Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 3 days agoProgression is slower than other survivor games, but they have increased the pace and added a mechanic with gear drops, which smooths out the curve. All in all it’s one of the top survivor games i’ve played. I would place Vampire Survivors (because of the huge amount of content) and Halls of Torment (because i absolutely love the style) above it, but for me DRG:S is a solid 3rd place (and i’ve played quite a lot of bullet heavens)

I take there’s permanent unlocks/stat improvements/etc? Is gear permanent or per run? Surely the dwarves don’t enter the levels unprepared? :D
To me Vampire Survivors started to get a bit obtuse with some unlock requirements (have skills x, y, z, survive this certain level this long, be at this exact place, possibly with a character C, have the hand towel on second hook… etc). I’d assume DRG:S is a bit more straightforward?
Have you perhaps played Soulstone Survivors? If you have, how does DRG compare?

Yes, there are meta upgrades; the gear is a parallel system to those upgrades.
And yes, things are more straightforward; you always get a few unlocks that you are close to shown at the start of a run.
I have Soulstone Survivors here, but didn’t have time to try it out yet, so i can’t say anything to compare the two.

You are entirely responsible for me wasting this weekend grinding DRG:S.
This one is pretty darn slick, thank you / [some degatory slur of your choice here] for giving me the push to get it.

I’m glad we’re both having a good time with that game.
