PEAK Is Chaotic Climbing Co-Op Madness from Landfall and Aggro Crab

If teamwork makes the dream work, then PEAK is the dream that falls off a cliff — together.

If you’ve ever wanted to fall off a mountain with style — and preferably while dragging your friends with you — PEAK might be your next favorite disaster. Released on June 16th, 2025 for just $7.99, this physics-based co-op climbing game throws you into daily-changing terrain, questionable snacks, and endless hilarious failures.

What Is PEAK?

Developed during a whirlwind February by a team of seven — including creators behind hits like Stick Fight and Going Under — PEAK is a survival-climber mashup where the only way to win is to not fall (too often). You play as lost nature scouts trying to escape a mysterious island by scaling its deadly centerpiece: the PEAK.

“The slightest mistake can spell your doom.” That’s not marketing fluff — it’s a fact of life in this game. One slip, and it’s back to the last campfire. If your friends are around, expect them to laugh first and help second.

A Game Built for Laughs, Not Longevity

In short bursts, PEAK is fantastic. It’s the kind of game that turns teamwork into slapstick chaos — from flinging each other off ledges to failing to use ropes properly. But after a few sessions, the novelty does wear thin. The challenges can start to feel repetitive, and without deeper progression or varied content, its staying power is limited.

That said, at $7.99, it doesn’t need to be a 100-hour epic. It’s a perfectly priced party game — one that’s best enjoyed in small, laughter-filled doses.

Final Verdict

PEAK is a quirky, chaotic co-op climb-em-up that knows exactly what it wants to be. It’s not deep, it’s not serious, and it doesn’t overstay its welcome. If you’ve got three friends and two hours to kill, this is a mountain worth falling off — repeatedly.
