DRG Survivor is honestly a treat. I checked it out because I love Vampire Survivors style games, and I’ve always been a fan of Deep Rock Galactic on Xbox. As a dad, I download a lot of mobile games since I don’t always have time to fire up the good ol’ Xbox, so I’m always looking for something to scratch that itch. After a couple rounds, I went ahead and bought the full version. The trial really doesn’t show how deep the progression system goes, and I absolutely love it.The fact that it has portrait mode is a huge win for me playing with one hand is often a must when you’ve got little ones. I also tend to judge games by comparing their price to a movie ticket: did it entertain me longer than a movie? In this case, absolutely yes. I can see myself playing this for a long time.My only gripe is that the great graphics do hit the battery pretty hard.

Now that the game has mid run saves and is now possible to play on mobile, it really is a good game, lots to like. However the almost 50% crash rate as soon as you beat the final boss of a dive is unbearably frustrating. 3-4 patches in and it still happens consistently. At least no longer this means your entire run is wiped due to the saving, still means you have to play the last floor over, and I’m honestly not sure if it’s built in cheat protection, but around the 20x this game has crashed on that last boss kill, loading back into it has 100% of the time gave me nothing but the worst rolls possible, killing me multiple times or otherwise making it take way longer than on the initial run. All in all if the crashes get fixed, this is a very enjoyable Vampire Survivors clone.Also, the mobile UI needs desperate fixing, names equipment upgrading. No where does it tell you what it costs, what it does, and there is no way to compare equipment without unequipping both, and memorizing the stats. Auto equip also doesn’t take into account stats at all, just equipment level, which could overall be much worse even if higher.

“Why doesn’t even cost” and 2 stars for a review saying they’ve purchased it before on steam so they think it’s too expensive here…. Wow. Spoiled people thinking everything should be free. Anyway, the game is fantastic. Tons of replay ability and so far amazing content. One hand mobile controls are easy to use. Occasionally stutters on my phone but nothing so bad that it compromises the game at all. Great vampire survivor-like game. I’ve played about 6 hrs now and feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. For what it’s worth, some steam reviews show upwards of 150 hrs of play time. Pretty impressive that they’ve brought it to mobile. Pick it up, you’ll be happy you did. Rock and Stone!!!

I already love and play this game on Xbox and PC. It’s such a great Deeprock Galactic Spin on games like Vampire Survivor or Brotato. That said it’s got a buy the game feature, but I think that’s a PRO! This game is 100% WORTH $10 or more! The phone version of Brotato is SUPER annoying with ads.. and you can watch ads to reroll upgrades like 20+ times per round. Really ruins the gameplay. This one seems to have no ads? Going to keep playing to test more.I will say the graphics settings are set to auto by default and on my brand new iPhone 17 Pro it has hiccups and little lag spikes intermittently, but not often. Noticed it when elites were hatching from eggs and a couple other times. Hopefully that’s ironed out. SUPER FUN game! You can try it out for free, and if you like it, pay that $10
