Imagine you're a publisher with a wad of cash to dish out to the right project. Along comes a developer with the idea of throwing the traditional class-based FPS genre into space and turning all the player characters into adventurous dwarves. Sound like a deal? It's already happening.
Deep Rock Galactic is gearing up to exit Closed Alpha later today by heading straight into Early Access. Where a cost was never asked for, it will be now as the gated Closed Beta community opens to those willing to pay for the privilege.
Tossed into the deepest reaches of space to explore procedural generated cave systems embedded within other worlds, Deep Rock Galactic essentially sums itself up in the title alone - and that's always a good sign. Go it alone, or drag three other hopefuls with you to worm your way through continuously new environments, shoot things and loot others. What a rush!
Developers Of The Witcher/Cyberpunk 2077 Offer Explanation As They Attempt To Trademark 'Cyberpunk'
When asked (by Steam) about their decision to go down the Early Access route, Ghost Ship Games touched on how they expect the title to spend between 1-2 years in Early Access before they can begin to consider it feature complete. The current version will offer up a fully-functioning 1-4 player 'Core Game Loop' with additional biomes, equipment and game modes planned as the team builds up their asset bank.
So, if you're looking to invest in a cave-crawling shooter that might not be considered complete for a number of years, here's what you're looking for. If you like guns that look like a love child between SUPERHOT and a low-quality version of a recent Dues Ex game, you'll find that too.
