Deep Rock questions and their answers:
*Is the game fun solo?
Of course, Bosco is a great sidekick! (about 20% of my 1200 hours is solo)

*Is the game fun coop?
Definitely, am yet to play a bad lobby with randoms, and with your buddies its unbeatable.

*Is there much grinding?
Maybe like 1% of the your play time if you really want something specific, most things you'll just unlock overtime from loot drops/class progression. The same goes for the rare resources in the game, doing missions across a variety of zones with passively boost your levels up as much as you'll probably need.

*Is there anything you don't like?
Very little honestly aside from the odd event, looking at you rockpox swarms. The randomised level generation can really screw you over sometimes but that's half the fun of deep rock, you never know what you're going to get!

*What are the different classes like?
Basically a play style for everyone.
Gunner lacks a little immediate mobility, though zip lines are super useful for big gaps. They make up for this with firepower, oh and the odd shield for your lesser squad mates to hide in. If you like sitting back and mowing things down definitely the class for you. My favourite build is the railgun with the mole overclock, very fun blasting bugs through walls.

Engineer is probably the most flexible class, pretty solid firepower, very good mobility with the platform gun, and probably the strongest grenade in the game. Sit back and relax with the smart rifle or get up in everything's face with a shotgun. Very versatile and the scouts best friend, hyper propellant and fatboy overclocks are very satisfying.

Driller is for those who like a little spice with their bugs. Want to burn them? You can do that. What to freeze them? You can do that. Want to melt them in acid? You can do that too. Want to amplify all of those effects? Strap a microwave to your hand and off you go. Found a big bug that isn't going down? Hello C4 my old friend, also leaves a nice crater to drop your gold into. Oh and they drill tunnels too I guess, definitely their secondary purpose on Hoxxes.

The scout, were to start, the amount of mobility is bonkers. With specific overclocks you can boost jump (ie fly across the level) like a soldier in TF2, you can hover on charging a shot, you've also got a grappling hook if that wasn't enough. With good timing all 3 can be used to negate fall damage. Not as much firepower as the other classes, lets face it the other 3 are a bit nuts, but still quite good damage and able to clear swarms without much issue. Oh right, the scouts main use, lots and lots of light, for everyone.

*What is the extra paid content/DLC like?
So far the only paid content is skin packs and supporter bundles, which give you more dwarf and weapon skins, cosmetics. Honestly worth getting with how cheap the game is. So far all 4 seasons of content have been free, and this is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.

*Should I buy this game?
Wait, you haven't already? Get to it miner, Rock and Stone!


**Side notes
Explore the space rig, robot bartender, rad tunes, few mini games, anti grav button, and enough barrels to send mission control down in the drop pod with you.
