters and bosses. Indeed, this is primarily a PVE (Player vs Environment) game, so can Double Helix be played online? If yes, how many players can it support at most? Let's briefly explain below, and you will understand after reading.

Firstly, it is clear that Double Helix can indeed be played online, supporting up to four players in a team to challenge dungeons together. When clicking on "Challenge Dungeon" from the main menu, players can choose to "Form a Team" and invite friends or use "Matchmaking" to automatically form a team with other players.

In dungeon battles, a team of four can more easily handle high-difficulty Bosses and challenging levels, especially when farming for equipment or acquiring high-level resources, as multiplayer significantly reduces the difficulty of the game. For dungeons that can only be done solo, players can also summon AI teammates through "Imprints" to assist in combat.

Although currently, the AI cannot accept command operations, meaning they simply go to find enemies and attack, sometimes exhibiting somewhat unstable behavior, this system still plays a supplementary role in overall combat and has significant room for future optimization.

Besides online dungeon challenges, the game also features a "Large World" exploration mechanism, where in this mode, players can invite friends into each other's worlds to gather resources and complete tasks together, increasing efficiency. However, it's important to note that some specific items are unique and cannot be obtained repeatedly by entering others' worlds multiple times.

To summarize, Double Helix can be played online, but it is not a traditional MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game). While maintaining the joy of single-player progression, it also offers the possibility for players to explore and challenge together with their friends, making "dungeon clearing + teaming up" the main gameplay content, further enriching the overall gaming experience.
