Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is a shoot 'em up video game by Funday Games. It is a top down spin-off of the first-person shooter Deep Rock Galactic modeled on the auto-shooter Vampire Survivors. The player controls a dwarf on a solo mission to mine ore, shooting enemies and ultimately defeating a boss at the end of each level in order to gain experience and increase their weapon's power. Funday began developing the game after discussing Vampire Survivors with the CEO of Ghost Ship Games at the 2022 Gamescom convention. It was released into early access on Windows on February 14, 2024. The game fully released on September 17, 2025 on Windows and Xbox Series X/S.
Runs well on modern hardware.

The game is fun, kills time, has a learning curve that can always be improved. The DLC introduced some very annoying bugs, which are untouched for months without a single update and a lot of bug reported on discord already. Sounds like a cash grab and abandon project.
Its well past its 1.0 launch, but i still get random fps-lag spikes and slowdown while playing normally, i have a 9950x3d and 64gigs of 6000mhz gskill ram. That shouldn't happen at this stage of the game no matter what the overheads are. exploding bugs causing deaths is extremely frustrating, this game is much more unforgiving than other roguelites, and you often don't get much for your efforts if you do not complete the mission. Getting "good" is a large pain, its not an inherently bad thing, but it bugs me quite alot.
Few Roguelites capture you as well as this game does. An outstanding gaming experience for the cost.
