From Press Release:
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK February 1st, 2024 – Ghost Ship Publishing and Funday Games are excited to announce that Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, the spin-off shoot’em up game set in the Deep Rock Galactic universe, will be releasing into Steam Early Access on February 14th.
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is a single player, top-down shoot’em up game featuring iconic dwarves and bugs from the world of Deep Rock Galactic. The game evolves the surging ‘survivor-like’ genre by implementing terrain destruction in the form of mining, allowing for strategic route planning as dwarves navigate fiery caves and treacherous cliffs in search of minerals to mine and glyphids to slay. The moment-to-moment gameplay is also influenced by the mission structure, as miners descend deeper into the planet, obtaining new sets of objectives and choosing upgrades in an action roguelike manner.
On February 14th, miners can look forward to:
- 4 Iconic Classes – Scout, Driller, Engineer and Gunner will all be available on release, offering players unique class-specific perks to tackle the depths of Hoxxes IV.
- 3 Bustling Biomes – Crystalline Caverns, Magma Core and Hollow Bough will await miners brave enough to venture inward, each biome posing a unique challenge. Rivers of lava and lethal vegetation lie in wait, and can be used to players’s advantage.
- 20 Enemy Types – Macteras, Glyphids and Dreadnoughts of all shapes and sizes roam the caverns of Hoxxes IV, and they will attack you on sight. From small Grunts to imposing Praetorians and airborne Macteras, miners better stock up on lead and slap the dice for good luck.
- 40 Weapons – From iconic Deep Rock Galactic rifles to brand new tools of destruction, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor will have a little something for everyone, usually filled with gunpowder and malicious intent.
“We’ve come a long way since we’ve met the Ghost Ship team two years ago during Gamescom.” Anders Leicht Rohde, co-founder and creative director at Funday Games commented. “That’s where the idea of a Deep Rock Galactic shoot’em up spin off was born, and our team’s been hard at work since to make sure the game stays true to the original, but also offers new ways to play. We’re looking forward to releasing into Early Access, as it’ll give us a chance to listen to feedback and shape the game alongside players!”
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor will release into Early Access on February 14th, 2024. The game will be available to purchase for $9.99 / €9.99 / £9.99.
