    All of the maps are procedurally generated and the assorted map modifiers are randomly assigned ensuring you never play the same dungeon twice, giving DRG insane replayability.

    More content and fun than ANY $60 AAA game for half the price.

    Instant classic in my opinion. Easily one of the best coop games on the market today. If you are looking for that left 4 dead experience this will definitely scratch that itch. Its unique and all around blast to play with friends and the developers seem to add stuff constantly. Worth the price of entry and some, dont skip this game.

    A gem among so many games either lacking or demanding your wallet open on a regular basis. Where a game like Vermintide meanders in its bugs, being a poorly balanced, and charging for every new pixel added to the game Deep Rock Galactic is nothing but charitable in its quality and content.

    If you like cooperative FPSs, spamming emotes, voxel graphics and a color palette and soundtrack that reminds one vaguely of the Descent games, you might like Deep Rock Galactic, an up-to-four-player coop FPS about dwarven asteroid miners and their daily grind.

    The titular interstellar mining concern has just hit upon the richest source of ore in the galaxy: a pisshole of a rock called    If you like cooperative FPSs, spamming emotes, voxel graphics and a color palette and soundtrack that reminds one vaguely of the Descent games, you might like Deep Rock Galactic, an up-to-four-player coop FPS about dwarven asteroid miners and their daily grind.

    The titular interstellar mining concern has just hit upon the richest source of ore in the galaxy: a pisshole of a rock called Hoxxes IV. The only problem? It's infested with territorial alien bugs- crawling Glyphids, flying Macteras, rolling Q'ronar and more. So grab a beer, pickaxe, gun and some friends, hold on to your beard, and prepare to dive. Just watch out for those damned Bulk Detonators.

    Someone described it as a mix of Minecrafts' digging and Left 4 Dead's shooting, and while that is a crude comparison, it's not inaccurate. Of note, Deep Rock does not use iron sight aiming at all. Right Mouse is instead used to swing your pickaxe, used for both digging and as a melee attack. The closest thing to a sniping weapon in the game, the M1000 Classic, instead uses a charged shot mechanic. Given that fights are often up close or at odd angles, and your enemies' propensity for crawling on walls or flying, the combat might remind one of the early Quake games, albeit with reloading and a sprint mechanic.

    DRG has four character classes, a range of mission types and procedurally-generated level layouts across many different biomes, with many enemy types, environmental hazards and gameplay mutators to keep things interesting. Missions have three possible levels each of length and cave complexity. Mission types include excavating teal Morkite ore the dwarves (maybe) use to make dark ale, repairing broken "MULE" mining robots and then defending a damaged escape pod, gathering blue Aquarq crystals and returning them to a fortified mine head, eliminating fearsome Glyphid Dreadnoughts, or gathering alien eggs for who knows what (It might be omelettes). Along the way, you can find red Nitra ore, which can be exchanged for supply drops to replenish your limited ammo and equipment, gold for a cash bonus, and various other color-coded minerals used to purchase upgrades to your gear. Some are found in surface deposits, while others are buried just below the surface, with telltale surface indicators. Each player can carry only a limited amount of ore on their person, but you can deposit it into the robotic mule MOLL-E, or "Molly", who follows you about most missions. You may also deposit ore into the escape pod or minehead if either is present. Normally Molly hangs about, but you can call her to a targeted location by pressing C. At the end of the mission you are awarded credits and XP for your chosen class, with a "hazard bonus" applied based on your chosen difficulty level, 1-5. Hazard 5 must be unlocked first.

    Classes are satisfyingly varied and I switch mine between missions frequently. They include the fast-tunneling Driller who also packs a flamethrower, pistol and satchel charges, an Engineer with a platform deployer, sentry guns, semi-auto shotgun and grenade launcher, a Gunner who backs up his minigun with a large-bore revolver, zipline deployer and shield generator, and a Scout with an assault rifle, sawed-off shotgun, grappling hook and flare launcher. Each also has an additional primary and secondary weapon that can be unlocked through leveling and completing "weapon license" assignments. Some classes are more useful in some situations then others: I recommend bringing a flamethrower-equipped Driller to any Elimination mission for example, as he can quickly burn through a Dreadnought's regenerating armor. However, each class is viable and solo-capable. Should you choose to go solo, you have the option of being accompanied by the friendly and lively hoverdrone "Bosco", who can mine, shine light on indicated areas, and engage enemies with a machine gun and, once upgraded, a manually-requested rocket strike. He can even revive you and return your salutes! There's also the possibility you might encounter the armed mule robot BET-C, or "Betsy". Initally hostile due to infesting polyps on her hull, you can shoot these off and then repair her to have her join your team, turning her heavy guns and grenade launcher on the bugs.

    Leveling your characters also increases an overall account level, which unlocks various cosmetic alterations to your dwarves' appearance for purchase, with things like a Warhammer-style Slayer mohawk, enormous Dr. Robotnik-esque handlebar mustache, Hagrid hair and a helmet reminiscent of Dune 2's Sardaukar troops.

    DRG has a surprising degree of depth, flavor and light-hearted humor. It reminds me of the better co-op shooters of the past decade, and I heartily recommend it. It benefits from speedy load times and smooth gameplay, slick controls, frequent updates. Rock and Stone, brothers.    … Expand

    This game is extremely fun. Can be played both solo or co-op. I personally play solo more because I sometimes prefer playing games alone. However even if you decide to play with strangers the community is very helpful and nice. This game has the best community, hands down. The developers too are amazing, they are active with their community and they really listen. I highly recommend this game.

    One of the best coop games I've ever played.
    My favorite thing about the game is the randomly generated maps. Every encounter with the aliens ( there are a lot ) are different.
    Good physics. Amazing gunplay. Perks, upgrades for the four dwarf classes. Great experience with friends.
    Lots of things to look forward.

    RDG is a cooperative (up to 4 players) horde shooter, a mix of games like left 4 dead for the horde mechanic and drop in drop out system, minecraft because of course you have to mine and looter shooters because there is loot although it's mainly cosmetics.
    You get sent with a drilling pod in the caves under the surface of a rocky planet to do a different mission everytime.
    The caves are randomly generated and there are about 10 different mission types and a dozen different biomes each one with it's different challenges.

    There are 4 classes, each one with its pros and cons, they work well when mixed together
    Gunner: heavy damage and can place ziplines
    Driller: can dig tunnels very easily
    Scout: has a hook and can run around the map like spider-man
    Engineer: heavy area damage and very good utils

    Pro aspects of this game:
    * It doesn't require much commitment to play, once you reach level 25 with a class you have unlocked 90% of the stuff other players have, the rest is just cosmetic and mods that can change the behavior of your class. Also a mission lasts up to 30 min

    * It feels too easy or too hard? just crank up/down the difficulty level.

    * there's a bar where you can hang out with your mates before being sent to the next mission

    * you can press V everytime something cool happens

    * no microtransactions (there might be paid dlc in the future)

    * Rock AND Stone brothers!    … Expand

    A great game that really shines as a co-op multiplayer experience. The game has a great atmosphere and a decent soundtrack. The fact that every dwarf has unique abilities makes sure that cooperation is very important while exploring as well as in the midst of the combat heat. There's tons to upgrade and customize which makes you wanna play just one more map every time.

    The game features an incredible visual style which is dark but at the same colorful. I also loved the soundtrack which gave me Jean-Michel Jarre vibes. Deep Rock Galactic only occupies around 3 gigabytes of hard disk space and I think it’s an outstanding achievement for the developers.

    My experience with Deep Rock Galactic was with my favorite class “driller”. I was hooked until I promoted my dwarf and played through the “deep dives” and “breach the core” content. At that point the game started to feel a bit repetitive, but only after around 40 hours playtime.

    The scout: The face of DRG (at least imo because he's always in the front of the menu screen, in the momorial hall there are 2 golden scout statues and some of the propaganda has him doing the Uncle Sam "I want you" pose), his grappling hook feels great to use, it sends you to any position within range at startling speed, but where are you gonna go if you can't see anything? Here comes the flare gun, the best weapon in the game because of one fact: you and your team can shoot whatever they see, be it an enemy or something else like minerals. His weapons are very basic, choosing between an assault rifle or a Garand like weapon and for secondaries he's got a sawed off shotgun and 2 submachine guns.
    I could go into the other classes, however no one would read of review this long so I'll let you find out what dwarves scratch that LFD + Minecraft itch.

    I could write an essay about the immersion, the rich characters, the customization options, the various types of missions and the mostly great community. Due to the great depth (...) of various loadouts, procedurally generated maps, the four playable classes, and you-name-it, the game is incredibly replayable.

    It will take a bit to get used to different classes, and sometimes you're bound to mess up and not perform your tasks according to others' expectations. When this happened to me, people were usually nice about it and helped me along. However, once you learn your class(es), the game becomes increasingly rewarding. It's an absolute blast playing in a well-organized group.

    Also, the devs are fantastic! I purchased the game in early access and it was a pleasure seeing it develop over time. Because of this I have no doubt the game will continue to be actively supported and tweaked down the line.

    The game is great for multiplayer coop, had a lot of fun with it, but it too often disconnects you from host and if you’re playing with randoms there’s no way to reconnect, often that happens by the end of mission which means you lose from 10 to 40 minutes without gaining any progression. Lately that happened to me a lot, so I just stopped playing(

You play as a dwarf – or more specifically, one of four classes of dwarf, digging your way through various missions while killing man-sized alien bugs with guns. While you are playing as dwarves, this is very much a “sci fi shooter” – not that there’s a lot of science fiction here, but the aesthetic is all a bit futuristic (though not tremendously so).

    Each of the classes has some mixture of guns specific to that class plus traversal or exploration or platforming abilities. Some can create platforms; others are faster at digging; still others are able to create zip-lines or shoot grappling hooks to get up to higher areas.

    All of them can launch flares, to light up the underground areas they’re exploring, as well as throw grenades.

    Sadly, while the game’s core is all okay, it’s never really great. The whole game feels just a little bit janky, with weird physics bugs sometimes slinging your character around long distances.

    But the main issue is repetition. The core of the game is going on a mission, completing some mission objectives, then running back to your pod to launch back into space. All of them have very similar structure, and while the particular objectives might differ, you are doing the same thing all the time, and fighting pretty much the same enemies.

    On top of this, this is one of those dreaded “FPS platformer” games, where you run into the problem where you can’t see your own feet, so it is easy to end up falling off of ledges while fighting, which can easily lead to your doom.

    The game’s lack of doing anything really excellent combined with the repetition made me quickly bore of it; I tried it for a few hours, but I never really had all that much fun.

    1. Make emotes and colors universal to all classes once unlocked. Seriously, there's no reason not to given how rare those items are.

    I cannot recommend this game enough. If you have game pass for PC or for Xbox, this should be a no-brainer, it's 2GB of your hard drive for days and days of excellent and well-tuned co-op fun, which is incredibly hard to come by these days in a world of 100+ GB minimums on the majority of games.

If you have game pass for PC or for Xbox, this should be a no-brainer, it's 2GB of your hard drive for days and days of excellent and well-tuned co-op fun, which is incredibly hard to come by these days in a world of 100+ GB minimums on the majority of games.

    For starters, this game loses a lot of it's shine in the solo mode, other players/friends are swapped out for a small drone that has a small list of commands mirroring typical functions of other players (i.e "go here to mine", "protect this drill", etc.) This idea works well on paper and a little less in practice. This mode is still incredibly fun, just not nearly as much so as coordinating attacks or working together to reach a higher Nitra vein in the stellar multiplayer. The solo mode not being as fun as the online is about the biggest gripe I have about this game.

    The progression in the game is suprisingly deep for such a straightforward game, there are multiple different progressions systems. Player rank, individual character rank, individual weapon modifications and cosmetics, visual customization items, if you expect to see it in 2020-2021, it's there. The weapon/gear modding system was the most impressive to me, with each weapon opening up a slot for a new mod/perk at different individual character levels. Most if not all of these mods have a major impact on gunplay, be it something as simple as an extended mag or an upgrade to ammo carrying capacity, or quicker weapon fire rate, and some cool ones such as reloading your weapon when unequipped for 5 seconds, which can be a major time saver in tense situations, the best part, it's none of those little percentage upgrades and "filler" skill points that give you a +0.12 damage buff.

    Also PERFORMANCE! If you play on base Xbox consoles, the visuals retain quality at the price of smoothness (at this point, that's kind of a standard for base Xbox One consoles), stays at a pretty consistent 30-45 frames per second. I have yet to play on Series X or the half-gen One X, but I'd imagine it keeps a solid 60 frames, and on my ROG Zephyrus G14, outfitted with an Nvidia RTX 2060 Max-Q, it keeps a silky smooth 1080p 120fps with almost no compromises.

    This game shines in a lot of ways, and each system is as reliant on other systems as a Scout is on his grapple. Highly recommend it, in either solo or multiplayer, but the best way to do it to get all your buddies on PC and Xbox to get game pass, and start running co-op like Left 4 Dead 2 came out last night.

    A great game taking inspiration from the best co-op shooter in the business - Left 4 Dead 2.
    It improves on said classic mainly via breadth of gameplay mechanics - the players now have objectives to complete other than simply going through a level, and Ammo and health have to be actively worked for instead of being given out at the whim of a director AI.

    On paper, the game should also have more replayability thanks to different character builds and character progression, random level generation and variety of mission types.
    The reason it doesn't succeed is how much less satisfying it is to finish any given level than in Valve's magum opus. Here are a few reasons:
    - Character progression makes difficulty fluid, taking away from the feeling of beating a set challenge
    - Missions are singular levels, which doesn't feel as substantial as a full L4D campaign. Instead of something that makes you feel accomplished and quit the game for the day, DRG's missions feel bite-sized.
    - The former issue is exacerbated by how boring the meta progression is after promoting each dwarf (you just grind for minor cosmetics and occasionally resources necessary for obtaining and crafting weapon mods, most of which are uninteresting)
    - Randomly generated levels simply can't be as interesting as hand-crafted ones. They don't have any pacing or distinct sections - just rooms that don't lead into one another in any intentional way like they would in a well designed, hand-crafted level.
    - Restarting levels takes ages, so you're heavily disincentivised to pick difficulties outside of your comfort zone

    That being said, it's in close second place to L4D for the title of the best co-op shooter.

    + 4 very distinct classes that synergise very well in co-op
    + Alternative weapons for each class that feel and perform significantly differently
    + Reasonably flexible class/weapon tuning system without excessive grind
    + Good gunplay
    + Great, pleasing aesthetic that doesn't really get old
    + Variety of mission types
    + Generally good netcode
    + Low skill floor

    - All issues previously mentioned
    - Bad solo experience. The game tries to adjust for having only one player by giving them a robot you can use in combat and to complete some tasks, but there are objectives a single player will have a disproportionally harder time completing even if they can hold their own in combat just fine. Even for those who prefer playing alone, co-op is a must for the game to be even close to as good as in multiplayer.
    - Performance could be better
    - Aim friction on impossible to turn off on controllers, reloading and interaction are both bound to a normal press of the X button, which causes a lot of issues
    - Mixed input (gamepad+mouse/keyboard) makes some buttons behave in unexpected ways
    - Steam can't crossplay with any other platform, whereas Xbox console players can join up with PC Xbox App/UWP players.    … Expand

    Чего не хватает до 10:
    - в игре, в которой очень многое построено на физике, сама физика на очень посредственном уровне (постоянные соскальзывания с уступов и враги, бьющие сквозь тонкие поверхности);
    - скорее неизбежная часть, но все же не самая для меня приятная - спустя 30-35 часов появляется ощущение гринда.    … Expand

    Deep Rock Galactic is a coop game, where you control one of four possible dwarf miners, and go mining on an alien planet.

    There is a lot of customization, from your own dwarf to changing parts on your pick-axe, the possibilities are endless.

    There are only two malefactors I could find, there is some visual bugs (nothing too extreme, sometimes they can be funny) and some repetitiveness. When i mention repetitiveness I talk about the missions, there could be some other objectives to complete and make it more diverse, but for now, this is the most fun I`ve had with a coop game in years.    … Expand

    This is an absolutely fun game. I don't normally write reviews but this game is such a blast and I wanted to share this. The game is made up of tiny missions which is very suitable for gamers who want to hop in and out. The gameplay is full of challenge, fun and last minute saves. I've been a gamer for 30 years now and I can comfortably say that this is one of the best games I have everThis is an absolutely fun game.

    This game combines the best from what I remember about L4D1 & 2 and star ship troopers, it is a strictly co op PVE adventure. Danish humour and beers. so much good stuff and lovely devs working on making an awesome game.

    Крайне простая, но цепляющая игра с родной атмосферой. Так и хочется кричать: «ROCK AND STONE!»

    Оцениваю эту игру на 9 по одной причинес оптимизация она более менее хорошая но не наилучшая. Игра большенству понравиться, игру это какая-то смесь майнкраыта и Left 4dead, и это хорошо, она чем то в себя затягивает, заставляет в нее все возвращаться и возвращаться, те же самые классы, каждый имеет свое снаряжение, способности и баффы. Как по мне одна из лучших кооп игр. Рекомендую всемОцениваю эту игру на 9 по одной причинес оптимизация она более менее хорошая но не наилучшая.

    In the gaming industry today, the multiplayer looter genre is by no means niche. But even with all the money thrown into these projects, most end up being mediocre due to unrealistic scope. Deep Rock Galactic by Ghost Ship Games manages to break the mold by creating a memorable experience in atmosphere, gameplay and cooperation. There are some limitations throughout, namely when it comes to story and graphics, but I never found these to hurt the immersion. The gameplay is addictively deep, while procedural generation and extensive loot keep me coming back for more. If you and your friends are fans of the multiplayer looter genre, or just love dwarves and space mining, you need not look any further than Deep Rock Galactic for your next gaming adventure.

    Finally, a non-traditional co-op multiplayer game with very intense atmosphere. Original, dark and bearded, it is Deep Rock Galactic. No need to dig deeper. [Issue#304]
