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.
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!
...but in a GOOD WAY.
Visually this game is splendid, but in some of the more hectic areas with 50 or 60 enemies visible on the screen, it does stutter slightly, which can be quite annoying, and really remove you from the experience.
Apart from that one small gripe, the only other issue (with the latest Steam build anyway) is difficulty level ramps up too quickly and randomly. I played the previous version for days on end, and sometimes the lack of challenge was frustrating, but you got more than 5min of play before being horrifically dismembered - sometimes by a hoard of enemies... Maybe I am just sh*t at this game :-)
The rest of this game is sheer perfection. It contains about 5 genres in one, but does it so well, you would barely notice. I have stalled many times, tossing up which power up to buy, all the while fighting off endlessly spawning enemies.
I play this game AT LEAST ONCE A DAY... this is from someone who would has never played a roguelike, or point-and-click game in my life. I have certainly never played a turn-based strategy game before either. This game finds the perfect mid-point between arcade platformer, and strategy roguelike. Fun for Mario fans, and even enjoyable for Diablo fans!
Only the screen stuttering and insane difficulty with the most recent build, stops this getting 5 stars from me.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
