Ghost Ship Games announces the early access date for PC of its new project, Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core. Set on Hoxxes IV after a general collapse, players will step into the shoes of the Reclaimers, a team of dwarves with five distinct classes. The title adopts a roguelite loop, where you start with basic equipment that is upgraded expedition after expedition.
A new gameplay loop and updated graphics engine 🎮
Development focuses on transferring the cooperative essence of the saga to a roguelite structure. Characters progress temporarily during each incursion, unlocking upgrades for weapons and tools like the new zipline launcher. Technically, the game uses an improved version of the DRG engine, designed to handle more complex procedural dungeon generation and house the new creatures that will threaten the teams.
Because dying with basic equipment is more fun... the second time 😅
The corporation has found the definitive formula for savings: sending its best dwarves to the most hostile depths, but after stripping them of all their elite equipment. Now, the philosophy is make them earn it. At least, if a horde of glyphids annihilates you, you can start over with a pickaxe and hope, feeling that authentic progress from nothing. Rock and stone, but from the bottom.
