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.
Get on Steam"PERISH is a horror shooter game that offers both single-player and multiplayer modes for 1-4 players in a co-op setting. As a condemned spirit, players must fight through hordes of creatures in Purgatory to collect gold-stained corpses and face magnificent bosses, with the goal of reaching Elysium.

Critic Reviews
Perish review -- And back to hell
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 doesn't do much to separate itself from the crowd of 4-player co-op FPS titles, but it does offer a great take on the genre for fans. Just don't go into this one expecting to have a good time on your own.
