'Deep Rock Galactic' (ALL) Early Access Update Adds More End-Game Content - Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 21, 2019 @ 6:36 p.m. PST

Deep Rock Galactic is a procedurally generated first person co-op shooter for up to 4 players.

As a team of veteran dwarven space miners, you must go on missions for your corporate overlords and venture into the deepest, most dangerous cave systems of the most hostile planet ever discovered.

Experience teamwork as you’ve never experienced it in a co-op game before. Complete missions and gather ever more riches. Expand your roster of class-based skills, unlock new gear and weapons, and take on the worst monsters the galaxy has to offer.

Players take up arms as one of four classes of badass dwarven miners, each with their own invaluable set of skills and gear. The Driller, the Engineer, the Scout and the Gunner must work together to survive a relentless onslaught of ravenous aliens and escape the procedurally generated caves with their bounty intact.

Enlisted dwarves will be paired with up to three like-minded brethren and sent on missions to the most hostile planet ever discovered, Hoxxes IV, to mine precious gems and metals. Cooperation is essential to your success and, as an interplanetary mining conglomerate, Deep Rock Galactic depends on its employees to take care of each other.

The newest major update as Deep Rock Galactic hurtles closer to full commercial launch introduces Machine Events, a pivotal new endgame system, as well as awesome cosmetics and more.

In celebration of the launch, Deep Rock Galactic management are running a 33% sale on Steam, and have released a series of new beers, available at the Abyss Bar now! From 10am PT/7PM CET today (21/11) until next Tuesday (26/11), meaning aspiring space mining dwarves can head to Hoxxes V1 for just $20.09, €18.75 EUR, £24.99.

Three different Machine Events can be found in random missions: Kursite Infection, Rock Mutation, and Tritilyte Crystal. Each of them offers a different timed challenge that must be completed in order to get access to the Core Infuser where Blank Matrix cores can be used.
