Aggro Crab and Landfall have announced that their co-op climbing game, PEAK, has sold over 5 million copies. PEAK was released on June 16th. This means that it took almost a month to hit its 5 million goal.
PEAK has managed to capture the attention of PC gamers from the moment it came out. Right now, it has Very Positive Reviews on Steam, and it’s priced at only 7,49€. And, honestly, I believe its low price is one of the reasons it has managed to sell so well.
PEAK is a co-op climbing game where the slightest mistake can spell your doom. You can play it solo or with a group of friends. If you play in co-op, you will be able to help each other up ledges, or place ropes and climbing spikes to make the way easier for those who come after.
The game right now has 4 biomes, each with its own life-threatening obstacles. As they climb, players will discover a variety of helpful survival items. For instance, you can find energy drinks, climbing spikes, and the mysterious Anti-Rope.
It’s worth noting that yesterday, the devs released a new patch for the game. Update v1.7 re-added the ability to throw items at fruits and beehives to knock them down. It also brought a number of balance tweaks. For instance, Rope Shooters and Anti-Rope Shooters shoot 50% more rope. Rope Spool now has a weight of 1 instead of 0. Anti-Rope Spool and Anti-Rope Shooter now have a weight of -1. Chain Launchers cannot be shot above or below a certain angle past the horizon line.
Patch v1.7 also fixes some bugs. For example, it fixes a problem that prevented users from using backpacks. It also fixes a bug where items in the temporary slot didn’t count toward your weight. Another fix will allow you to light a campfire when a friend joins back into the game.
PEAK is using Unity Engine and appears to have relatively low PC requirements. PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5 clocked at 2.5 GHz with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT. The devs recommend using an Intel Core i5 clocked at 3.0 GHz or an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or an AMD Radeon RX 7600XT.
PEAK became a surprise indie hit. People started talking about how fun it is, and that helped it get popular. It also helped that the game is cheap and got a lot of attention on YouTube and Twitch. Big credit to Landfall for making it a hit so quickly.
Below, you can find the latest trailer for PEAK. This will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from it. So, be sure to watch it.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
