In a world full of fantasy and personality, there is a group of charismatics characters that remind me to the dwarfs of The Lord of the Rings, but if they were in a parallel and futuristic universe, full of giant insects btw 😂.

The history goes something like this: a group of dwarfs explores the universe looking for valuable minerals across the galaxy, going to different planets and facing all kind of crazy adventures. What all this adventures have in common is their main goal, finding the valuable minerals and a lot of times defeat insect colonies.

This games is multiplayer and cooperative, which makes it even more fun. You can form a group of up to four players to complete different missions assigned by an intergalactic mining company. It's not only the insects that will be against your group of miners, but also the environment itself. Storms, earthquakes and all kind of natural disasters will play a big role in any adventure.

This game has a great graphic experience and a lot of options for character customization, and I mean a lot!

And it's not just the armors and weapons as you can see in the image above, the facial hair combinations and styles for the characters are endless.

There are four main groups of characters you can be: You can be a gunner, engineer, driller or scout. Each one has different kind of abilities and plays a different role on the mining team.

Depending on your style of game you could excavate caves faster, build platforms, create zip lines. Each one has different combat abilities, the gunners for example have a great stopping power but have slower movements. The Engineer is more inclined towards defense building different structures like turrets.

Once the team collects all the required mineral a recovery capsule comes for the members of the team that make it on time.

By earning money completing missions you can improve your armor, weapons, tools and customize your character. Also while in the missions you will also have at your disposal a series of heavy weapons and technology gadgets to discover.

The overall game experience is really good and the dynamics of the collaborative play are pretty well balanced, every type of character plays an important role in completing the missions.

Although this game doesn't develop some profound narrative is visually appealing enough, and the dynamics are so fun that it makes want to spend hours and hours looking for minerals, facing insects and fighting for my life 😆.

This is a collaborative game with a somewhat light and fun tone, but it also requires some strategy and gaming skills, especially as you progress through the missions, really fun to spend some time with friends and have a really good time.

Have you tried this game? Let me know what you think about it!
