About Risk of Rain 2
About this game
Developed by Hopoo Games and published by Gearbox Publishing.
Escape a chaotic alien planet as you fight through hordes of frenzied monsters and reach the end!
Unknown Planet
On this alien planet, you'll find over a dozen hand-crafted locales! Each one is packed with challenging battles to overcome, including boss fights!
Continue?
At the very end of the run, you'll get to choose whether you escape or continue your run and see how long you can last! The unique scaling system will allow for both you and your enemies to limitlessly increase in power as the game progresses.
Collect Them All!
There are over 110 items to keep the run fresh and exciting! The more items you collect each run, the more their effects combine, making for many different and fun combinations!
10 Options
You'll be able to unlock a total of 10 playable survivors — each one has a unique combat style and skills to master and explore!
Randomisation
Aside from the normal gameplay, you'll have an array of options to choose from to spice things up — toggle-friendly fire, random survivor spawns, item selection, and more! Additionally, you can also randomise stages, enemies, and items so that no run will ever be the same.
Invite Some Buddies
Explore the game alone or with up to three friends! Whether you play co-op or against each other is entirely up to you.

I kept putting this game off because it seemed over hyped on the internet, but I TELL YOU WHAT?!? It's super fun, definitely addicting and you keep saying "just one more run." It's defiantly an improvement over the original. I've only put 10 hours into it so far, but I can definately see me putting in 100 or so, by the time I'm done. Well worth the purchase!

If you took Dark Souls (yes I know) and took away all the fun parts, great story, and turned the graphics down you would still get a better game than this.

I really like it, but sometimes the RNG elements are just a little too annoying for my taste. Oh and after a lot of time in one run so many enemies will spawn that your PC most likely will crash.
