Risk of Rain

Great fun once I got over the initial hurdle. The only thing I don't like is games with unlockables - once I complete a game I uninstall it, so all that is gone and I have to start again next time I play it, maybe a year or two later. I'd much rather have an option to be able to unlock everything, so I could try out new characters I've not seen and so on. Also I totally missed the fact that after a few levels the teleporter offers a new destination - I pressed the same button on reflex, not seeing the small text change, and couldn't understand why I never got to the end of the game! Still, lovely game, but don't play it for too long without a break or your eyes will go funny.

An innovative and enjoyable game that rewards patience and persistence. However, online multiplayer (with all of the new dynamics it brings to the table) has been broken for a couple of years with no fix.

Sooo fun, and the music is so catchy and well made too. I love how you are always challenged to try harder as time goes on, combined with semi random environments and items, makes this game so addictive and fun to pick up and play. The presentation of this game is really cool also.

Risk of Rain along with DEADBOLT, which is also developed by Hoopo Games, are true at heart indie games. Everything about them is pure gold. They are made by truly artistic people. Just buy it and support developement for Risk of Rain 2!

This game is and excellent roguelike. Not that sissy "get that one item and you're unbeatable" nor that "you can spend 2 hours but will still not be unkillable", it has the perfect combination between which is needed for a roguelike. i can just hope, part 2 lands on gog someday.
