Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is a game that I’ve been covering since the dawn of Rogueliker, and there’s news once more as the dwarven sci-fi survivors-like is now out in Early Access on Steam!
Update: In fact, you can read my review of the Early Access build right here. I liked it very much, and a lot of people have also taken the plunge with the game achieving a cool 500,000 sales in week one!
The game will cost you tenner regardless of where you live ($9.99 / €9.99 / £9.99 – to be precise), and for that you’ll get to visit Planet Hoxxes with four different playable classes (Scout, Engineer, Driller, and Gunner) across three different biomes. We’re promised more than 40 weapons, too.
Funday Games have developed DRG Suvivor on behalf of Ghost Ship Games, the Danish studio that made the original Deep Rock Galactic. This bullet-hell spinoff will naturally include a lot of crossover, but there are long-term plans to ensure that this survivor-like has a life of its own.
The Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor roadmap
The first thing on the list of things still to do at developer Funday Games is upgrading your robotic companion in the game – or Bosco, as it’s otherwise known. The devs want to make it an “integral part of the game”, with its own upgrades to ensure more gameplay variety.
After that we’re getting a new biome, more Overclocks and Artifacts, and then biome mutators. Following that there’s a long list of things, shared in no particular order, such as: “awesome” bosses, stage events, new missions, and an endless mode.
Check out the full roadmap below, and stay tuned to Rogueliker for an update – I’ve downloaded the game and will share more detailed thoughts in due course. If you can’t wait, I did write a little preview of Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor last year.
