meu roguelike preferido!

amo o fato dele ser 3ª pessoa e como cada personagem tem uma gameplay tão única e original.

o temporizador como um dos fatores determinantes para a dificuldade de cada run é algo que vai separar quem é "zé lootinho" de quem não é (risos)

o multiplayer cai muito bem também, dando total liberdade para repetir ou não os personagens como também a possibilidade de definir builds diferentes

além dos coletáveis, missões e níveis secretos, há outros modos de jogo, o que amplia ainda mais o leque de diversão que o jogo proporciona!

e por último, tem uma trilha sonora PERFEITA!!!!! (pra quem curte rock, é um prato cheio)

And his music was electric...

In recent years, the genre of rouge-lite games has had many additions. Out of all of them, Risk of Rain 2 is by far the most ridiculous I’ve seen. It’s a game where there are no limits to your potential set, and you can become as overpowered as you desire.
It does follow the traditional rouge-lite formula. Fight through a level, while collecting as much loot as possible, kill the boss, and continue onwards. The major difference here is that it's actually 3D.
Overall, I highly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of the genre or just wants a fun time-killer. It also has multiplayer.

You are a member of a spaceship responding to a distress beacon sent from an unknown planet. In an attempt to find any survivors, you get sent down, completely unprepared for what’s to come.
The story is there mainly to set the scene. There isn’t much of any narrative while actually playing the game. Still, for those interested, there is quite a lot of lore, as every item and enemy has a description.

As I said, it follows the standard rouge-lite formula seen in many other titles like Enter the Gungeon, The Binding of Isaac, and many others. It is simple, but highly effective and addictive. What sets Risk of Rain 2 apart from the others, and allowed it to become such a popular game, is its lack of restrains.
There aren’t any limits on how many times you can find a duplicate item or how fast you can clear a stage and so on. Becoming overpowered is the point. Being skilful at this game isn’t just about being able to dodge all the projectiles, it's about being able to maximize whatever loot you are given to create a build that can take you to the end and beyond.

It's simplistic and by no means detailed. Still, I can’t imagine there will be a time when this game will look ugly and outdated. It’s a timeless design that conveys what it has to.

The atmosphere is all over the place, first, you fight robots and bugs in a tundra, then lizard men and jellyfish in a desert then… you get the idea. Although perhaps because it never takes itself seriously, it works. It's distinctly “Risk of Rain”.

An incredible soundtrack has been made for this game, and I can’t imagine any other that would fit so well. My favourite part is “The Rain Formerly Known as Purple”.

Me when the weather reports show that there is a risk of rain.


Whatever you think, Christodoulou is too good for us mortals

probably the greatest roguelike i’ve ever played, and definitely my favorite. the learning curve can be harsh, but getting through it will earn you an experience unlike any other game


Hopoo games showed that they're not ones to make a 1 hit wonder. Risk of Rain 2 could be it's own titled game, only sharing characters from the first and it could totally stand on it's own. The switch from 2D to 3D is never easy, but the people at Hopoo make it look easy.

An objectively good game that I didn't enjoy. Killer art direction, a solid soundtrack, and fun moment-to-moment gameplay is ruined by abrupt, unsatisfying conclusions to runs - no game feels worse to die in than this one. Couple that with a feeling of unbalance that I just can't shake leaves me feeling disappointed overall. It's honestly a shame, because the movement and bossfights are killer. I'll likely come back to this, but unless something in the future changes my mind, my rating stands as is.

An absolute CLASSIC for the genre. a legitimate gem of a game. I initially started with the PS4 version (running on the ps5) and it was fantastic, always maintained a solid 60fps with no dips. Shortly after i got a physical copy for the switch just to have handheld (switch version actually holds up surprisingly well considering the hardware) but it wasn’t until i finally grabbed the game thru steam and started to play it modded that really opened up my eyes and say okay, this might be my one of my favorite games of all time. seriously cannot recommend it enough no matter what platform you’re on im sure you’ll get some type of enjoyment out of it.

bad for controller, never got a refund

Changes between satisfactory and unsatisfactory depending on factor (VOID CHEST ITEM X)

why is it not 5 stars? blind pest.

6.5/10
I can’t give a 6 or a 7
It’s a good multiplayer but It’s just not my type you know


I just don't like rougelikes.

One of the greatest roguelikes of all time, and still getting banger dlc to this day.

it's fun for a while with friends but it just gets too boring after like 20 hours
