Blood in the Water-Update raises Barotrauma's difficulty-level

Daedalic :

25.04.2024, Earth/Europe, Jupiter/Europa - The notorious co-op hit Barotrauma is one of those games where playing the villain is quite enjoyable. And with the new update even more so: The overarching theme of today’s Blood in the Water-update is that various systems and gameplay-elements get more difficult, and also customizable in many new ways. The game is also on an active 50% discount at Steam. With all the content updates since its release last year, this is now the perfect opportunity to grab your dearest co-op enemies and create some beautiful, nuclear and sinister havoc. Trust us: there will be blood in the water.

But let’s talk about the update itself: Blood in the Water will allow new players to get familiar with the game, while providing added difficulty for veteran players. Besides additional difficulty options, the update adds new content to Barotrauma: Two new monsters, and with them a more aggressive behaviour for all monsters, an event system overhaul, medical system rework and many more. An in-depth list of changes and additions is available on the Barotrauma-Website.

Barotrauma is a 2D co-op submarine simulator set on Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter, featuring survival horror and RPG elements. The game has multiplayer as well as single player capabilities and a very active community with more than 2.5 million people owning the game. Barotrauma is known and loved for the amount of freedom and complexity it grants, especially in its well-balanced, sometimes hilariously chaotic multiplayer mode.
