Digging into a debt-fueled mining job
DIG Raiders puts you in the boots of a contractor buried in debt who bought a mysterious plot of land where an alien spacecraft crashed beneath the city. Where most people saw an apocalypse, you saw a jackpot. The plan is simple: grab a pickaxe, plant explosives, and blast your way down through 9 underground levels hunting for aliens and hidden treasures. The digging is the core loop — you carve tunnels, haul out loot, and use what you find to dig even further. Along the way you'll run into wacky quests with absurd, silly writing, so the tone stays light even when the work gets heavy.
Playing together with your group
You can go it alone or team up in 1-4 player co-op for the story mode, splitting the work of exploring, blasting, and extracting. Aliens you catch aren't just trophies — put them to work doing the heavy lifting and running your industrial zone, where they produce resources and feed into fully automated assembly lines. Those resources then go toward building up Entertainment Street and growing your operation. When your group wants something more competitive, the 4v4 Treasure Hunt mode lets teams race each other to pull off extractions with their loot. And if the co-op mood fades, you can ditch the job entirely and start an all-out brawl against your friends.
What to know before you start
Expect a mix of genres rather than one clean category: mining simulation, exploration, extraction, and alien encounters, with horror and survival elements in the mix. Equipment matters — you collect loot, upgrade gear, and unlock new playable characters as you go. There are 7 animal suits to choose from, each giving stat boosts to things like movement speed, HP, and damage, so suit choice changes how you play. Physics play a role in the digging and explosives, so tunnels and blasts behave with some weight to them. Whether you're hunting treasure, tasing aliens, or trying to get rich, the game wants you to just start digging.
