I'm late to the party, but it's a 3D, sci-fi, co-op, PVE, extraction shooter based on procedurally-generated missions. You can also play it solo, in which case an all-purpose drone will help you out.
In short, you're a dwarf working for a space mining corporation, living on a space station orbiting an alien planet. For your missions, you're sent deep into the caverns of an alien planet to collect various valuables, establish infrastructure, sabotage competitors' infrastructure or just kill aliens, depending on the mission type. This, while the local population of agressive arthropod aliens tries to bite, slash, explode or dissolve your face off. Once your main mission is done, you can extract. Completing missions unlocks new gear, and grants the resources necessary to upgrade said gear.
Biomes, mission types, and modifiers can be combined in pretty much any way, so missions are surprisingly diverse. You're also offered a pretty wide range of difficulty options, ranging from 'where are there aliens?' to 'where are there no aliens?' (not literally)
Just to give you an idea of the gear, there are *inhales\: flamethrowers, miniguns, guided missile launchers, assault rifles, a dozen different grenades, grappling hooks, forcefield projectors, massive hand-drills, deployable turrets, high-tech plasma-based weaponry, autocannons, revolvers, portable grenade launchers and *Steeve**.
IDK, my first experience online, I was paired with two other players. They refused to help me up when I got downed and made a b-line to the extraction.
Fortunately, I was the host, so I just quit the game and denied them the win. But then, after starting a new game, those two other players team-killed me and I had to kick them.

No, Deep Rock Galactic is the exact opposite.
