Niche Spotlight - Deep Rock Galactic: Like a Dwarven Version of Starship Troopers

Ghost Ship Games are working on a truly interesting action-mining game called Deep Rock Galactic.

The easiest way to describe the game is like the bastard child of Starship Troopers and basically any kind of fiction involving dwarves. The game was revealed during this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, however now they’re looking to run an open alpha this month. Featured above, you can view the game’s debut trailer.

Here are the game’s key features:

• Deep Rock Galactic is a 4-player sci-fi co-op shooter taking place in procedurally generated and 100% destructible caves on an extremely hostile alien planet.
• You play as a team of badass dwarven space miners, out to complete missions for your corporate overlords and to collect as much gold, gems, and other precious minerals as you possibly can before you’re overrun.
• To complete your tasks, you’re equipped with a wide variety of severely hard-hitting weapons as well as a slew of hand gadgets. Set up turrets, call down supplies, build staircases up walls, or simply just drill your way to your objective – the choice is yours!
