Is Cosmodrill worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who want a short space adventure with mining and combat
- Exploration fans who enjoy uncovering hidden structures across hazardous environments
- Players who prefer progression through equipment upgrades rather than a long campaign
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long campaign may reach the end after roughly 2 hours of main-story content
- Players wanting extensive replay value may find the optional content and Mission Mode limited to roughly 3 additional hours combined
- Players looking for a primarily peaceful mining game may bounce off the hostile ships, alien wildlife, and other combat encounters
Our take on Cosmodrill
The likely bounce point is the campaign’s compact scale: players expecting a long-form space exploration game may finish the main story in roughly 2 hours. Those seeking additional play can explore optional content and Mission Mode, but the listed scope remains limited.
What is Cosmodrill?
Cosmodrill combines planetary mining, ship upgrades, exploration, and combat in a short space adventure.
Players drill through planets and asteroids to collect resources, then spend them on improvements that increase digging depth, travel range, and survival capacity. The story follows a miner transported to an unfamiliar star system after activating a mysterious device. Following emergency transmissions leads to occupied space stations, hostile ships, and alien structures hidden below planetary surfaces and within black holes. Five biomes present hazards including lava, volcanoes, alien wildlife, and electrically charged plasma. The main story takes roughly 2 hours, optional exploration adds roughly 2 more hours, and Mission Mode adds roughly 1 hour.
