O jogo é bem difícil comparado ao 2, mas mesmo sendo difícil você tem vontade de jogar mais e mais runs por conta de como os personagens são diferentes uns dos outros, e os itens também fazem com que as runs não fiquem repetitivas, dito isso eu odeio a Magma Worm e Red Whip é um dos melhores itens do jogo.
A really fun game, yet I still prefer Risk of Rain 2. While I appreciated getting to experience the Risk of Rain formula with "new" stuff - the game is outclassed by the sequel due to the increased freedom and ease of play offered by having the game in 3D. That's not to say that I only appreciate aspects from ROR2, as this game has its own merits. I believe that the challenge this game presents is harder than that of its sequel, especially the providence challenges. While I do believe that there is an overall balance problem with the game, that doesn't prevent me from having fun with this title.
