Risk of Rain (2013)

Just got to the ending, or at least one of the endings, and took me 66 minutes and around 6-8 drones with a lots and lots of power ups to achieve that lol. In the beginning the game is slow and stuff, but as you go on and on, gathering powerups and killing and dodging and everything, by the ending it just becomes pure chaos and pure power fantasy. Especially the boss fight with [spoiler] providence [/spoiler] was epic. I don't know if I should keep playing this game to get other endings or with any other classes and all, but even with the little time I got with it, and the fun I had by the end of my first run where I reached an ending, will always stay with me, and who knows, maybe if I decide to return to play this more in the future when I am craving that high again. Haha. Edit: I don't know why it is showing three diffrent timings for me on steam. The library says 4.3 hours, the review edit says 3 hours, and when I publish the review it says 1.4 hours. Dunno what's broken lol,

Hard to progress, but once you understand you and the enemies work it's lots of fun. I can't stop playing this.

At first, the game feels really rewarding. Unlocking new characters and finding item combos adds a lot of variety to each run. But after a while, the levels start to repeat and the grindy progression gets tiring. It’s fun for a bit, but it gets boring pretty quick. 5.5/10 – Good start, but doesn’t stay fun for long.

Não me dou muito bem com roguelikes, mas Risk of Rain é um dos poucos que me interessam, e MUITO! Tenho esse jogo na minha conta por um bom tempo, costumava jogar com meu amigo depois da escola, mas somente agora peguei para tentar finalizar o jogo de cabo a rabo. Eu nunca tinha conseguido passar nem mesmo da quarta fase antes, posso dizer que foi uma experiência muito bacana. Eu digo sem pestanejar que é um dos melhores jogos do gênero. Digo isso, mas tive uma experiência MISERÁVEL pra conseguir o 100% desse jogo. Cerca de 20 horas de jogo minhas foram somente dedicadas a conseguir o Monster Log do último chefão. Essa parte em especifico não foi nada legal, eu me vi em muitos momentos lutando para não dormir pois eu só estava jogando o jogo por jogar. Na minha opinião, devia ser um drop garantido ao atingir uma certa condição, ao invés de ser puramente baseado em sorte. De toda forma, essa é minha única crítica ao jogo. Jogando o jogo casualmente, você jamais vai encontrar esse problema específico. Agora falando de algumas coisas que me marcaram de maneira positiva. Os requisitos pra desbloquear os itens e personagens são super desafiantes, do melhor jeito possível (tirando a missão pra afogar 20 Whorls, que é só ridícula). Os pedacinhos de lore em cada log de item e de monstro são muito bem escritos e te dão uma visão muito maior do planeta em que o jogo se passa, a construção de mundo é sensacional. Quando você para pra ler esses logs, você tem uma visão diferente de tudo, de cada mapa, de cada monstro, de cada item. Tudo nesse jogo tem uma personalidade gigantesca. Cada personagem jogável tem uma gameplay totalmente diferente um do outro, o kit de habilidades te faz pensar em maneiras diferentes de enfrentar os inimigos e os desafios de plataforma das fases, me diverti bastante aprendendo a jogar com cada um. E apesar de mostrar a idade em muitas partes, seja nos menus simples, no sistema para jogar online ou até mesmo no jeito que ele crasha por nada, é só o jeitinho especial do jogo. Acredito que fica difícil a recomendação quando Risk of Rain Returns existe e é considerado a versão definitiva, porém ainda é super interessante de ver como a franquia Risk of Rain começou.

[h1]Risk of Rain[/h1] [h3]Modest but Great Roguelike[/h3] [h3]Worth trying![/h3] Risk of Rain is a roguelike game set on a fictional planet with hostile wildlife and various obstacles. This game also includes platforming and progression elements that add more depth to the gameplay. [b]Gameplay: Fun platformer roguelike game with good combat mechanics and unlockables Art: Nice pixel art style and good minimalistic environments Music: Amazing and immersive soundtrack Achievements: Easy but time-consuming achievements[/b] [h3]Gameplay[/h3] Risk of Rain has a slow pace at the beginning of each run due to our character having a very limited mobility and speed, aside from dealing low damage to enemies, this makes progressing through areas slow at first. However, as the run goes on, the game becomes more enjoyable as you gain new abilities and special items that make combat faster and more dynamic. The only problem I find with the game is that it has an inconsistent difficulty curve. At the beginning, the game can be quite challenging due to the lack of useful items compared to the number of enemies you'll have to fight if you spend too much time in the early areas. However, the late game becomes more manageable and even easy once you’ve gathered enough items, drones, and upgrades by that point. It’s pretty easy to break the game in the late stages if you’ve managed to survive up to that point. The variety of characters is pretty solid, and each class has its own set of skills and different playstyles. This feature helps the game’s replayability. Over time, however, it’s easy to end up sticking with a single character that best fits your playstyle. The number of available items to upgrade our character is quite good, and these can include both passive defensive and offensive items. [h3]Art and World Design[/h3] This game maintains a simple visual style. However, this sometimes makes enemies or accessible paths harder to see. Levels are randomly generated, and the environments are visually appealing. On the other hand, the design of playable characters and enemies is barely noticeable due to how small their sprites appear. Some are more detailed than others, but most of them don’t stand out visually. [h3]Music and Sound effects[/h3] Risk of Rain’s soundtrack is simply incredible. The variety of tracks is good, and each one creates a great gameplay atmosphere. [h3]Multiplayer[/h3] Unfortunately, the multiplayer mode is pretty much abandoned, but that’s understandable for a game that’s been out for such a long time.

Clunky, slow, dissatisfying. I had hoped for much greater things but just didn't find it fun or engaging. There are much better roguelikes and action platformers out there. I'd rather be playing Enter The Gungeon or Spelunky.

Love this game! Got on sale way back in 2016, when the price was only 0,60 cents. And for that amount of money there is value in every single playthrough
