Her Arrow Rain doesn’t stun enemies, but it does a lot of DPS compared to the Commando’s suppressive fire and the Strafe is a honed shot rather than one you have to aim, which makes killing the pesky wisps a lot easier. Risk of Rain 2 is a game where mobility is important so I grew to appreciate the Huntress more than the Commando. Things Aren’t Always What They Seem in SpaceĪfter playing the game enough to pass stage 4, I unlock the Huntress who’s a lightweight archer equipped with the Laser Glaive that bounces between targets and the ability to Blink forward, adding to her mobility. ![]() In the future, gamers will be able to apply artifacts to each playthrough as well, which will increase the difficulty further and presumably add other challenges. Playing on Drizzle is no joke and there’s no shame in it, but try raising the difficulty to see just how hard the game can be. ![]() The teleporter location changes on each save too, making things even more difficult. The developers at Hopoo Games make Risk of Rain 2 a fresh experience each time you play it and the replayability increases the further you progress as each planet offers its variables and each stage beyond the first one has the potential of showing you at least two different planets depending on your playthrough. The first planet features flying and burning dinosaur eggs called wisps, glowing pink bi-pedal lizards with laser pistols, giant robots who fire charged laser blasts and one of several bosses that spawn when you finally reach the teleporter. ![]() The enemies vary depending on the stage and range in difficulty depending on your chosen mode between Drizzle (easy), Rainstorm (medium) and Monsoon (hard) or how long you stay alive on each stage as the aliens become increasingly difficult with more of them spawning as you scramble to locate the teleporter off the planet. This aspect of combining abilities reminds me of Call of Duty zombies where I’d want a certain gun before round five or I’d feel like a failure. These upgrades play off each other really well, making me want to find the Will-o-the-Wisp when I find the AtG Missile MK1, for example. Ideally, before escaping the first planet, you are able to spend currency gained from killing enemies and opening barrels on items and equipment such as an Energy Drink which increases your run speed, a Foreign Fruit which can heal you in a time of need or the Will-o-the-Wisp which explodes enemies once they die. ![]() Gamers are spawned into stage 1 as a landing craft crashing onto an alien planet with hostile creatures that follow you in trains similar to Diablo. The game starts with one class to choose from called the Commando who’s considered the jack-of-all-trades class that’s reliable in all situations with a Phase Round that pierces through all enemies in a straight line and a Tactical Dive that doubles as a life-saving tool when falling from vast distances. Risk of Rain 2 continues to combine the gaming genres of roguelike and third-person shooter in a science fiction class-based adventure where gamers uncover the truth of each stage as they explore it while coincidentally looking for a portal to escape the planet to go to the next one.
