From Arc Games:

From X-COM creator Julian Gollop and the Snapshot Games team, the developers behind Phoenix Point and Chaos Reborn, comes Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids, an action-strategy game that combines the enthralling gameplay of a real-time strategy (RTS) game with a third-person action adventure. In Chip ‘n Clawz vs. The Brainioids, players will work together to put a stop to the Brainioid invasion. In this colorful comic book-inspired journey, players can take on the roles of heroes Chip, Clawz, or both characters in cooperative gameplay to gather resources and collectibles, build bases, strengthen hero abilities, command minions and fight alongside them in battle. Complete a series of story campaigns with a variety of challenges and formidable bosses in exhilarating battles, or play team-based multiplayer matches to defeat the Brainioids and save the world!

Combining real-time strategy with action-packed combat, Chip ‘n Clawz invites players to outthink and outfight an invasion of silly brain-in-jar enemies across a vibrant world inspired by Saturday-morning cartoons and old-school comic books.

Chip ‘n Clawz vs. the Brainioids can be played solo or with a friend—online, in split-screen couch co-op, or PvP. Players collect precious Brainium crystals, build bases, and lead armies into battle. The third-person action puts the heroes right in the center of battle, allowing the players to show off their combat skills and upgrade their arsenals, while issuing their armies commands. The game’s blend of action and strategy ensures an equal playing field for both tactical masterminds and newcomers alike. 

This multiplayer-friendly adventure also has a Friend's Pass available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Series X|S, that allow players to enjoy online co-op and PvP multiplayer for free with a friend who owns the game. More details on Friend’s Pass can be found here
