I don't often write reviews, but I've been playing this game and it really clicked for me this time (not that it wasn't fun before) but it's amazing, the community the devs are what you are looking for in any game wholesome and do an amazing job. Sure there is some cosmetic DLC but really besides being cool af I buy them to support the devs, there are an insane amount of free cosmetics you really don't need to buy the dlc's but I urge you to do so to support the devs.

I moved from DBD due to the toxicity and this game is a breath of fresh air it's the complete opposite of modern gaming, it isn't microtransactioned from hell, it doesn't shove a ton of bs down your throat like ad's etc. You can really tell the devs car about this game.

Game play is simply amazing, all 4 classes are useful in their own way and for the most part none of them are useless for any of the mission types they all fit really well. It's a horde shooter you shoot bugs and do various missions, protect a drilling platform as it moves through the level (not as bad as those escort missions in most games), a protect the site, kill big stronk bug, mine x amount of material etc. From there you can get various modifiers when doing said missions, everything is randomly generated so no map is the same over and over again just specific environments you can play that have reoccurring stuff like fauna, bug types, etc. The caves that you go into also vary in length of the mission and complexity which can be very interesting I had a complex one today that I really loved the layout it just was so fun to move around in. So..many...upgrades...and cosmetics.

If that doesn't sell you you can drink beer inbetween missions with your fellow dwarves and so many voicelines for various things you do in mission and in your main hub that are hilarious. The community is so wholesome and has it's little fun quirks like you gotta respond to "ROCK AND STONE" with your own ROCK AND STONE, buying everyone a round of beers before/after missions, it's crazy how players respect each other when ordering supplies there are 4 slots to fill ammo and health you'll often see people take 1 to leave it for the other players so you don't often run into supply/ammo hogs, the amount of help each class gives each other too is just so good, the engi and scout combo is chefs kiss.

Idk what I can really say about this game other than it's simply amazing, it's what modern gaming should be it's a beautiful work of art that doesn't ask you to pull out your wallet at every turn, you don't miss any cosmetics etc by joining "late" which FOMO is an issue I can have at times, that cool hate/beard/etc you can acquire have no fear! Even if you play alone you get a little robot to help you mine, fight in combat, and even revive you so you aren't truly alone if you are more of a solo player but once in awhile try opening it up and play with others this is one of the best communities I've ever come across.
