Risk of Rain

Risk of Rain

Co-op Friendly

Start run with teammate, can not join once run is started.

Fun

The music gets you in the mood for the impending chaos, tons of items and very pleasing art style. They also offer a variety of playable characters, some have to be unlocked. Along with unlockable artifacts that you can enable on a run to change up how you play or how the run will be played.

Difficulty

The game can have a lot going on with mobs and missiles flying around so trying to stay alive can be difficult. As well as the longer you play the more the difficulty goes up, with more mobs, but with more mobs does mean more gold. Just make sure to spend it to get the items, you will get unlucky but if you stick it out you will have lots of items and end up feeling quite strong.

Engaging

With all this game has to offer in characters, mod support, and unlockables it will keep you wanting to play for a while. First to make to the end then to challenge your self with the different artifacts or unlock all the characters.

Family Friendly

The game has pixel graphics but it does have shooting so..?

Casual

The controls are easy to pick up, but getting into a rhythm does feel like part of the game. So if you go a bit without playing and back more casually and play in shorter stints it might be hard to make it to the end. You do also have to make a run in one shot, which makes it hard if you can not dedicate the time, and have to abandon a run.

What we liked

One of the greatest games we have touched. I couldn’t have asked for a better game. From the game play to the community this game has it all. This game will get your full attention with how addictive it is. There are numerous levels you can be into at each stage of the game with a distinctive last level. While going through the game your difficulty gets harder with more mobs and harder mobs. But the items, characters, artifacts, and mods make this game purely enjoyment. Even when you lose, all you can feel is the urge to go back in. Each run through is different and allows for different builds and play styles.

What we would change

Similar to other great games, the only thing you can ask for is more content. Which there technically is because of the mods and the amount of play styles you can build. But, more levels and mobs would be great.

What made it unique

There is games like risk of rain but none are on the same level. The characters feel amazing and you can tell how much time and effort went into each one. The uniqueness also comes from each run being different and even though you can go through certain builds its impossible to make exactly what you want unless using a special artifact.
