A top-down view of gameplay from a sci-fi action game, showing a heavily armored dwarf-like character in the center firing weapons in a cave swarming with insectoid aliens. Bright muzzle flashes and damage numbers (65, 98, 146) fill the screen as enemies crowd in. Glowing crystals and mineral nodes line the cavern walls. At the top, mission text reads “DRAW OUT THE ELITE” with a secondary objective “COLLECT BOOLO CAP 3/12.” A green radar minimap is visible in the upper left, and the player’s health bar (HP 219/225) with weapon icons is displayed along the bottom.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor—the rogue-like bullet hell auto-shooter spin-off of DRG—has just blasted out of Early Access and into full release on Steam.
