About this game

Dive into the dark and dangerous world of Barotrauma, a cooperative submarine disaster simulator videogame published by Daedalic Entertainment.

Cooperate To Survive

Players control a submarine and its crew as they explore the depths of the hostile foreign moon Europa. The moon is full of danger, and the players must work together to find a way to survive. It will test the player's ability to work together as a team, and they must use their submarine's resources wisely to survive the dangers of the alien ocean.

Do Or Die

The game features a variety of different submarines, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. With permadeath as a constant threat, players must be careful not to make any mistakes that could cost the lives of their crew. Barotrauma is an unforgiving game that will push the players to their limits, a challenging and rewarding experience that is unlike any other.

Everyone Has A Job

From repairing critical systems to fighting off terrifying creatures of the deep, every moment will keep you on the edge of your seat. Take on the role of captain, engineer, mechanic, medic or security officer. With pulse-pounding gameplay and an immersive story, Barotrauma is an experience you won't soon forget.

"Barotrauma is an exciting, cooperative resource management game that is also captivating in Singleplayer thanks to its deep atmosphere."

A must have for co-op fans. Game mechanics/knowledge takes some effort/time to grasp, but once you know what you and your crew are doing it's a blast.

A beautiful, complex and evolved blend in the spirit of SS13. Not the easiest to get into and hard to master, it's very addictive once you get the hang of it. Best recommandation of this game genre.

I wanted to like this game as the theme and art style are appealing to me. Sadly, this game is only intended to be played in multiplayer, despite having a dedicated single player mode. Unfortunately, single player is not in a good technical state, and the AI will not be able to handle the tasks that will ensure your survival. I would also say that from a perspective of casual player, the game lacks options to make it slightly easier, especially in order to learn the mechanics. I'm not saying this is a bad game, it's just clearly not well-made enough at the moment to be enjoyed in single player. If you have a bunch of friends to play with, consider giving it a chance. For single-player oriented players, I would recommend avoiding it.
