Risk of Rain (2013)

GOATED GAME!

That was a long jurney. Finally I completed every achievements and now I can say that this is a wonderful game, from the beginning to the end. Maybe sometimes can be hard and frustrating, but is definitively a game that made me entertained, challenged and even joyful. I'm proud to have it in my library.

I love the Risk of Rain games! I have bought both games 4 times. On Switch and on Steam including all RoR2 Dlcs because i love the game. I have spent hundreds of hours on RoR... What i cant seem to phatom and literally my only issue is how the Risk of Rain on steam DOES NOT support PS4 controllers or any other PC controller... Im in need of an update to fully enjoy Risk of Rain as a steam purchase.

Overall made with love!
-A Loving Fan

I'm making a review of this now realising i never had when i played this back in 2016 when i first played it, but this game was the start of one of my favourite game series of all time, and even now the original game still holds up just as good as RoR2 and Returns, and probably even better than a lot of triple A titles that come out nowadays as well, I highly reccomend trying any of the RoR games if you get the chance!

I pirated that game 12 years ago and went on to kill the boars with Acrid on that one glitched spot. I remember leaving a pin on my keyboard so Acrid could keep shooting with the range 1 in 4 chance thing stacked 4 times over thus killing thousands of boars. In the morning my pc would lag for like 20 minutes while I'd pick up that loot. Good times. Then I was introduced to steam and bought it. Same stuff, only on steam.

This game is good. Although old, it still holds up, take it from a boomer.

I love this game, it has beautiful pixel art and engaging gameplay.

But I can't recommend it for the lack of long term support.
The game is 32 bits, long overdue an architecture upgrade, still features plenty of game breaking bugs and CTDs, especially on Linux where launching the game without Steam doing the heavy lifting is absurdly hard, check the GOG forums on this one.

But hey, if you're not on Linux, check out "Rainfusion", it still gets some new mods.

HOW DARE YOU LOCK ME OUT OF A 12 YEAR OLD GAME BY UPDATED THE EULA TO ADD PREDATORY SPYWARE TERMS!
Take-Two needs to keep their slimey hands off these games, ruining it by forcing eula so now i cant even play it. first you ruin borderlands and now this? worst company i will actively avoid any game by gearbox or take-two, thanks hopoo for selling out your players for some quick easy cash, i will never support yall either. i want a REFUND for all these games that have been basically locked out cause im not and shouldnt be forced to agree to these predatory TOS that where suggested AFTER i already owned the game! this should NOT be legal

this game is fun and has a great soundtrack 10/10 my review doesn't do the game justice

I bought this game because it was on sale for like $2 and as of writing this review I have all of the steam achievements and am currently working my way through every unlockable thing in the game. I don't know why this has become so important to me. Maybe it's because I've been pushing away reality for the last month or maybe it's because of the news I got from the doctor. Either way. If you want to ignore the world around you and instead spend it staring at a pixelated 2D world where you embody small shape that vaguely resembles someone who just fell out of orbit. Then this is the game for you.

At first you will die, over and over and over and over...and then suddenly you won't. Suddenly you will be running around with a stack of 100x crowbars and 20x Drones, instaggibing any god dam pixel that moves around you and everything will be ok. Never mind paying bills or showering. Forget about making love to your partner (real, innanimate or handy), forget about anything other than dreams of red chests and white t shirts. Nothing matters any more, only survival.

I LOVE THE SUPER POWERS this game allows you to get! THE MONSTERS ARE COOL! SOUND TRACK IS ONE OF THE BEST! AND I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, THE COMMANDO IS THE BEST PLAYER (thats why you start with him first I believe)! - However !!!!!!! - There should have been A LOT MORE maps corresponding to the overly powered powers the player can achieve. This way the more maps, the more level of difficulty corresponding to the overly powered powers the player has and it should level out and balance the overly powered powers in making it more intense and as well as more fun! THERE Were a lot of glitches where I got stuck on the map and wasnt able to move - I have no idea how that was possible which killed my 3 days in a row of playing to get all artifacts and items and players etc... BUT OVERALL GAME WAS GREAT and it is even better playing it multiplayer with friends! I am hoping to get the RISK OF RAIN RETURNS when there is a sale on it!

came here from ror2
cool game
I suck pretty hard
will buy returns when Im done with this

Very easy to jump right into a game and play.

The initial gameplay hurdle is difficult, but then you realize that you can just jump through most ground attacks :)

If Acrid has 1 million fans, I am one of them.
If Acrid has 100 fans, I am one of them.
If Acrid has 1 fan, I am the one.
If Acrid has no fans, then I do not exist.
If the world is against Acrid, then I am against the world.
Until my last breath I will play Acrid.

nice game, rorr and ror2 are better tho

I don't agree with the new EULA and can't get a refund.

Can see your legs.

dated and it shows

☔ Time only moves in one direction. In Risk of Rain, it moves against you. And I love every second of it.

This is not just a game. It's a lesson in survival. A symphony of chaos. A 2D sidescrolling masterpiece with:

Pixel art that slaps.

A soundtrack that haunts you (in a good way).

And gameplay that’s like hugging a cactus—you’ll bleed, but you’ll keep coming back.

What starts as:

"Hmm, I’ll just try out Commando and see what this game is about..."

Quickly becomes:

"Why is the sky red? Why are there 12 bosses? Why am I on fire? What IS THAT THING?!"

You’re dropped on an alien planet. You run. You gun. You pray to the gods of RNG. And then you learn the golden rule:

🕒 The longer you survive, the harder it gets. Forever.

Every second, the game whispers:

“Shouldn’t you have left already?”
“One more item won’t hurt…”
“You’re not scared, are you?”

And suddenly it’s 60 minutes in and you’re fighting for your life against a small army of Lemurians while juggling 48 passive items and three drones you named Steve, Steve 2, and Not Steve.

💀 It’s brutal.
🎮 It’s tight.
🎼 It’s beautiful.
☠️ It doesn’t care about your feelings.

But when you finally master it—when you blink through missiles, dodge into a boss, and stack enough damage to vaporize time itself—it feels so earned.

This game laid the foundation for Risk of Rain 2, but make no mistake: Risk of Rain (2013) still holds up today.
And not just as a classic.
As a genre-defining, soul-crushing, dopamine-flooding masterwork.

So go on. Crash land.
Die a lot.
Come back stronger.
And when Providence stares you down at the end... smile.
Because you earned that pain. And you loved it.

Surprisingly it's not the 2013th game in the series

Classic good many hours inc

fun but hard

at this point the only reason you should buy this game over rorr is to play with mods on rainfusion. still a goated game tho

skip work for this.

You're likely better off getting RoR Returns, but this is still an amazing game.
Lots of optimization issues, and plenty of crashes in multiplayer, but it's the literal definition of '2013 indie game' so I really don't mind.
Besides its dirt cheap during steam sales. Aint got nothing to lose I tell u

This game completely surprised me with how much fun it really gets. When I launched it the first couple times I was confused about what it exactly wants from me, or what the appeal is, but then soon I had my first build that "clicked"... and damn is it fun haha!! Things can escalate real hard in this game and I love that.

its a rougelike metroidvania what else do i have to say

my first time writing review, anyway
There is something unique about Risk of Rain as rogue-like. Unlike other rogue-like where you are pity against whatever the game throws at you, here you actually can decide how you want to play. you can just rush to the portal and win the game or looping back to enjoy killing everything over and over again. Artifacts as run modifiers is also interesting.
but it also has its flaw such as game feels unfair with overwhelming numbers of enemies or too overpowered enemies and bosses as well as underwhelming survivors. some achievement that feels annoying and sisyphean to complete.
Other than that I consider it a very decent rogue-like with very fun and interesting gameplay and the fact that this is from 2013. it really pave the way for its successors.
Overall 7/10.
Do I recommend playing it ? yeah, but go play this game's remake instead: Risk of Rain Return as it is better in every way. it's up to you to decide.

Amazing game, very addicting, great soundtrack, great pixel art, you can cook enemies, 11/10

prefer the part 2 a lot more
didn't had fun in this game to be honest

Just try it. It's so good for a 2013 game that the price is just right

cool ig

It's fun

lots of fun, i enjoy it more than the second game. still holds up well

I won't say this game is bad, just that you should totally check out Risk of Rain Returns instead. It has better visuals (which is actually really nice as it's much easier to see many smaller details), new content like items, characters, new character abilities, better balancing, and even a new gamemode. Overall, it's much better than this version of the game, and it isn't missing anything this game has. Do yourself a favor and get that instead.

i think there was a risk of it raining anyways best game peak fiction top tier on that trippin bussin bussin no cap enough brainrot would recommend 10/10 doctors recommend

Es muy buen juego jueguenlo nomas. . . :D puede tener controles raros pero se van a acostumbrar con practica ya van a ver que les sale

I like this more than the 2nd one.

Tremendo juego es re dificil de normal, en dificil es pero re dificil pero justo te tienen que caer los buenos items pero cuando conseguiste el artefacto de comando se vuelve un viaje de diversion aun tenes un cierto rng interesante y si sabes aprovecharlo te volves un dios no se si no te gusto mi descripcion no lo juegues alto juego aguante loopear 15 niveles

Sometimes I win sometimes I lose.
Never have I enjoyed paying acrid.

Not as fun as RoR 2 but I still enjoyed my time playing.
Probably won't come back after as it is a challenging game and I forget the good strategy but I got to the end of a run, unlocked some characters. Good stuff

Pretty tough at first if you don't know what to do, but is pretty fun once you get a rundown of what to do. I'd still recommend risk of rain 2

harder than ror2

While not quite as refined as the sequel, it's still a great time.

Pros:
- The pixel art is great.

- The soundtrack is fantastic.

- Many satisfying weapons, abilities and items.

- Very replayable.

Cons:
- The first few minutes of every run are very tedious and grindy. This mixed with the very limited traversal make it feel like a chore at first.

- The very small sprites mixed with the chaos on screen make it difficult to parse what it s going on.

Strange controlls, but very fun especially with friends

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

good game
and the music...
it was electric...

its like if someone made their first game in 5 hours on a weekend,

i heard good things about this game, but pretty disappointing all round.

Кто вообще будет читать отзывы на эту классику, так что держите рецепт блинчиков с малиной
Нам понадобится
Малина 250 грамм
Молоко 400 мл (любой жирности)
Яйцо куриное 3 штуки
Мука пшеничная 8 ст. ложек
Соль 1 щепотка
Сахар 50 грамм (в тесто)
Сахар 80 грамм
Масло растительное 40мл
Подготовьте указанные ингредиенты.
Куриные яйца вбейте в глубокую емкость и влейте туда молоко любой жирности. Всыпьте 50 грамм сахара и соль, взбейте венчиком или с помощью блендера, миксера. Добавьте пшеничную муку, вмешайте ее в массу. Затем влейте растительное масло и оставьте на 20 минут.
Раскалите сковороду и смажьте в первый раз растительным маслом. Перемешайте "отдохнувшее" тесто и влейте половину половника на сковороду. Испеките блин по минуте с каждой стороны до румяности.
Малину переберите и промойте в воде, удаляя мусор, хвостики с ягод. Затем воду слейте, а ягоды выложите на бумажные салфетки, удаляя лишнюю влагу.
Всыпьте оставшийся сахарный песок к ягодам и перемешайте. Если хотите проварить ягоды, то высыпьте их с сахаром в кастрюлю или ковш, протомите на плите примерно 5-6 минут.
Выложите на блин 1,5 ст.л. малиновой начинки, заверните его любым удобным способом и подайте к столу.
Приятного аппетита :3

great game just gets hard fast
