Barotrauma – A Survival Horror Game Set in a Submarine – Now Available on Steam
Barotrauma, a thrilling survival horror game set in a submarine, has recently opened its doors to the gaming community on Steam, marking its official launch of version 1.0 in 2023. For those unfamiliar, Barotrauma is a multiplayer simulation game where players explore the depths of alien planets aboard submarines. The game is known for its unique gameplay mechanics, combining survival horror elements with the challenges of navigating underwater environments.
Exciting Updates: “Calm Before the Storm” Expansion
Importantly, Barotrauma has recently undergone a significant update with the release of the expansion titled “Calm Before the Storm.” This update introduces a wealth of new content, including a range of new environments and gameplay mechanics set across three new biomes beneath the waves. Additionally, a dedicated mode for PvP battles has been added, enhancing the overall experience. Currently, Barotrauma is available for free on Steam during this weekend’s event.
Moreover, for those interested in diving into the game, players can purchase Barotrauma at a 50% discount until April 26, making it an enticing offer at just around 200,000 VND.
However, even before this latest update, Barotrauma has been known for its terrifying moments, often described as “horror beneath the waves.” In addition to using resources wisely, players can experience intense encounters with both creatures and other players in a submarine setting. Notably, Barotrauma features a “crew member betrayal” mechanic, allowing players to secretly sabotage their teammates. Each time a crew member betrays others in Barotrauma, it adds an extra layer of tension and suspense to the gameplay.
In related news, developer FakeFish has unveiled a new survival game project called Frostrail. This time, the submarine environment will be replaced by a steel ship set in a dieselpunk atmosphere, with 2D graphics that offer an FPS-style perspective. However, Frostrail is not expected to launch until next year, so this weekend’s free event is a fantastic opportunity to experience the chilling underwater ambiance and intense gameplay that Barotrauma offers.
