PERISH

Apr 26, 2024

I would hate to discourage you from buying Perish because of the online community, or obvious lack thereof. It is an enjoyable, although slightly repetitive shooter that doesn’t rely on other players, but it definitely elevates the experience. Maybe if enough of us jump in, we can garner enough support to possibly get the folks at ITEM42 to sacrifice some virgins, goats, and grasshoppers to the gods over at Sony, Microsoft, and Valve to get everyone on the same page. 8 out of 10 Pros - Solid Gunplay - Outstanding Visuals - An Addictive Heavy Metal Soundtrack - Loads of Unlockable Items - Great Risk vs Reward Gameplay Cons - Some Levels Get Repetitive Early - Lack of Crossplay Support - Some Wonky Enemy Models - Can Only Carry One Weapon at a Time Perish was developed by ITEM42 and published by HandyGames, a subsidiary of THQ Nordic.

Perish is a solid FPS roguelike with tons of replayability, often giving off a DOOM-vibe that pushes you to the limits of your own sanity.

A fun, if basic, roguelike, PERISH is flashy, gory, and great with friends. Some performance issues hinder the overall enjoyment, but this is still an enjoyable romp through purgatory!

Overall, Perish is a game that achieves conceptual brilliance and incorporates it down to the finest detail in many areas. Unfortunately, it stumbles when it comes to the execution. Some poor gameplay decisions hold it back, notably enemy design and spawn rates. It’s entirely possible that with future updates, the game will heal its scars, but for now, they run deep, blemishing the gameplay; yet, the aesthetics remain immaculate.

Perish offers a great world to explore and a surprising amount of graphical prowess for an indie roguelike. The setting is intriguing and the combat varied and engaging enough. The game stumbles with framerate drops and a gameplay loop that may not have been finetuned to perfection, though if you have a crew to play with, Perish still offers a good amount of fun that’s worth your time.

You’ll find the most fun of PERISH in co-op, having a blast with a few friends. It’s that which will make the gameplay loop more enjoyable, the challenge more satisfying, and the roguelite elements much more fun overall. The story is fine, the music and visuals are good without being amazing, but tackle PERISH alone and you’ll find it just too repetitive, too tricky with multiple enemies attacking you in swarms.
