Rogue Core proves Deep Rock Galactic is the most malleable game of all time as it continues the dwarves' monopoly of genres (and my obsession)

For those who haven't seen the light, Deep Rock Galactic is a cooperative horde shooter involving a bunch of dwarves mining a planet for an uncaring mega corp. It's basically Left 4 Dead but instead of zombies, you're shooting bugs, and you've also got to collect materials. Dare I say it: DRG is the best co-op horde shooter.

But Deep Rock Galactic was just ground zero. Since then, these dwarves have gone on to infiltrate other genres and take their thrones too. This takeover started with Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, which is, you guessed it, DRG if it were Vampire Survivors. Like the main game, you can still dig paths through the environment and collect resources for upgrades, firmly setting itself apart from the rest of the genre. Plus, it's the perfect game for my ROG Ally, so I can play Deep Rock on the move (or, more commonly, in bed).
