Dwarves. Space. Heartless mining corporations. Bugs.
Been getting into this game bc game pass was 99 cents and it’s only 2 GB. Fucking awesome.
Have you played it? What class did you try?
"Wait, you're saying I can pick a class with a flamethrower and a terrain deformation tool?!" :arce-excited:
Eventually it can be a sludge- or ice-thrower so :yes-hahaha-yes-l:
Sludge? Damn it's been a minute since I played, everyone just had two choices per slot
Runner up is Gunner, love that alternate autocannon and ziplines are the best compliment to drills
My friend juuuuust unlocked it last night. Corrosive sludge that turns bugs to mush. There’s 3 weapons per slot now. This game kicks ass.
Hell yeah, I gave my engineer the stalinstache and Ushanka. Just unlocked a Lenin goatee but haven't made him yet
My engineer looks like Lenin wearing his Baker Boy cap
:lenin-laugh:
That's a good idea. I couldn't decide whether to give him a hat or not since all my other dwarves have hats. Thinking of leaving him bald
2 GB? i deeply respect a compact game. size bloat is something i feel so few of us are still holdin a pissed-off candle about
It leaned in hard on art direction over photorealistic textures. Everything is chunky and low poly but the art design has a clear vision and is very coherent so it looks great. The alien caverns all have a lot of character and distinct flora, fauna, and rocks.

Please god let other game developers realize this. Not every game needs to be Read Dead Redemption 2! Just give me good physics and an art style where I can tell enemies apart from the scenery and I'm good.
It genuinely looks beautiful too. Like it’s blocky but the lighting effects are spot on. Lots of level variety too.
Two more missions for the engineer promotion assignment and I'll be in the same boat. Scout's been my favorite recently tho. All the light and zip zoops.
The Scout seems the weakest at first glance. For the first week even when playing with a full party of four, we would play with two Drillers. BUT once you get the first upgrade for the scouts grappling hook, it becomes amazing. You can zip around like Spider-Man and get the minerals that are too high up for Engineers to reach with platforms. And once you get used to having a Flare Gun, it gets hard to play without it.
Otherwise I love the Driller. Being able to make your own tunnel back to the dropship comes in clutch. And you can do a lot of climbing up hills by making your own path.
The scout and engineer have really strong synergy. The engineer puts a platform under a mineral vein then the scout can zoom up to grab it. They did a really good job of giving each class a unique mobility tool that compliments the team.
It's very satisfying to just flip the table and say Nope. to a winding cavern layout.
I always love at the end of a round just pointing myself directly at the ship and walking through walls to it.
My group would instinctively line up against the next wall if I was being slow lol
ROCK AND STONE COMRADE! I’ve been playing engineer and my buddy has been playing driller. Love the progression and the gameplay so much.
Engineer. Just let me mine ye bugs, I'm busy here. My turrets will see to you.
I played this game non-stop for months until I reliably could play Hazard 5 all the time. But greenbeards who don't know the difficulty system constantly try to join Haz 4 (and sometimes end up in Haz 5 before they're ready) and I could only carry them so far. It ruined a lot of matches and I stopped playing for a while. Still waiting for the day they let us add some kind of restriction to our games besides mods.
I did see a bunch of mods that were like "lol what if we turned off the spawn limit for enemies at hazard 5?"
Fully upgraded Grappling Hook makes it a different game. It sucks that the basic range for the Grappler is so low that it's useless in combat when you don't have time to line the shot up perfectly. The first range upgrade makes such a difference.
This is the game me and my brother play together, I usually play as engineer.
definitely top-tier for recent releases
Just had my other friend join up as a Gunner having a third person makes every mission a lot more intense :bird-bouncy:
No and it’s the only semi-:gamer-gulag: part about the game. Devs said they won’t add them for some reason.
oh? last i heard it was a down the road thing, now its no women chars at all? guess i dont get to play then🙁 love to have dysphoria
I enjoyed them all but since I usually ended up playing solo Scout was the main class I played. The grappling hook is way too much fun
Very fun core gameplay. There wasn't all that much content when I last played it though.
As of now they've got all the corporate sabotage stuff from the Rival season and the Rock Pox stuff from the current season, plus deep dives and elite deep dives once you hit level 25.
I got back into it after a while of not playing and was overwhelmed by some missions having the pox hives and fucking meteors landing in my mission zone
