“Slay hordes of creatures on the black sands of Purgatory and sell their gold-stained corpses to craven priests,” Χάνομαι (ανοίγει σε νέα καρτέλα)‘s description on Steam begins. “Kill magnificent bosses and use the proceeds to gain access to Elysium, a place of cosmic revelations.” Say no more, I’m in.

Every frame of this co-op FPS looks like it could be metal album art⁠—it’s inspired by Greek mythology, but feels extremely fresh. Instead of white marble columns and clean Corinthian helms, everything’s greasier in Perish, its gold color palette conferring a real sickly quality. It’s raining blood in the second area of Perish’s free demo, and my favorite shot of its Steam trailer shows an alien sky with multiple moons beyond a series of floating ruins. This stuff’s rad.

I unlocked a gun pretty quick in the demo, but I just couldn’t put down the starting hatchet weapon. Similar to Fatshark’s offerings, developer Item42’s really nailed the feeling of crunchy, effective melee weapons, and I’m especially jazzed about the infinitely respawning grappling hook javelins and beam-launching khopesh (ανοίγει σε νέα καρτέλα) sword shown off in the trailers.

Perish has set maps with variable objectives, a setup similar to other co-op shooters. You can accumulate gold to unlock permanently available weapons and modifiers for your character, as well as earn randomized temporary bonuses as you complete the stages of a mission. One stage had me chasing down a slippery target before holding down an objective for time, while another required me to trade in my hatchet for a slow-swinging torch and burn down a temple.

The objectives are fun and distinct enough from one another, and I was having plenty of fun tackling Perish’s demo solo. If you’re luckier than me and have friends who δεν είναι adults with jobs and no time for co-op indie shooters, all the better⁠—Perish seems like a real winner for two to four player co-op. Perish will release in full this Thursday, February 2, and until then you can check out its demo and wishlist the game on Ατμός (ανοίγει σε νέα καρτέλα).

Οι προγραμματιστές από το The Simpsons Hit & Run λένε ότι το παιχνίδι θα μπορούσε να έχει τέσσερις συνέχειες, αλλά ο εκδότης είπε όχι: «Τα αστέρια [ήταν] ευθυγραμμισμένα… και μετά ήταν απλώς: ε, υποθέτω ότι δεν [τα κάνουμε]».
