Not so generous of giving away free game forever every week like Epic Games Store, Steam still knows how to attract newbie hunters. Mostly every weekend, we have a free game to play on Valve's storefront. And this time, it's Deep Rock Galactic - a co-op sci-fi first-person shooter!
Ready to take your dwarfs to the underground battles? Here's the trailer of this game, which you can give it a look while waiting for the download to complete:
Special features of Deep Rock Galactic
As I have mentioned, Deep Rock Galactic is a co-op FPS which consists of unique elements from Left 4 Dead and Minecraft. In this game, you and 3 other friends will control 4 dwarves, work in tandem to explore the cave under the ground.
Your mission is to hunt for valuable resources, so you'll have to dig down, explore and fight against hordes of enemies that stand in your way. Since you're working as a team, you'll have to choose from 4 classes responsible for distinctive tasks.
They include the Gunner - unleashing heavy firepower to mow down the enemies, the Scout - checking the areas ahead and deploying light to the caves, the Driller - dig down the massive caves full of solid rocks, and the Engineer - supporting your team by constructing defensive structures and turrets.
The cave network in Deep Rock Galactic is procedurally-generated, which means there are no two similar adventures down the rock. Additionally, the developer has announced that 100% of the environment in this game is destructible, so you can freely make your own route down in those caves.
That's the Minecraft's flavor, what about Left 4 Dead? Well, the alien monsters down there are changing over time as well, which will give you experience and more equipment to dig deeper. They include flamethrowers, Gatling guns, portable platform launchers, and many more.
Last but not least, the monsters don't come only one-by-one at a time but in whole packs, which will put your shooting skills to the real test. Thus, deliver the best out of your role is mandatory in order to survive.
