In the horde shooter Perish (PC), which will be released on Steam in a few weeks, you fight in 4-player co-op against monsters from purgatory. On MeinMMO you can find out what the game is about and what it offers you.
What kind of game is this? Perish is a horde shooter from the indie developer ITEM42 in which you fight cooperatively with up to four players against creatures from purgatory.
You embody a so-called “Amyetri” in the action-packed title. These are corporeal spirits doomed to spend their lives in purgatory.
In order to finally gain access to Elysium, the last “resting place of the worthiest souls” and a “place of cosmic revelations”, you must complete 12 tasks from mysterious priests and defeat various bosses.
In addition, Perish has roguelite elements. That means: If you die while solving a task, according to the developer, you will be revived at the place where you started the task and then have to complete it again (via perishgame.com).
Perish release still 2023
What do we know about the release? Perish will be released later this year on February 2nd, 2023 for PC on Steam, GOG.com and the Epic Games Store.
