Barotrauma: Who Is It Good For?
Last updated: 2026-11-13
A co-op survival simulation where you crew a submarine on the seabed of an alien moon. Roles such as captain, engineer and medic are genuinely separate jobs.
Who it suits
Suited to groups of five or more who enjoy teamwork and role play. Voice chat is practically required, so it fits friends who play on a call.
How it plays and player count
Online multiplayer is the core, and a single server can host a large crew. Repairs, medicine, combat and navigation all happen at once, so no one can handle it alone.
What to check before buying
The learning curve is steep. Have one experienced friend guide the first sessions, and note that it contains horror elements that not everyone likes.
Price and latest details
Price, reviews, language support and player limits change with updates and sales. Check the latest details on the Steam store page before you buy. This is a selection guide based on public game information, not a hands-on review.
