About Risk of Rain 2

Fight your way through swarms of crazed monsters, either alone or with companions to escape a chaotic alien world. Combine items in peculiar ways and master each character to be the disaster you dreaded after your initial crash landing.

• Survive the alien world: There are over a dozen painstakingly constructed areas to explore, each filled with formidable bosses and difficult enemies that you will fight to prevent you from surviving and escaping.
• Acquire powerful items: Each run is kept interesting and challenging by more than 110 items. The more items you accumulate, the more powerful and unpredictable they are.
• You'll also learn more about the lore and strategies from the logs as you come across lots of items.
• Unlock new ways to play: Unlock eleven playable survivors, each of whom has a distinct fighting style and talents. Toggle gameplay modifications like friendly fire, random survivor spawning, item choices, and more by learning the artifacts' secrets. No run is ever the same because of the randomly generated levels, monsters, and items.
• Play solo or co-op: Take on the journey by yourself, or online with up to three people, or competing in the Prismatic Trials' recurring challenge. Alongside established survivors like the Engineer, Huntress, and, of course, the Commando, there are also brand-new survivors called the Captain and MUL-T.

Risk of Rain 2 Reviews

If you have a like-minded group of friends, then this is a good game, but if you are a single player, then only serious masochists need apply.

Thankfully, there’s something about the core feel to the gun-play and movement that mostly makes up for things. Everything is snappy, even with the screen chock full of enemies, gunfire and gigantic bosses. Getting a particularly powerful upgrade early on feels like winning the lottery, while teaming up with 3 players online makes the grind far more appetising. It’d have been nice to be able to keep something from each run, and have online loot shared amongst the team, but as it is, Risk of Rain 2 is a great example of the genre.

Risk of Rain 2 is an amazingly entertaining, atmospheric roguelike with tons of replayability. Although it has some sour spots for solo players, such as its quests, it's definitely worth your time! With over 110 items to theory craft with, it'll have you playing for hours on end, slaying intergalactic foes with a simple strum of an electric ukelele.
