at this point the only reason you should buy this game over rorr is to play with mods on rainfusion. still a goated game tho

March 2025

Amazing game, very addicting, great soundtrack, great pixel art, you can cook enemies, 11/10

Sept. 2024

Still really fun. Only now in 2024 did I unlock all the characters for the first time and there are so many cool ideas there... but yeah this game is hard and everything is time-sensitive. If you have too much anxiety dealing with timebased challenges, maybe just play it on easy difficulty i guess. Also try playing it with a controller.

Aug. 2024

Risk of Rain is a good roguelike with it's flaws , still worth the buy in 2024 even with Risk of Rain Returns available for reasons I will tell further Positives *The roster is very varied , each characters feels different , from Commando with it's long range and mobility to loader with their grapple and hard-punching exoskeleton or sniper and their reload mechanic and devastating steady aim *The music composed by Chris Christodoulou , just like the music of Risk of Rain 2 is amazing and a huge part of what makes the game or even the franchise , what it is *Items and how they stack with themselves or interract with others make the game and end-game really fun from stacking crowbars to deal massive damage to healthy ennemies or bitter roots to become a pack of health or the two at the same time combined with a lot of items *End-game looping can go crazy *Very affordable game , a steal on sale as it goes 80 percent off *Very light game , in storage or in memory usage , it can run on most computers *coop is fun and chaotic , just like Risk of Rain 2 *Artifacts ,unlockable by finding them in the different levels and toggable before starting a run modify the game in fun or painful ways depending on the artifact *item and survivor logs make the game feel more alive *The lack of map really makes you feel like you are stranded as in your first runs you will probably wander and learn the map layouts progressively , this Negatives *The keyboard controls could be a negative for some as mouse controls arent available (but are in Risk of Rain Returns) *The graphics aged a bit from it's release (but they were remade in Risk of Rain Returns) *Almost no meta-progression appart from unlocking characters or items and artifiacts but this could also be a positive as well (Risk of Rain Returns adds challenges) Risk of Rain is a good roguelike but if you want a better vanilla Risk of Rain experience you should buy Risk of Rain Returns since it solves most of the negatives listed above while adding new content for risk of rain 2 and Risk of Rain 1 players alike. So why should you buy this game in 2024 ? For it's mods : Risk of Rain got it's dedicated modding community too just like Risk of Rain 2 albeit smaller and less known The most well known mod for this is Starstorm , a huge expansion mod giving a breath of fresh air to the game ,not like a complete overhaul , more like an expansion that feels like it could be part of the base game Doubling the number of survivors if we do not count brand new survivor variants similar in concept to alt skills albeit more polished some feeling like brand new characters like the Nemeses or Vestiges twisted versions of the survivors changing their playstyle and design , introducing brand new stages , handful of new and originally unused ennemies ,rulesets to spice up runs even more and three new final bosses to fight. Want light effects and background change ? Lively World. The ability to save mid-run ? SaveMod Want some graphics to be more in-line with Risk of Rain Returns ? Returnify These are just a part of the mods available for this game .To discover these new takes on Risk of Rain and to not make their work go unnoticed you should buy Risk of Rain in 2024 Sorry for yapping
