Description
Risk of Rain is an action platformer with roguelike elements. With permanent death as a primary feature, players will have to play their best to get as far as possible. Fight on a mysterious planet with randomly spawning enemies and bosses, either alone or with 3 friends in online co-op. With over 100 items at your disposal, you will find the tools you need to find the teleporter back home. Discover a myriad of randomly chosen stages, from the desolate forest to the frozen tundra.
  • Risk of Rain is a randomly generated roguelike game that keeps replayability high and fresh.
  • Time = difficulty. The higher the in-game time gets, the harder the difficulty gets. Keeping a sense of urgency keeps the game exciting!

While frustrations will arise, they're quickly subsided by accomplishment, joy, and amazement that you were really able to live for that long against seemingly insurmountable odds.

Whatever downsides Risk of Rain has are absolutely outweighed by the many things the game does right. The gameplay is refreshing and fun, the graphics are charming, the setting is unique, the music is pleasant to listen to. On top of all of this, there's a slew of unlocks on offer that make the game an achievement-addict's dream, and each of the ten available classes (which, I stress, require unlocking in order to acquire) are wonderfully distinct, giving Risk of Rain some serious replay value.

I like it.

I played through the game and beat it for the first time a few days ago. I felt like I was having no luck at all at the game until I spontaneously unlocked the engineer and crushed the game with him. It is difficult. I had to retry over and over and over. Classes also seem to unlock slowly unless you are very good at the game (I'm not). I feel like the end game is a little absurd in number of enemies and upgrades, and it kind of stops being the same game, but it is not enough to turn me off.

Really great game

Risk of rain combines rouge game attributes with common run and gun attributes. Providing a game that allows one to level up and get items in a small setting, while still providing a challenge every play through.

Buggy mess, unplayable

Crashes constantly. I can only play for a few minutes before the game crashes. Do not buy.
