Landfall has recently launched its co-op climbing game, Peak, on PC, and the response has been nothing short of remarkable. Since its release on June 16th, the game has sold over two million copies within just nine days, a testament to its appeal among PC gamers.
Gameplay and Features
Peak offers an exhilarating experience where even the smallest misstep can lead to a fall. Players can choose to embark on this adventure solo or team up with friends. In cooperative mode, players can assist each other by helping to scale ledges or by strategically placing ropes and climbing spikes to ease the journey for others.
The game features four distinct biomes, each presenting unique and perilous challenges. As players ascend, they will encounter various survival items, including energy drinks, climbing spikes, and the enigmatic Anti-Rope, enhancing their climbing experience.
Technical Aspects and Future Updates
The development team is currently addressing some technical issues, including player disconnections. A small update is in the works to improve the game’s performance and stability. However, given that Aggro Crab is a small team, players may need to be patient as they work on these enhancements.
Peak is built on the Unity Engine and boasts relatively modest system requirements. To run the game, players will need at least an Intel Core i5 processor clocked at 2.5 GHz, 8GB of RAM, and either an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT. For optimal performance, the developers recommend an Intel Core i5 at 3.0 GHz or an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU, along with 16GB of RAM and a more powerful graphics card such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 7600XT.
Community Response
Surprisingly, Peak has emerged as an indie sensation, largely fueled by word-of-mouth and its affordable price point of just €7.49. The game has garnered significant attention on platforms like YouTube and Twitch, further propelling its popularity. Kudos to Landfall for achieving such swift success in the gaming landscape.
