About the Game
DEEP ROCK GALACTIC: ROGUE CORE is a spinoff of Deep Rock Galactic with a roguelite twist. The roguelite element means you start each mission with only the most basic equipment, and cooperatively build up powers, weapons and abilities as you go. Each run requires you to think on your feet and work with your team to put together the most powerful builds you can.

All deep mining operations on Hoxxes have suddenly gone dark. An enormous transient disturbance has cut off all contact with our dig sites. Ever since The Grayout, nothing gets in or out.
The Deep Rock Galactic Corporation needs our mining facilities secured and operational immediately. Conventional measures don’t seem to be working.
That’s why we’re sending in the Reclaimers.

The Reclaimers are Deep Rock Galactic’s elite security force. Planetary mining is a dangerous business, after all. The pickaxe is a noble tool, but there are times when it must become a weapon.
Throughout the years, the Company has called on the Reclaimers when a situation requires a little applied force. When negotiations aren’t an option. When all else fails.
Join the Reclaimers and experience a new arsenal of advanced weaponry, cutting-edge equipment and experimental biomedical enhancements available only to the Company’s finest.
Find out why the Reclaimers get sent in when nobody else can do the job.

We’re sending you down to the lowest depths the Company has ever reached. These subterranean landscapes are largely uncharted territory. We’re counting on you to gather critical intel on these extreme environments close to the planet's core.
The Grayout Barrier disables most of our technology on contact, so you’ll be heading in with only your pickaxe. You’ll have to scrounge any weapons and equipment you can find within the mining facility, and craft enhancements by harvesting the wunder-mineral Expenite.

You’ll need to rely on your wits and weaponry. Collect guns, gear and personal upgrades along the way, and wield your game-changing Reclaimer Gauntlers in the heat of battle. Build your arsenal on the fly, experiment with lethal new combinations and get stronger as you go.
Down here, swift decisions and unflinching force are your keys to survival. Fight through the mines and pacify any resistance you may encounter. Time is of the essence – the longer you stick around, the higher the pressure.
You’ll be deployed in teams of four operatives, and close cooperation is essential. Work together, or die alone.

The inhospitable depths of Hoxxes are home to a horrific new class of creature: the Corespawn. We don’t know much about them, but one thing is certain: these creatures are more aggressive, resilient and intelligent than anything we’ve encountered before.
Management considers the Corespawn to be a critical threat to our continued operations. Confront and dispatch them with extreme prejudice.

Coming back alive is only the beginning. Build, upgrade, and master your craft to make your Reclaimer a legend of the deep.
Extensive class customization, character progression, endless build combinations and infinite depths of procedurally-generated caves make for limitless mayhem.
No two missions are alike – Dive, dig, and dive again.

Think you’ve got what it takes to brave the depths? Wishlist Rogue Core and contact a local Reclaimers recruiting station today.
THE RESOLUTE. THE RELENTLESS. THE RECLAIMERS.

Hello Reclaimers,
We are all hands on deck with Update 1 (preview HERE), so this is a rather small patch.
It contains some tweaks to the session system and serverlist that should make things better for those who have been having trouble seeing the serverlist / joining lobbies, and a few crash fixes.
With love,
The Ghost Ship Crew
--- PATCH NOTES ---
- Adjusted session system to be able to handle connections better in all regions.
- Fixed a bug where the Falcon sometimes didn't listen and chose violence instead of reviving.
- Fixed some crashes related to the Workbench, the weapon selection pool, and weapon negotiation.

Hello Reclaimers,
Coming in hot with day one (day two? not sure. Thursday in any case) a few patch fixes as mentioned in this post.
With love,
- The Ghost Ship crew
--- PATCH NOTES ---
\
Tutorial post-processing effects: Reduced default levels of aberration and toned down ‘pulse’ effect.
Made it so that enabling Photosensitivity Mode disables pulse effect.
Added a prompt drawing attention to the photosensitivity mode at the start of the tutorial
Made the Workbench Toolbox larger on Terrain Scanner to increase visibility
\
Added better default sorting to server list to prevent many players trying to join the same servers at the same time.
Added a better fix so we only ping the server list every 60 seconds while still doing updates every 15, so the server list keeps being responsive
Limited frequency with which Discord checks whether you have joined our Discord server (Used to check every 5 seconds, now checks every 60 seconds), reducing server strain
Fixed an issue with joining via Steam while already in an active server. By postponing the destruction of the game connection until a join is successfully made, this should resolve the issue of a disconnect happening while joining the other server. For players, this looked like getting stuck in black screen for a minute.
Fixed the host’s server list lobby not updating itself in the server list in rare cases
\[DIFFICULTY TWEAKS]
Extended the time before Critical Threat Level on Depth 1 by 10%
Extended the time before Critical Threat Level on Depth 2 by 5%
Tweaked the enemy spawn cycle for elevator defense sequence to give players more space to recover and repair
Slowed down the rate at which enemy spawns increase when you hit Critical Threat Level
Smoothed out the stage difficulty increase on Depths 1
\[CRASH/BUG FIXES]
Temporarily disabled frame generation due to it crashing the game during loading screens. We will bring it back later after we have time to investigate and fix the issues.
Fixed a crash on shutdown where the online service hasn't finished some calls to the backend, causing the final returns to attempt to use a deleted object
Fixed players getting stuck mining if they were mining when the upgrade negotiations start.
Fixed interactions breaking if player ability is active when upgrades negotiation starts, which made it so you sometimes couldn’t interact with objects
A bunch of smaller and some big crash fixes
\
Added 3 new tracks to the jukebox: blues, jazz, jungle (We need jungle, I’m afraid)

Hello Reclaimers,
The day has come to take back Hoxxes.
DEEP ROCK GALACTIC: ROGUE CORE is officially out in Early Access right now, right here on Steam!
We’ve just premiered the brand-new Launch Trailer on YouTube, and you can also watch it right down below:
A special discount for DRG owners
We’ve set it up so that everyone who already owns Deep Rock Galactic can get a discount on Rogue Core.
To get that 10% discount, you’ll need to buy Rogue Core via the Deep Rock Galactic x Rogue Core Bundle here on Steam. That way, Steam automatically applies the “complete the bundle” discount, knocking a couple bucks off for you. If you just purchase Rogue Core right through the Steam page, that discount won’t automatically apply — though Steam should flag it, and ask if you’d rather buy via the bundle option instead.
You can find that bundle option a little lower down on Rogue Core's Steam store page.
NOTE - If you're not seeing it yet, Steam may need a moment to register the bundle and set it live. Try refreshing the page.
Updated FAQ, and new roadmap incoming
You’ll find a fresh new FAQ over on the Rogue Core Steam page, updated to address the most common questions we’ve been seeing about the game in its launch state.
Along with that, we’re nearly done with the new Early Access Living Roadmap! You can expect to see it within a day or two. Keep your eyes peeled for that to get some idea of the direction and ambitions we’ve got for Rogue Core in the coming months.
We’re very excited to hear what you think of the game, and even more excited to see how Rogue Core grows and develops from here. Thanks for your interest and support on the road that led us here. <3
If you’d like to connect with other Reclaimers to discuss the game, or if you’d like to share feedback with us, the best places to do that are:
- On the official DRG Discord server
- On the Rogue Core subreddit
- On our weekly dev streams on Youtube and Twitch
And while the game downloads, you can brush up on these quick Rogue Core survival tips.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2605790/view/676246109700491302?l=english
We’ll see you aboard the Ramrod, Reclaimer. Rock and Stone.
With love,
-The Ghost Ship crew
