What is Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor?
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is a single-player auto-shooter with roguelite structure from Funday Games. The game takes over the Hoxxes universe, classes and many weapons from Deep Rock Galactic but fundamentally changes the perspective: instead of a co-op FPS, you play from a bird's-eye view and focus on movement, mining, build decisions and surviving automatic firefights.

Gameplay
The weapons fire automatically; the player controls positioning, mining and resource routes. Between enemy waves, experience, minerals and upgrades are collected, while procedurally generated caves continuously create new routes and chokepoints.
Mission objectives mean runs are not just about survival: mining, returning to the Drop Pod and deciding which resources or risks to take along are part of the core loop.

Classes, weapons and builds
The well-known Dwarf archetypes are implemented in Survivor as standalone classes with different weapon pools and build directions. Weapons, overclocks and tag synergies can be combined so that runs take on very different focuses – from area control through projectile chains to close-range or status builds.

Progress and mission structure
Runs are divided into several stages. Players who complete mission objectives and extract unlock long-term upgrades, new weapon options and additional challenges. Survivor thus combines short-term build decisions within a run with permanent meta progression.

Game series
Survivor is set in the same Hoxxes universe as Deep Rock Galactic, but is not a co-op spin-off in the classic sense. It takes over class fantasy, weapons, creatures and mining as recognizable features and translates them into a single-player-oriented top-down format.
