I was telling a friend the other day that I've been playing this game with my kids at night - all co-op. And it's been fun, but I couldn't remember the name of the game because it was like all generic words like "Dwarf Space Mining" or something like that. I was sure it had dwarves and something mining related in the title. And I was wrong, but the title doesn't really evoke the dwarven parts of the game in the way I imagined. Weird how the game's title got so confused in my head.
It's been fun mostly because we're playing co-op and one of us (not me) knows what we're supposed to be doing. At this point I think we're mostly going through the "tutorial" missions that each introduce a different mission type (get this ore, or get these eggs, or fix this thing, etc.). I wonder how much fun we'll have once we've "unlocked" them all? The game seems a bit grindy - you level up each character class, unlock perks, improve your gear, etc. And you have to do this separately for each class - which feels like it would get boring real fast (for me at least) and also means that I'm less likely to try out the other classes because...I don't want to have to "start over"... So far I've played the driller/digger and the engineer class. The engineer is interesting but strange because you lay these turrets that shoot - which means you're then mostly sticking around the turrets (so no exploring/mining) and the game does involve a lot of moving around - so I find I place turrets and then move them along with me (which works quite well - they just fly over and then you build them again).
Mobility is a bit annoying - one of the dwarves has a grappling hook which is pretty sweet - but the other two have an ability (dig really fast or place outcroppings you can use as platforms) which is a lot slower and (IMO) interesting but also more boring given the general gameplay loop that tends to favor moving around (going deeper) and then moving back out (quickly, before you get left behind).
So, it's fun, I'm enjoying it, but a lot of that fun-load is being borne by the co-op...
