Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor appears to draw significant inspiration from Vampire Survivors. Initially unveiled in November 2024, this Funday Games creation takes the form of a top-down auto-shooter, where players control characters that autonomously engage enemies. It became available for PCs and consoles earlier today.
