How co-op works
Up to four online Reclaimers choose complementary classes before descending through the same timed mine run. Guardians restore armor, Falconers revive remotely, Spotters expose targets and supply ammunition, while the squad scavenges individual upgrades, reshapes destructible caves, and keeps moving before Reaperworms arrive.
About this game
Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core sends elite dwarven Reclaimers into hostile, procedurally-generated mining facilities overrun by the terrifying Corespawn. This is a true co-op FPS roguelite built for 1-4 players, blending the chaotic teamwork of the original Deep Rock Galactic with the high-stakes run structure of a roguelite.

Players fight through shifting alien horrors, scavenge resources, and push deeper into dangerous facilities with every run. The roguelite framework means each descent brings new surprises, build opportunities, and escalating threats that demand constant coordination with your squad. Communication and quick decision-making turn every encounter into a test of teamwork under pressure.
Online co-op is the core multiplayer mode, letting squads of up to four dwarves tackle each procedurally-generated facility together. Runs are intense, session-based, and built around the chemistry that emerges when a crew works together to survive impossible odds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core solo, or do I need a full team?

Is this a standalone game or DLC for the original Deep Rock Galactic?
Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core is a standalone game, not DLC. It takes the chaotic teamwork from the original and reimagines it as a co-op FPS roguelite with a run-based structure focused on the Reclaimers fighting Corespawn in mining facilities.
Does this game require a lot of communication and coordination?
Yes, communication and quick decision-making are central to the experience. The game is designed around teamwork under pressure, with encounters that demand constant coordination to survive the escalating threats and alien horrors you'll face.
