- 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!
Mike Crewe · May 03, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - 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.
Jackson Lustberg · May 13, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The art style is relatively unique, and there’s an interesting blend of themes and styles going on, so if you’re into this particular blend, that might be enough for you.
William Worrall · Feb 13, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The game has a very straightforward gameplay loop but things get more and more hectic as you progress. Outside of the excellent art direction we absolutely adored the explosive metal soundtrack, which truly gets you in the mood to send some demons back from whence they came. Even with a few bugs present, we can easily recommend this hellish shooter.
Ibuki · Feb 02, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The striking set-pieces, like the twisted Herculean monster, with a cage of heads for a, well… head, crumbling the moon just to beat you, are fantastic, but they’re too few and far between to justify Perish making you start from scratch and slogging through shallow mechanics to reach those exciting moments.
James Troughton · Feb 01, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Perish has the potential to be a decent title in the saturated cooperative first-person shooter space. Unfortunately, its lack of polish prevents it from being a worthwhile consideration. It simply is an inferior version of other more famous titles without offering anything unique.
Marc Torzar · Feb 01, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Perish is a game that can accomplish its objectives but requires a lot more polishing. The game offers a great way for up to four players to enjoy a shooter experience in which you can face off against several hellish creatures cooperatively. While those are definite pluses, the aforementioned issues can take players away from the experience.
Ule Lopez · Feb 01, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Despite it being a tough game to master, and taking quite a bit of time until you really start to feel equipped to get further in, Perish is a solid entry into the roguelike genre, and its FPS elements are easy enough to get to grips with. The controls are tight, and given that the speed of each playthrough is turned up to eleven, you’re learning more with every death.
Chris White · Feb 01, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Perish è un roguelike piuttosto cattivo con il giocatore e anche molto sbilanciato. Punta un po' troppo sul co-op - anche se non c'è quasi mai nessuno - e il progresso ne è troppo dipendente. Riesce a dare soddisfazione, e non poca, quando funziona, ma il concetto di try-and-die è un po' troppo ostentato. Chi vorrà resistere però sarà premiato, le animazioni sono molto buone e anche graficamente è superiore alla media delle produzioni indie.

Trailers & Screenshots:
PERISH is a stylish 1-4 player FPS with a cross to bear. Slay hordes of creatures on the scorched sands of Purgatory and sell their gold-stained corpses to craven priests. Kill magnificent bosses and use the proceeds to gain entrance to Elysium, a place of cosmic revelations.
You are amyetri, a corporeal spirit condemned to live a shadow life in the halfway realm of Purgatory. Bring an end to your suffering by initiating the Rites of Orpheus and defeat the chthonic deities that dominate your fractious path to Elysium.
