Deep Rock Galactic
Ghost Ship Games · Coffee Stain Publishing
Deep Rock Galactic is a dwarf PvE drop: mine, swarm, extract, toast. The mission ends; the beer is the meta. A cave is a job, and the drop pod is how you get to keep the gold.
What kind of game is it?
Class-based co-op FPS with procedural caves. You drop, you fill a tank, you leave if the swarm lets you. A battle royale would keep the loot on a shrinking circle; this one keeps it on a drop pod, and the next sitting is another beer in the space rig.
Who is it for?
For players who like dropping into a cave, mining, and leaving with the team.
