Even then, none of the items I've seen change the playstyle (unless you get one of the godlike lunar items that will let you beat the entire game without pressing left click whatsoever). Each run feels like it's almost exclusively controlled by the random items you get, with everything else barely mattering at all. ![]() Character differences are miniscule and get overshadowed by a good selection of items anyway, the only exceptions being the engineer (just barely) and the melee characters (same as ranged, but more annoying to play). I have almost 100 hours of this in co-op, and yet I struggle to find any kind of fun in its extremely uninteresting gameplay loop. A good game should be FUN first and foremost, from the get-go, not promising potential fun somewhere down the line, and only if you're lucky enough to snag it. I can only assume the people rating this highly are rating it off of their rarer god-like runs and are forgetting about the drudgery runs. With the anniversary update released in March, you may have already been playing as the new survivor. MUL-T is a multi-purpose robot survivor in Risk of Rain 2. This guide will demonstrate how to play him best. And on top of that, it slaps you with a countdown, making the levels harder if you take time to look for more loot. MUL-T is one of the tankiest characters in Risk of Rain 2, but he also packs in a lot of utility. Roguelikes work best in these ways: either let the player choose between two or three pickups most of the time so that they can consciously move toward a build (like Slay the Spire or Hades), and/or make sure there are enough pickups that the player can figure it out on the way (like Dead Cells, Binding of Isaac). There is one loot box that is a choice of three, but often one or two of the three is a question mark, aka, a random item! (why?) There is RNG as to how many loot item boxes spawn in a level, where they are, what type they are, and of course what's inside them. The way things stand, the player is a slave to layer upon layer of RNG. There are many things that could have been done to improve the experience, but the main one for me is that the game should give the player more agency over their build. Movement always starts off super slow and clunky, and this only changes if the RNG allows it to. There's only a few bosses and they get samey really fast. There's only a few levels and they get samey really fast. This is a roguelike with poor balance and terrible RNG systems, which means that every so often you have a fun run and the rest of the time its a total drag to play. With over 75 items to unlock and exploit, each run will keep you cleverly strategizing your way out of sticky situations.I find it hard to understand the 'Overwhelmingly Positive' review score on Steam. Brand new survivors like the Artificer and MUL-T debut alongside classic survivors such as the Engineer, Huntress, and-of course-the Commando. Myriad survivors, items, enemies, and bosses return to Risk 2, and many new ones are joining the fight. A unique scaling system means both you and your foes limitlessly increase in power over the course of a game-what once was a bossfight will in time become a common enemy. With each run, you'll learn the patterns of your foes, and even the longest odds can be overcome with enough skill. Play solo, or team up with up to four friends to fight your way through hordes of monsters, unlock new loot, and find a way to escape the planet. No run will ever be the same with randomized stages, enemies, bosses, and items. The classic multiplayer roguelike, Risk of Rain, returns with an extra dimension and more challenging action. ![]()
