It’s been a while, but publisher HandyGames and developer ITEM42 will finally be releasing their classical mythology-inspired co-op shooter Perish to consoles next month. Originally released for PC on Steam and the Epic Games Store, Perish will arrive on April 15 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, the Xbox One and the Xbox Series. The release will also be accompanied by a limited-time 10% launch discount.
In Perish, players step into the shoes of Amyetri, a corporeal spirit condemned to the shadowy existence of Purgatory. Their mission? To end their suffering by undertaking the Rites of Orpheus and conquering the Chthonic deities blocking the path to Elysium.
As a Deprived Initiate, players start with nothing but a broken sword and must earn danake, the blood-soaked currency of the underworld, to afford better equipment and tackle the formidable Dismal Lords standing in their way. However, great reward comes with great risk, as you must remember to deposit your danake in the Pantheon, as falling to enemies means losing it all.
Luckily, you don’t have to go at it alone. Up to four players can team up in online co-op, utilizing specialized gear and gadgets to support, defend, and revive each other on the treacherous road to eternal oblivion.
