eeprock Galactic has a funny story attached to it. The video that convinced me to buy this game Leave No Dwarf Behind (A Deep Rock Galactic Music Video) by CrimsonGamer99 also got me to listen to the song behind the video Diggy Diggy Hole by the dwarven themed Wind Rose. I've probably listened to their album Wintersaga a dozen times in a month now and comparitively in their respective genres, I like it far better then Deeprock. But a dozen times in a month.... that's like my Top 20 albums. This game is fantastic, but not Top 20 good. What's there to say? You drink. You dig holes. You sleep and you repeat. Occasionally you get together with a few friends and kick every barrel you have in the space station into the dropod and launch yourself into the stratosphere only to be surprised by that ding and an achievement.
This game is the perfect game to just chill with a few mates, knock back a few beers and slaughter space bugs as you mine for those precious resources. The hub world is fantastic and feels like how a space dwarves hub should feel (a high tech bar with a lot of toys). The upgrade system is well done with equipment upgrades tied to specific resources and perks received for completing missions. And that's what this game is, synergy and drunken brotherhood. There are four space dwarf classes that have combat and traversal abilities. The best miners will work together and tactically coordinate abilities. Naturally I choose the best one for killing bugs, the flamethrower wielding Digger. Also best for digging down and down into the deep because who knows what we'll find beneath? Diamonds, rubies, gold and more that'll be hidden in the mountain store. If you want to play creatures born underground, suckled from a teat of stone and raised in the dark, the safety of a mountain home, look no further.
