![]() ![]() ![]() There are even mods to make all your crew members into anime girls (which, of course, I downloaded without any hesitation whatsoever), mods that make it harder to treat wounded crewmates, and modded ships taken straight out of Neon Genesis Evangelion. These range from new submarines to campaign and port overhauls to campaign difficulty overhauls that make the game system more complex. Ever since Barotrauma added Steam Workshop compatibility, you can access hundreds of mods made by the game’s dedicated fanbase. High Moddability and Robust Modding SceneĪfter a while, you might get bored of seeing the same submarines or wrecks or ports or monsters, or even player avatars. I thought a fire had broken out in our engine room, so I grabbed a fire extinguisher and began spraying it until the rest of my crewmates restrained me. All the while, grungy industrial music composed of bangs on metallic surfaces and sonar sounds play in the background.Įven though Barotrauma is a 2D game, it does its best to be as immersive as possible, with screen effects, directional sound, and status ailments affecting gameplay and your perception of reality. Such is the reality of living under the sea to avoid Jovian radiation. Whenever you reach a dock, you will feel cramped with its short hallways and endless ladders. That’s if the monsters haven’t made it into the submarine first. There’s little reason to trust your crewmates, who all have the means to kill you as fast as possible. You will hear the darkness creeping through the walls, or the sounds of the sonar ringing through an endless void. From the fast Crawlers that roam the seas in packs, to the hulking Molochs, to the insanity-driving Watchers, you will never be safe outside your sub.īut even inside your sub, there is barely any respite. The waters of Europa are a dark and foreboding place, where you can never see more than a few feet ahead of you and many monsters await in the shadows. Whether you’re a casual player or a serious role-player, Barotrauma has a lot in store for those playing on the internet with friends.

In my case, I was mostly the faithful mechanic who did his job without fail. ![]() In between all this, however, you can experience so many stories just by playing with other people. If not, then the submarine sinks into the bottom of the abyss. You probably can’t, but any captain worth his salt will figure out a way to put his crew to heel somehow. Now put random people into these roles, give them access to firearms and explosives, and try to maintain any sort of cohesion. A captain can steer the ship, but he needs an engineer to maintain the reactor and electronics, a mechanic to maintain the machines, a security officer to man the guns and keep order, a medic to look after the wounded, and multiple assistants to do random work on the ship. The greatest thing about playing Barotrauma is how fun it can be to play with friends. Complex and Thrilling Multiplayer Gameplay ![]()
