DRG Rogue Core Alpha is live. All you need to know about closed playtest and access to it

by

Deep Rock Galactic, often referred to as DRG among friends, stands out as one of the most well-known cooperative games. Day by day, countless individuals transform into mineral-seeking dwarves. It’s no surprise that the team at Ghost Ship Games continues to expand the brand and experiment with different genres. Following the release of DRG Survivor (currently in early access), Deep Rock Galactic Rogue Core is now on the horizon. We bring this up because the Alpha playtest for DRG Rogue Core is accessible right now.

What DRG Rogue Core Closed Alpha Playtest is

Initially, DRG Rogue Core might appear very much like its predecessor. You assume command over a dwarf venturing into mines to combat perilous creatures. But unlike the original, where you were a miner striving to meet production quotas, Rogue Core is centered more on combat missions. Instead of being a miner, you’re now executing covert operations (albeit requiring Expenite mining for upgrades). This involves neutralizing threats to the corporation. Not every threat will be monstrous; sometimes, you might be tasked with disposing of incriminating evidence. It is a cooperative shooter that incorporates roguelike aspects.

Just like other playtests, DRG Rogue Core aims to gather input from gamers. Through Steam’s request access feature, there was an opportunity for players to gain access, but not everyone was granted it. As the developers emphasize, this is their initial and smallest playtest, yet it marks the beginning of many more to come. In the future, we can anticipate other tests that will be accessible to a broader audience. If you have further questions, you may find answers in the FAQ video featuring the development team.

Can I get access to DRG Rogue Core Closed Alpha Playtest

The announcement implies that this particular playtest recruitment has been completed, but there will likely be more in the future. Interestingly, the developers have included a feature enabling players who gain access to invite one friend to join the current playtest, albeit with some bugs as they work out the kinks themselves.

Let me clarify, we might need some time to grasp this new feature fully. Please be patient with us if we stumble along the way. Essentially, once you’re chosen for access, there will be an opportunity for you to extend one extra playtest invite to a friend from your contacts list. This invited individual can’t pass on the invitation further, so it won’t propagate indefinitely. It’s very much like being able to bring one additional person along with you.

In essence, if your friend experiences good fortune, they might generously let you in on their joy. On the other hand, should you and your companions find yourselves on an unlucky streak, a consoling alternative could be to tune into a developer’s live stream where they showcase and discuss the game together.

If by chance you manage to secure entry into this playtest, you’ll have the privilege to participate in future ones as well, but keep in mind that you won’t receive notifications about upcoming tests. To stay informed, I recommend keeping an eye on the game on Steam or joining its Discord community. Stay alert!
