I don't know, I haven't played the game yet.

  It didn’t rain for the entire game.

    Bait and switch!

      To be fair, they only say there’s a risk of rain, not a guarantee. It appears that the risk was just pretty low.

  You should, it’s a great game.

    I just got the first one on a new game binge. I played it for like a minute and didn’t get the greatest impression of it at all.

    Whats the hook?

      A lot like Vampire Survivor, the hook is that it starts pretty simple and it ramps the difficulty every minute that passes but you’re constantly able to buy more items with powerful effects. By 15 minutes in it’s a starting to be overwhelming and by 30 minutes in you are doing a LOT of clicking and there’s countless hordes of enemies but because of the particular combination of items you’ve picked up, you’re still alive and every shot causes a chain reaction of other effects. Or you get a combination of items that doesn’t mesh terribly well and something gets a lucky shot in and you’re dead at minute 22 with no warning.

      Also the items are mysterious and you’re always finding totally new ones you’ve never seen before and their powers are wildly different. The story of the game is more told in the item descriptions you can only read in the loading menu than any other single place. I’ve played 1000s of hours and still refer to the wiki before trying to tell the “story” of the game.

      The intricate level designs, complex item interactions, and the rocking soundtrack are also worth mentioning because they are substantially above average for a game of this type.

      Did you get the very first one or the remaster? I would recommend starting with the second part as it is easier to get into

      It gets really fun about a half hour in, unfortunately

    Yeah it’s the perfect game to listen to an audiobook or something while playing

      Big memories of playing it for a few hours and listening to tons of music

      I just like listening to the music of the game which is already very relaxing

  Aren’t we the rain in game? When we fall from space in our drop pods, and Aren’t we a riak to everything in our path. I always though that was the rhyme and reasoning of the title.

  Too bad it is owned by Gearbox now.

    I’ve heard good things about Risk of Rain Returns. Hopefully they can turn the IP into another hit like BattleBorn

    Gearbox has already worked on risk of rain, they were probably the best choice to hand it over to.

  I guess they’ll just have to wait to find out then

  Haven’t played it either
