Originally launched for the PC earlier this year, developer ITEM42 and publisher HandyGames’ classical mythology-inspired co-op shooter Perish will finally be seeing a console release. While no release date was announced, Perish will be coming to the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series and Xbox One.
Perish is a four-player FPS that puts you as amyetri, a corporeal spirit condemned to live a shadow life in the halfway realm of Purgatory. In order to escape Purgatory and enter Elysium, you must slay hordes of creatures inspired by ancient Greek, Roman, and Christian mythologies, selling their gold-stained corpses to craven priests.
Obviously, this is no easy task. If you die at the hands of these creatures, you’ll be forced to lose precious gold and begin again. On the other hand, you’ll be selling the corpses of these creatures in exchange for increasingly powerful melee weapons and firearms. Each weapon will have its own unique and upgradeable offensive capabilities.
And seeing as you’ll be able to team up with three other friends, you can also make use of co-op specific gear and gadgetry to support, defend and revive each other on your perilous path towards eternal oblivion.
Perish is available now on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG.
