- Play alone or with a friend with local and online co-op

- Over 100 items to unlock, pick up, and upgrade your character on the fly
- Read up on the lore with collectible monster and item logs
- Includes Steam achievements and trading cards



Enjoy your peace while it lasts!


To put it simply, Risk of Rain functions similarly to The Binding of Isaac. You traverse a level, kill enemies to purchase various random upgrades to help you progress, summon a boss and a wave of enemies, and move on to the next level. You keep going until you die or complete the game. Each run is different, with unique enemy types getting thrown into the mix at random, and level design and sequence varying each playthrough.

The longer you play, the harder the game gets; more, tougher enemies appear and the chance of a boss monster spawning increases. Lasting an hour will likely find you fighting a constant onslaught of bosses within seconds of entering a new level.

Ten different characters mean you can play the game however you want: While the Commando offers a standard 2D shooter experience, the Engineer can lock down an area with mines and turrets, and the Miner dashes in close with hard-hitting melee.

The amount of new content that has been added since the last beta release is astounding, a good 80-90% of the in-game achievements are new and I came across 2 new stages and about a half dozen items I'd never seen before (I actually said "whoa" out loud when I got the hourglass that stops time when your health is low) in my two attempts

Looking at all the challenges it's going to take ages to unlock everything as opposed to the mere hours it took back in beta and I love it, the more time I get to spend with this game the better

just bought it
going to play it in a bit now
