Planet Permadeath.

Risk of Rain, a procedurally generated action-packed platformer with brilliant, challenging gameplay and appealing retro graphics, in which time matters much more then winning, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $3.99 for the next 24 hours!

Personal log, entry 58-78. It's cold and dark in here. So cold, that I can feel it through my nanofiber suit. Strange alien monsters are roaming the place, dragging their claws in the dusty ground, clapping their jaws, red eyes flashing in the distance. I can hear them growl even through the thin atmosphere of poisonous gases. If it wasn't for the valuable artifacts there's no way I would've come here. I might be one of the toughest, meanest, deadliest people in the galaxy, but I swear--this planet will be the end of me. Well, that's enough yapping, time to get to work. End log.

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. With procedural content generation and a sense of urgency that keeps the game exciting, this one will keep you glued to the screen for a long time. You will be failing, especially at first, but the game will have you coming back for more and more!

Start your journey into the land of random risks and ever-ticking clock in Risk of Rain, for only $3.99! The 60% off Indie Gem Promo discount offer lasts until Thursday, April 10, at 9:59AM GMT.
Ah, beat it at last! I did it with my fave the Prisoner (AKA Acrid). I decided tonight that instead of racing for the teleports that I would just focus on fighting effectively, and in building up my power-ups. I've been thinking this was the way to go, but didn't dedicate myself to it until this playthrough. It was still a near thing, but with a Guardian Heart, a Mysterious Vial, and the Nematocyst, I was able to deal strategically with enemies instead of staying constantly in the line of fire.

Unlocked the Huntress and the Sniper in the process, so once I've recovered from this play (over 60 minutes), I've got two new characters to try.

Man alive is this a good game. :)

Congratulations! I can assure you that a Sniper is a very cool character. It takes some time to get use to him because you have to reload after every shot but if you master his skills you can deal massive damage - as I mentioned earlier - it's possible to kill a boss with a single shot!

I haven't checked Huntress yet, as for now I'll take a break from this game but definitely it's a very good game!
