Ground Divers Is a Dig Dug Style Game.. With RPG Systems Built In – IGN Expo 2022

ByNews Polite

IGN Expo saw the reveal of Ground Divers, a brand new game in the style of classic arcade game Dig Dug – but filled to the brim with systems more familiar from an RPG. It arrives for Nintendo Switch on June 30.

Described as a “slapstick discovery game”, Ground Divers sees you guide the rabbit-like mining robot Tsuruhashi into increasingly complex mine shafts of your own creation. The game sees you not just digging for “rare matter”, but fighting off underground enemies, building Pit Relay Systems to help offer upgrades and supporting units along the way, and more.

Both Tsuruhashi and your home base can be upgraded over time, lending it something of the feel of XCOM. There are even special moves built in for cheering on Tsuruhashi enough. It looks truly unusual, and markedly different from anything out there right now.

This was just one of dozens of announcements and trailers revealed during IGN Expo 2022 – make sure to check them all out.
