Description from IGDB IGDB
Storyline IGDB
Barotrauma takes place several hundred years in the future. In this time, humanity has established several colonies on Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons. Due to the deadly amounts of radiation on the surface of the moon, the colonies are constructed under its icy crust. The vast subsurface ocean under the crust is used as a transport route between the colonies and a source of natural resources. In Barotrauma, the player will step into the boots of a recruit on board a submarine traveling in the subsurface ocean. The player’s job is to keep the submarine operational, while carrying out various tasks to earn funds for buying supplies and hiring new crew members. Maintaining and operating the submarine itself isn’t the only challenge, as the ocean is filled with bizarre creatures ranging from harmless small fish to gigantic horrors more than capable of destroying the entire vessel.
Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA
Barotrauma largely takes place inside submarines submerged beneath Europa's ocean. At the start of each game, players are assigned a job, which may provide them access to specialized traits and equipment. The submarine's crew are given a mission, which may involve hauling cargo from one outpost to another, hunting hostile undersea wildlife, or recovering alien artifacts, among many other tasks. The players are then free to act at their own discretion for the duration of the round, with few, if any, additional objectives provided by the game itself. Outposts positioned at the end of a level serve as areas of downtime that offer different services, depending on their type. These outposts are common in early biomes, but get rarer the further players get in the game, although new stations can appear in empty areas if a nearby beacon station is activated. Barotrauma also contains a faction system, with completed missions increasing or decreasing reputation with relevant factions. The game contains 4 factions in total, with 2 of the factions, the Europa Coalition and the Jovian Separatists, being major factions, and the 2 others, the Children of the Honkmother and the Church of the Husk, being minor. The game has a 2D side-view perspective and features a complex simulation of multiple systems within the submarine, including oxygen levels, power, weapons, and hull integrity. Various hazards will frequently jeopardize the submarine's voyage, such as hostile fauna, pirates, parasite outbreaks, and player-controlled traitors. Player incompetence can also be a source of disaster, as improperly-maintained ship equipment (such as nuclear reactors or oxygen generators) can quickly render the submarine inoperable. Crisis management is a recurrent theme in moment-to-moment gameplay, as players are implicitly encouraged to use their job skills to both avoid and mitigate disaster. In the event that the submarine's hull is damaged, water will begin to flood the vessel, which damages submarine structures and significantly impedes player movement; without appropriate equipment, a player trapped in a flooded segment of the sub is liable to suffocate, or in areas with high water pressure, be crushed via barotrauma. As the submarine effectively functions as a lifeline for its crew, an irreparably-damaged vessel often signals the end of a round. The game provides both single-player and multiplayer modes, allowing players to choose whether they want to connect online or go it alone with an AI-controlled crew. The primary game mode is a campaign, where players are tasked with reaching the mysterious Eye of Europa, but other gamemodes include ship-on-ship combat, battle inside of an outpost, and a sandbox mode where there is no objective. The game's core gameplay loop revolves around cooperation among the players to maintain life support systems, repair the submarine, and ward off enemy attacks. To enhance their chances of survival, players can craft equipment and customize their submarines using a complex crafting system.
