At the moment unless you take a specific joker solo play in this game is very punishing, especially on higher difficulties as if you make a single mistake/get unlucky you instantly go down and that's it, your entire run is over meaning you're more likely to play it safe/passively. So I think it would be nice if when playing solo and you go down there is a way to get back up, whether that be via Roach or some other way, with it functioning in one of these ways:

You get respawns/revives depending upon difficulty - 3 for easy/normal, 2 for hard and very hard, 1 for nightmare (or maybe 2 for hard, 1 for very hard and 0 for nightmare)
or
You can get more respawns via upgrades (maybe part of upgrades to roach that I've seen is a popular suggestion) with the respawns increase either being a permanent upgrade (start with 1 for free, and can buy up to 3 or 5 with souls?) or be one that you have to refill/restock after you use one up (with the cap being 3/5 and also being bought via souls?).

I can see what you're going for, but at the same time, this is a team-play game. Like with the game Helldivers 2, you could play solo, but on the higher difficulties it's just best to play with others if you don't want to be smashed into the ground repeatedly. Was it difficult to find other players?

The game isn’t multiplayer exclusive so I see no reason to be forced into a multiplayer lobby just to complete higher difficulties, that would just be bad game design, especially as someone who struggles with social interaction.

Also in regards to your example of Helldivers (which I have played a bit of) that game has respawns when playing multiplayer and single player, which has allowed me to enjoy and complete the harder difficulties of the game whilst solo.

I could see this game having a Deep Rock Galactic style system where you could get a simple AI helper who will revive you once every so often, call it your "Partner"

Having an extra chance if you are playing alone would be really nice. Just a rescue robot dog that can resurrect you twice seems fair. Maybe add an extra joker that gives you an extra self revive

I'm running into this issue too. I play the game with friends just fine, but I'm getting routinely punished for solo play by dying in boss battles or getting caught without Roach away from extract and getting hopelessly mobbed.

I'm definitely in the minority here, but I really don't have any big issues in solo mode. That's not to say that self-revive would be great tho. I've done solo missions on very hard while still not having fully kitted weapons and only lost my run bc of a dumb mistake I made 20 seconds before extracting.

I think tying a self-revive mechanic somewhere would be great for solo players but I really feel like the game isn't hard enough to the point where you NEED one
