Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor—the rogue-like bullet hell auto-shooter spin-off of DRG—has just blasted out of Early Access and into full release on Steam.
You’re a lone dwarf in the caves of Hoxxes. The drill: mine minerals, kite swarms, and upgrade into a walking death machine. Guns, grenades, turrets, drill arms—gear rains down as you push deeper. And thanks to the new 1.0 loadout system, gear now drops with rarities and perks, giving every run its own weird flavor. Escort Drilldozers, crack Heartstones, or just survive long enough to crawl out rich.
It looks fantastic. Bright neon caves—deep blues, glowing purples, bug guts splattering red. Lighting pops, and you can even tilt the camera for comfort.
Sound design matches the spectacle: moody ambient music until the swarm horns blare, then chaos. Explosions have weight. Guns thump. Voice lines keep the DRG charm alive.
Controls are exactly what you’d want. Keyboard and mouse feel sharp. Xbox and PlayStation pads plug right in. DualSense works over USB. Cloud saves, Remote Play on TV—check.
Specs aren’t crazy: an i5-4590, GTX 1050, 8GB RAM, 2GB disk space. And Steam Deck? Fully Verified. That green checkmark means smooth sailing on Valve’s handheld—or Linux via Proton.
This is Funday Games’ second Steam title, and unlike their first effort, this one’s a hit. During Early Access it sold over a million copies in its first month, and now at 1.0 it sits at 88% positive across nearly 20,000 reviews. Critics call it one of the best Vampire Survivors-likes out there.
The best part? Price. C$11.89 with launch discount at release. For a game that delivers this much content—and with Ghost Ship backing it—it’s an easy recommendation.
