Co-op roguelike first-person shooter PERISH launches February 2, 2023 for PC
Embark on a perilous journey of grit and redemption through Purgatory.
Mythology-inspired first-person cooperative shooter PERISH will launch for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG on February 2, 2023, publisher HandyGames and developer ITEM42 announced.
“Combining classical mythology and first-person shooting, with multiplayer and roguelike elements forced us to push a lot of boundaries during PERISH development,” said ITEM42 co-founder Regan Ware in a press release. “While we are saddened it will no longer be released on Google Stadia, players will be able to access our game from an amazing store lineup including Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.”
Here is an overview of the game, via HandyGames:
About
There is no way back and only one way forward. Enter blood-soaked underworlds inspired by ancient mythologies, all accompanied by a death-metal soundtrack. Face ceaseless battles on the perilous path to Elysium. Stave off a barbarous fate and slay hordes of infernal creatures on the black sands of Purgatory.
Sell their corpses to a glorious priestess in exchange for increasingly powerful melee weapons and firearms. Overwhelm abominable bosses and use the spoils of war to gain entrance to Elysium, where death and gold await thee.
The same lust for gold that motivates your own craving consumes the revenant creatures within Purgatory. Succumb to these dark souls and be forced to lose precious wealth and begin again. Muster up to three friends and reap the tides of merciless hordes together. Deploy cooperative-specific gear to support.
