Deep Rock Galactic is a cooperative first-person shooter set on the alien planet Hoxxes IV. Players take on the role of dwarven space miners employed by an intergalactic mining corporation, completing missions in procedurally generated cave systems filled with hostile alien wildlife. The game supports up to four players who choose from distinct classes, each with unique weapons and traversal tools that complement each other. Missions involve extracting resources, fighting swarms of enemies, and navigating destructible environments before escaping via drop pod.
About the story
On the hostile alien world of Hoxxes IV, a planet rich in precious minerals but teeming with dangerous creatures, an intergalactic mining corporation known as Deep Rock Galactic sends teams of dwarven miners into the planet's deepest cave systems. These veteran space miners must descend into procedurally shifting underground networks to extract valuable resources while contending with swarms of hostile alien life and treacherous environmental hazards. Each mission takes the miners further from safety, requiring them to work together using specialized equipment and heavy weaponry to survive long enough to complete their objectives and reach the extraction point. The corporation cares only about results, and the caves of Hoxxes IV claim many who venture too deep.

By Thumb CultureI have never felt bored while playing Deep Rock Galactic as I was always had an assignment to do, be it for some new skins or to promote my dwarves, or simply helping other players doing their assignments. I can not wait to see what Ghost Ship Games brings us next.

By Kristian LongdenDeep Rock Galactic mixes incredible FPS action, addictive exploration, and endlessly entertaining gallows humour that combine to create one of the most compelling co-op experiences available in video games. Beautiful environments powered by incredible procedural generation will have me teaming up with friends to return to the hostile subterranean world of Hoxxes IV again, and again, and again.
MMOGames
By Alex Sinclair LackDeep Rock Galactic is a hugely fun multiplayer romp full of humour, character, dramatic action, and fun foes. It’s made all the better for its excellent voice acting, creative weapon design, and extensive customisation options. It’s a game that the devs have clearly enjoyed making and that makes it all the better for playing.
But Why Tho?
By Quinn HiersWhile the Playstation version of Deep Rock Galactic has a few downsides here and there, overall, the game is a blast to play with your friends. The procedurally-generated environments, endless variations on missions, and the customization will provide hours upon hours of fun and challenges.
Push Square
By Stephen TailbyIf you're looking for your next co-op addiction, Deep Rock Galactic could well be it. Brilliantly balanced character classes and engaging, emergent missions make for highly enjoyable underground antics, particularly with pals. Some networking issues and perhaps overly complex design decisions could frustrate, but it's a game worth sticking with for the moments where it all comes together. With replay value through the roof and satisfying gameplay at its core, this is one rock solid game to dig into.
