Deep Rock Galactic Rogue Core. Why are we mentioning that? DRG Rogue Core Close Apha Playtest is available now.

What DRG Rogue Core Closed Alpha Playtest is

At the first glance DRG Rogue Core may seem quite similar to the original game. They both feature the same universe in which you take control over a dwarf who descends into mines and fights against dangerous creatures. However, RC is more focused on combat, as you are no longer a miner, which has to reach quota. You are doing black ops job (you still need to mine Expenite to buy upgrades, though). It means that you will have to eliminate the threat to the corporation. It will not always be monsters, sometimes you will be disposing of evidence. The game is a cooperative shooter with roguelike elements.

Like all playtests, the DRG Rogue Core Closed Alpha is here to get from players. There was a chance to get access to it through Triple-i showcase postshow.

Can I get access to DRG Rogue Core Closed Alpha Playtest

Yes and no. The wording of the announcements suggests that the recruitment for this playtest is closed (there will be more in the future, though). However, at the same time, developers implemented a feature allowing players who get access to invite one friend to the playtest. It can be buggy right now, as the team themselves try to figure out how it works.

To be honest, we’re not sure we fully understand this feature, so bear with us if we goof it. But the hope is that all those first selected for access will get an option to send one additional playtest invite to someone from their friends list. That invited friend doesn’t get to send another invite, though, so it won’t spread forever. It’s just like a +1 sort of thing.

So, if you have a friend who was lucky, they may share the happiness with you. If you and your friends are equally unlucky, you can always watch developers’ stream on which they present and talk about the game.

However, if you were fortunate enough to get access to this playtest, you will automatically be entitled to take part in others, too. Sadly, you will not be notified about the next tests. You must be vigilant. Follow the game on Steam or become a part of its Discord community.
