The world of cooperative horde shooter Deep Rock Galactic is getting tailored to a brand new setting: A survivors-style auto-horde-shooter where a single dwarf takes on the buggy hordes all on their very own.

(As a short apart, can we… not name them “survivor-likes?” We have already bought survival as a style and that is uncomfortably shut.)

The trailer and screenshots obtainable to date exhibit quite a lot of weapons, from pistols and miniguns to flamethrowers, shotguns, and autocannons. There are additionally some classic-looking spinning orb protect issues. You realize the sort: Enemy hits the orb, enemy goes growth, orb comes again some time later.
