I’m glad they’re making a new game. I don’t expect them to keep adding new content to DRG for years after people have bought the game, they need to keep making content to pay the bills.
it took me several hours to realize there was even a text chat, in basically any other game the first thing i would have seen upon loading into a mission would have been a slur.
If I were to buy a handheld I’d probably get either the Steam Deck or something like an ayaneo. The legion pro looks MASSIVE, I can’t imagine it would be comfortable to play on or move around with.
DEEP ROCK GALACTIC: ROGUE CORE is a spinoff of Deep Rock Galactic with a roguelite twist. The roguelite twist means you start from basics in each mission and cooperatively build up powers and abilities for the team, sometimes leading to insanely overpowered builds and other times to spectacular flops.
STORY
Expenite, a new mineral of incredible value and utility, has been discovered within planet Hoxxes IV! Space mining company Deep Rock Galactic immediately sets up covert mining operations deeper than ever, to harvest this precious material. But without warning, all the dig sites go dark, and all contact is abruptly lost.
In this action-packed 1-4 player co-op roguelite, you’ll join a team of elite dwarven Reclaimers called to planet Hoxxes IV to deal with the situation. Bring the lost dig sites back online, unravel the mystery of The Greyout, and keep it from happening again using all the guts, guns, and grit at your disposal.
The Core has gone Rogue. DRG needs your help!
GAMEPLAY
Each Rogue Core mission begins with selecting your loadout. Pick a Phase Suit equipped with an Active Ability of your choice, as well as one of a range of unique Reclaimer Weapons. Once loaded up, you board your Drop Pod and land at the outer boundary of a lost dig site, facing the Greyout Barrier surrounding it. Luckily, R&D has equipped you with a device capable of carving a hole through the Barrier – but once you go in, there is no way back except mission success. Proceed through the Barrier on foot and fight your way down multiple procedurally-generated stages to the deepest and most dangerous level of the dig site.
During each stage, you will salvage caches of DRG equipment and weapons to expand your arsenal for that mission. The dig sites are also full of the wonder-mineral Expenite. Deposit any Expenite you can find into your trusty Processor Drone to generate a wide range of powerful temporary upgrades. Thus, as you progress ever deeper, your power will grow, but so will the challenge. Every advantage will be necessary to make it through all the stages, reach the Core, and reclaim the dig site.
Between missions, you return to your ship - the RV-09 “Ramrod”, parked in low orbit above Hoxxes IV. By completing mission tasks and reclaiming dig sites, you will earn the means to research and permanently unlock new Reclaimer Weapons, Phase Suits, and Suit Mods. Expand your gear options and experiment with various setups to tackle the deepest and most dangerous dig sites.
Gloomhaven is amazing on tabletop and on the PC. I feel like the PC version added a lot of great visuals to the game and made it feel more immersive, while also sticking to the original rules and game play. I’m not a console gamer, but if you are, I highly recommend it. Can be played solo or with friends.
Jaws of the Lion is definitely easier to get into. The organization is all done for you. Opening the Gloomhaven box is a vastly different experience. It’s like opening a box of Legos and wondering how the hell everything is going to go together. Literally had to go to a sporting goods store and buy fishing tackle boxes to organize everything!
Damn the Switch is getting a lot of good re-releases.
If you’ve never played these games they’re turn based tactic mech games. Be prepared for an incredible amount of story. Like an insane amount of story everywhere. I don’t remember if 2 has “the Internet” in it though. That’s a whole nother layer of something.
