Ghost Ship Publishing and developer Ghost Ship Games shared the first gameplay trailer for Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core, their new roguelite shooter spinoff set in their Deep Rock Galactic universe.
The new gameplay trailer comes alongside news of a Closed Alpha, with sign-ups over on its Steam page. An early access release is planned.
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus the first gameplay trailer:
DEEP ROCK GALACTIC: ROGUE CORE is a spinoff of Deep Rock Galactic with a roguelite twist. The roguelite element means you start each mission with only the most basic equipment, and cooperatively build up powers, weapons and abilities as you go. Each run requires you to think on your feet and work with your team to put together the most powerful builds you can.
The Company Needs You
All deep mining operations on Hoxxes have suddenly gone dark. An enormous transient disturbance has cut off all contact with our dig sites. Ever since The Grayout, nothing gets in or out.
The Deep Rock Galactic Corporation needs our mining facilities secured and operational immediately. Conventional measures don’t seem to be working.
That’s why we’re sending in the Reclaimers.
Send in the Reclaimers
The Reclaimers are Deep Rock Galactic’s elite security force. Planetary mining is a dangerous business, after all. The pickaxe is a noble tool, but there are times when it must become a weapon.
Throughout the years, the Company has called on the Reclaimers when a situation requires a little applied force. When negotiations aren’t an option. When all else fails.
Join the Reclaimers and experience a new arsenal of advanced weaponry, cutting-edge equipment and experimental biomedical enhancements available only to the Company’s finest.
Find out why the Reclaimers get sent in when nobody else can do the job.
Brave the Depths
We’re sending you down to the lowest depths the Company has ever reached. These subterranean landscapes are largely uncharted territory. We’re counting on you to gather critical intel on these extreme environments close to the planet’s core.
The Grayout Barrier disables most of our technology on contact, so you’ll be heading in with only your pickaxe. You’ll have to scrounge any weapons and equipment you can find within the mining facility, and craft enhancements by harvesting the wunder-mineral Expenite.
Fight and Win Together
You’ll need to rely on your wits and weaponry. Collect guns, gear and personal upgrades along the way, and wield your game-changing Reclaimer Gauntlers in the heat of battle. Build your arsenal on the fly, experiment with lethal new combinations and get stronger as you go.
Down here, swift decisions and unflinching force are your keys to survival. Fight through the mines and pacify any resistance you may encounter. Time is of the essence – the longer you stick around, the higher the pressure.
You’ll be deployed in teams of four operatives, and close cooperation is essential. Work together, or die alone.
Confront the Hoxxes’ Horrors
The inhospitable depths of Hoxxes are home to a horrific new class of creature: the Core Spawn. We don’t know much about them, but one thing is certain: these creatures are more aggressive, resilient and intelligent than anything we’ve encountered before.
Management considers the Core Spawn to be a critical threat to our continued operations. Confront and dispatch them with extreme prejudice.
Build the Deadliest Dwarf
Coming back alive is only the beginning. Build, upgrade, and master your craft to make your Reclaimer a legend of the deep.
Extensive class customization, character progression, endless build combinations and infinite depths of procedurally-generated caves make for limitless mayhem.
No two missions are alike – Dive, dig, and dive again.
