Handler notes

Tested and working with latest legit Steam version as of 27/2/2024.
Split-screen setup guide.
Make sure you unlocked the co-op challenge mode maps by playing the campaign. Start a co-op map in one instance and join in the other. Load a different save slot per instance then go back to the main menu so each instance has a different save.
If you use keyboards and mice after all the instances have launched, resized and positioned correctly, press the END key once to lock the input for all instances to have their own working cursor and keyboard. You need to left click each mouse to make the emulated cursors appear after locking the input. Press the END key again to unlock the input when you finish playing. You can also use CTRL+Q to close Nucleus and all its instances when the input is unlocked.

About Achilles: Legends Untold

Achilles: Legends Untold is an isometric action RPG that draws inspiration from soulslike and hack & slash genres. However, compared to them, the title by Polish studio Dark Point Games has a much lower level of entry. The creators wanted to make a game that would be more accessible to beginners, who are just starting their adventure with this type of gameplay. It doesn’t mean, however, that Achilles: Legends Untold is a title aimed only at newcomers, because it is filled with optional challenging missions, which will certainly also satisfy experienced players.
