The verdict
A hugely loved co-op dwarf mining shooter with procedural caves, a wholesome community and fair monetization. Skip it if repetitive mission loops bother you or you want steady new content.
Great for
Groups of friends who want chaotic, teamwork-heavy co-op with beer, bugs and procedurally generated caves
Main risk
Missions feel repetitive after a few dozen hours, and the main game is seen as neglected
What players love
Excellent class-based co-op teamwork
Mentioned in ~1 in 6 positive reviews
“The co-op is where it really shines. Every class actually feels useful, so instead of fighting over who gets to be the main character, you’re all just equally responsible for the inevitable disaster.”
