About Risk of Rain Returns

✦ AI summary

Risk of Rain Returns is a roguelike where you battle through waves of aliens on a hostile planet, collecting loot to unlock wild item combinations that drastically change how you play. With 15 unique survivors, online co-op for up to four players, and tons of customizable artifacts that mutate each run, every playthrough offers fresh synergies and surprises.

Carefully designed, beautifully remastered, and loaded with new ways to play—Risk of Rain is back and better than ever! Dive into the iconic roguelike full of unique loot combinations, entirely new Survivors, overhauled multiplayer, and more!Hone your skills and abilities, discover new Survivors, and dive into progressively stronger runs! Discover secrets of ancient design lying dormant beneath the surface of Petrichor V. Search under every log, stone, and Gup to find new ways to play!Many Survivors fled the mysterious attack on your ship. Slice, dice, and serve justice cold with the return of Chef, hold the front line and shield your team as Enforcer, or lay down a path of toxic sludge as everybody’s favorite purple monster: Acrid! Forge new paths to explore with 15 unique Survivors, each with new abilities to master. Two entirely new Survivors are making their debut in Risk of Rain Returns.

Also introducing The Drifter! This resourceful brawler gathers scrap from conquered foes and can spawn items that temporarily empower teammates. She can also take them for herself and unleash an unbridled blaze of area-wide destruction. The Drifter is the perfect addition to any group of Survivors. Her ability to support the team while laying down her own brand of hurt will prove she’s more than just a stowaway.Drop to the surface solo or with your crew! Choose Survivors that complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, or go wild and choose whoever has the largest guns (spoiler: it’s Loader). With up to four-player online and couch co-op, you’re not alone in this fight.

Risk of Rain Returns features new and improved multiplayer services to ensure the only thing that gets between your crew’s survival are the ever-growing hordes on Petrichor V.Fight your way to the surface while uncovering precious cargo. These items serve as your redemption, helping you move faster, deal more damage, or jump a little higher. Still others empower you in more dramatic ways—like the rare Ukulele, which empowers your attacks with electrifying music.

If explosions are what you’re after, hunt down the Brilliant Behemoth and watch as even your most mundane attacks erupt in a barrage of beautiful blasts. The magic comes in the unpredictable combinations you create. Exploding chain lightning is only the beginning of your frenetic masterpiece!The denizens of Petrichor V are as diverse as the many planets they once called home. As these monsters approached extinction on their own worlds, a mysterious force brought them to Petrichor V. The planet quickly grew to be a menagerie of the most dangerous monsters in the galaxy, and they’re not thrilled by interlopers (aka YOU).Variety is the spice of destruction. Select from more than 10 Artifacts that each mutate your run! Perhaps you’d like to start with a random equipment item that changes every time it’s used, or maybe you’d like to experience a rampant Imp invasion every 10 minutes. Play around with combinations of Artifacts and discover exciting new ways to play.

Very, very fun remaster of the original Risk of Rain (2013):tm: Along with the more detailed graphics, the game also gives quite a bit of customization with how you want your runs to go. Artifacts, increasing/decreasing damage taken/given, whether to enable certain mechanics in the game, it's very nice. The new additions to the roster is also great. Artificer, Pilot, and Drifter being the new survivors to play around with. [spoiler] and also the super secret one ooooooh so secret [/spoiler] also yes the music is good

This game is one of my hyperfixations. I love it, in spite of the hordes of magma worms. I enjoy sinking hours into it, building my skill level, learning which items are best to get and in which order, and learning how to use the survivors to the fullest. In spite of the magma worms. One of my favourite survivors is acrid, who is a big mutated acidic lizard who looks like he'd either really enjoy belly rubs or rip me limb from limb. I enjoy playing as him in spite of the fact that he struggles to deal with the magma worms and most of my runs with him die to magma worms. He is the goodest boi. I need to go outside and touch grass, where there are no magma worms, but instead I stay here and keep playing. Despite the magma worms...

One of the greatest, if not, THE GREATEST indie game of all time. This definitive release is the only good Risk of Rain game left to play and a permanent installation on any computer. Somehow Gearbox didn't ruin this release despite taking a massive dump on Risk of Rain 2 after they acquired the IP. We never got more than 60fps on this one despite them saying they were working on it after launch. But 60fps locked is the Gold standard, and it does so flawlessly. The definitive Risk of Rain experience. Highly recommend.

Honestly if you’re gonna play Risk of Rain 2013 get this one. It’s like DS2 vs Scholar of the First Sin. Why get DS2 when Scholar is infinitely better. Plus it can run on a potato pc without blowing it up like RoR2. Great for passing time with friends or if you’re like me and play games alone like a bum. And with stat modifier sliders you can make the game extra masochistic just how its meant to be played. Edit: RoR 2013 is still a good game I’ve played it on playstation. Just needed to clarify.
