## What is Deep Rock Galactic?

Welcome, Survivor! 
DEEP ROCK GALACTIC: SURVIVOR is a single player survivor-like auto-shooter. Take on hordes of lethal aliens, mine riches, and unlock powerful upgrades to survive, as you wield the full arsenal of Deep Rock Galactic. It's one dwarf against all of Planet Hoxxes!

REVERSE BULLET HELL, WITH MINING
Kill bugs, upgrade your gear, and delve ever deeper into the lethal caves of Hoxxes. Collect and assemble a devastating array of guns, unleash hell upon wave after wave of alien monsters in fast and frenetic combat, and tunnel your way to collect precious riches from deep within the cave walls. With the auto-shooter gameplay, you don’t worry about aiming and firing – just run and mine for your life, as you automatically blast away.

Each mission is entirely unique with its own procedural cave generation and enemy waves, just as you've come to know from Deep Rock Galactic.

COMPLETE MISSION OBJECTIVES TO BECOME STRONGER
Dig deep, Miner! Once the Drop Pod releases you into the oppressive darkness, you’re on your own. Complete the mission objectives set forth by the Company, and make it back to the Drop Pod in time to try your luck at even more deadly and lucrative encounters. Progress deeper and deeper into the planet while you grow ever stronger, survive all the way to the very end of your assignment, and finally get extracted alongside your hefty sack of loot.

DEEP ROCK, FROM A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE
Now you can explore the Deep Rock Galactic universe in a whole new single-player-focused experience! Play each mission from a top-down perspective, navigating the caves of Hoxxes as you've never seen them before, soaking it up through nonstop auto-shooter action. Greybeard Deep Rock veterans will recognize much from Deep Rock Galactic, and if you are a recently joined Greenbeard: Welcome all the same! We are thrilled to have you on board. You will like it here. Management requires it.

### 5/5 — Great Mobile Game From One Of My Current Fav Game Series

*2026-08-13*

I just installed this game because I’ve heard quite a bit about it + I’m slowly becoming a big DRG fan. And at first, it seemed like your average “swarm shooting game” which made me a bit disappointed at first. But after giving the game enough time, it’s actually very fun to play and has it’s own unique features that sets it apart from most other generic “swarm shooting games” on the App Store. So far 10/10 and heavily considering buying the full version, especially while it’s on sale!

Update About A Unfair Bug: So I bought the full game and I’m enjoying it a lot. But theres a *very* annoying bug I want to point out. So about the Dreadnought twins, specifically the Arbalest, normally it’s supposed to run away from you to keep its distance if you approach it so it can, y’know continue to shoot projectiles at you. But sometimes, I have these absurdly unfair scenarios where the Arbalest just randomly decides to SPRINT at my character at an absurd speed that my character cannot outrun ( even if i upgrade my speed stats its still always faster :/ ) , and it doesn’t stop doing this until my character dies. It’s a REALLY unfair bug and I would like to ask Ghost Ship Games if this can be fixed. Please and thank you.

### 5/5 — Tolle Portierung

*2026-08-12*

Ich hab das Spiel schon auf Steam, läuft auf dem IPhone perfekt, super für unterwegs :)

### 1/5 — Too many bugd

*2026-08-10*

There are too many bugs with the game. A lot of weapons are not working the way it supposed to. For example, all grenade type weapon does not throw grenade properly at the later level. 

Acid corrosive pump with multiple beams do not shoot readily at later stage. 

It seems like the only weapon that is realiable is actually the one that shoots bullets. I will be making a refund

### 3/5 — Attention jeu ADICTIF + 10€

*2026-08-09*

Sympa au débuts mais c’est très vite la même chose, puis c’est basé sur de le gratification instantanée donc on se prend des shoots de dopamine tout le long… je ne recommande pas ce jeux. C’était marron 3 parties après ça devient trop addictif, principalement car c’est trop facile. Le jeux complet coûte 10€ aussi.
C’est une machine à fric pour les dev au lieu d’être un jeu avec de l’âme.

### 4/5 — Backbone support please

*2026-08-08, version 1.2.6*

Great game but need controller support

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-08-05, version 1.2.6*

Super love this game bros

### 4/5 — Vampire survivors 2.0

*2026-07-28, version 1.2.6*

Pretty much just vampire survivors 2.0

### 5/5 — good times

*2026-07-26, version 1.2.6*

this game is fun but it makes me angry. so often do I get to the final boss and then die. occasionally even dying after the final boss but before getting to the drop pod. i think touch controls has a lot to do with that. the demolisher in particular is super hard to control well on mobile with no controller. but still 5/5

### 3/5 — Game is fine, paywalls are not

*2026-07-25, version 1.2.6*

Why on earth did I pay $18 for the game and I don’t even get all the content? Why are there skins still locked behind a paywall? Get real guys this is silly.

### 5/5 — ROCK AND STONE!

*2026-07-24, version 1.2.6*

Easily one of the best mobile ports I have ever played. 

Incredibly addicting. 

Runs flawlessly on my iPhone 15 Plus, battery drain is barely noticeable, can play for long sessions without any overheating.
