Along the way, you'll fight against a ton of different enemies with hack and slash mechanics similar to that of the Dynasty Warriors series.

Deep Rock Galactic is a co-op FPS title that tasks players with exploring various cave systems in space, while taking down enemies who are looking to stop you.

With each cave system being procedurally generated, every level should be entirely unique, and the game features a variety of different biomes, minerals, and animal creatures to fight against as well.
