There are also mutators that can dramatically change how you play the game, like low O2 zones, which means you can’t stray too far from sources of oxygen. It also helps that there is an excellent variety of the monsters/Glyphids that you face, and the game does a good job of slowly introducing you to them and the different modes you can play in. Or when you are rushing to get back to the dropship while a swarm is happening, and people are dropping and getting revived, you manage to get in just before the ship takes off without you.
This emphasis on co-op play creates moments that you just don’t forget, like when someone accidentally throws a grenade and sets off a Dreadnought before everyone is ready. These are just two of the many interactions that happen throughout the game. The Driller can freeze large enemies allowing the Gunner to do a precision strike on a weak area. The Engineer can set up platforms up high so that a Scout can grapple up and mine a resource that couldn’t be reached otherwise. But more than that, each of the four roles helps support each of the others with their special powers. Each of the four roles is distinct enough to play distinctly differently while still feeling grounded in the game. Here what we get might be one of the best 4-player co-op games I have played.

The cosmetic items you can unlock feel perfect for the feeling of Dwarves in a Science Fiction setting, blending those Sci-fi and Fantasy elements.ĭeep Rock Galactic is also a stunningly beautiful game. The space rig feels like a lived-in space and has just enough distractions to keep you entertained while your group picks its next mission. But this attention to detail in the design can be found in every facet of the game.
You have the warmth of the Sandblasted Corridors that feel like a canyon in the desert, the Azure Weald with its bioluminescent jungles, and the Dense Biozone with its coral formations, just to name a few. But more than that, each of the biomes is simply gorgeous. But in Deep Rock Galactic, every biome has a distinct feel that you know where you are from the moment you leave the driller. When you think of games set underground, it can be just monotone greys or browns and historically can be pretty bland. The first thing you see in this game is just how beautiful it can be. Finally, the Driller, which I played as, gets the big area of effect weapons and a set of drills to carve through the walls like butter. The Gunner has the best assortments of weapons and can set up ziplines.
The Engineer has platforms to help you reach up high and turrets to help with the hordes.

The Scout has the grapple and big flare gun to zip around and light things up for everyone. Each of your team members is playing a different class, all with additional bonuses, guns, and equipment that creates a different playing style no matter who you are playing as. You will be deposited into a cave system, and you will need to collect a certain amount of resources, kill a certain amount of monsters, protect a driller, or do one of several other missions in the dark.

The game can be a chaotic blast at times. However, those very lifeforms do not like large sounds reverberating through the rock, for example, the sounds miners make while digging up their booty.

These caves are full of life adapted to the rocky and dark world. Under the surface are great biomes that exist in the planet’s many interconnecting cave systems. However, underneath, it is full of wonders, full of minerals, and full of dangers. The planet is smashed apart, and its surface is a desolate wasteland. So to set the scene, in the far future, the Creus solar system is inhabited by Dwarves thanks to the powerhouse that is the planet Hoxxes IV. Before we start, I want to thank my friends Johan, Nikola, and Chris for helping to run through the game with me. Well, as their Season Two event is about to launch, I thought it would be an excellent time to jump in and have a look at the game as a whole. But recently, we have been going into a deep dive, exploring everything the game has to offer. For a while now, me and my friends have been dipping in and out of this odd mining survival game from Ghost Ship Games.
