Aggro Crab, the developer of hit co-op game Peak and arbiter of “friendslop” (although we’re still undecided on that phrase here at PC Gamer), have released a demo for its new game for Steam Next Fest—and it’s already utter chaos. Though it’s of a different flavour.
Crashout Crew sees you and up to three other mates tasked with delivering a specific number of items into the back of trucks before they haul off without their precious cargo. Which sounds simple enough, except this workplace is the furthest thing from OSHA-compliant it can possibly be. It’s OSHA-hostile.
See, if you take enough damage by bumping into walls/each other—or, uh, a meteor strike—you crash out, becoming uncontrollable as you throw a fit in your forklift and bump into goddamn everything. Which, to be fair, is a measured response to being hit by a rock from space.
Whereas Peak is a battle of attrition, slowly trying not to let poor choices ruin your day, Crashout Crew is a delicate plate-spinning operation that’s been factory-designed to come apart at a moment’s notice.
