Risk of Rain 2 is a roguelike third-person shooter game for
PC, developed by Hopoo Games and published by Gearbox. It’s a sequel to 2013’s
Risk of Rain. In the game, the player takes control of one of four characters -
survivors of a crashed spaceship, who have to endure the harsh conditions of a
planet inhabited by hostile creatures. The game was released in Early Access in
March 2019 and received positive reviews from fans and critics, many of whom
praised the distinct classes and enjoyable gameplay with a co-op option.
Gameplay
Unlike the first game in the series, which was basically a 2D
scrolling shooter, Risk of Rain 2 is set in a fully three-dimensional
environment. The player travels through the game locations on foot, exploring
underground caves, lush jungles, and elevated plateaus as well as other areas.
The locations player will visit in RoR 2 are filled with various obstacles,
like treacherous canyons, pits of lava, etc. To get to a higher located places
player can use a jetpack, which can also be helpful in the battle against
certain enemies. Like in the previous game, the player will be able to collect
items, with varied level of rarity, which will grant temporary passive boosts.
During the playthrough, the player will encounter native
inhabitants of the planet. These dangerous monsters can prove to be a real test
of skill and resourcefulness. The enemies in RoR 2 can be divided into two
categories: normal monsters and bosses. Normal opponents range from tiny wisps
to humanoid Lemurians and Imps to machine-like Contraptions and Stone
Golems. Each of the common monsters has
a set amount of HP and damage, both of which are increased depending on their
level. Boss monsters are significantly more resistant and deal more damage. All
enemies also appear in the elite variants, which come in various types, e.g.
fire and glacial.
Story and setting
You are marooned! Your spaceship crashed on an unknown planet.
With no hope for rescue, you and other survivors decide to travel into the
uncharted world and discover that surviving the crash was not the last of your
ordeals. The planet inhabited by dangerous monsters is no place for the
fainthearted. If you want to survive in hostile environments, you will have to
take the fight to the beast that would love to have you for dinner. Using an
array of weapons and items, blast your way through creatures big and small.
Work together with your fellow survivors and maybe, just maybe, you will make
it out of here alive.
