Risk of Rain (2013)

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

Won awards for a reason

Haven't played enought to know if its good but be aware that the online multiplayer is not easy to setup.

its hard at first but if you keep at it you'll figure it out

Fantastic art incredible music.

Pretty fun, I hate spiders, and jelly fishes >:(

Great game 10/10

bruh 14 enemies left on a tiny platform near NOTHING ELSE

Just play the second game in 3D.

Like Narcotic....

I didn't enjoy the game play. Also, having to use 2 hands on the keyboard is annoying.
