![Update 7 Gameplay | Morkite Extraction | Deep Rock Galactic
REUPLOAD: the video quality was messed up on the last one for unexplained reasons.
The second gameplay video is here and well go through a full Search & Extract mission in the first early access version of the game.
Next gameplay video should be the juicy stuff, but it would be wise to expect some classifieds before we get to it.
