Rain Returns

Hopoo Games has released a new patch for Risk of Rain Returns, focusing on bug fixes. It addresses crashes relating to text rendering in specific languages, Huntress’s alternate secondary attack when playing online and Acrid’s bubble if it touched an allied Bramble’s head.

This morning, the Embracer Group released its Q3 fiscal year 2023/2024 financial report. The company managed to deliver slightly above expectations thanks to non-core game divisions like Asmodee, Middle-earth Enterprises, and mobile, while the PC and console segment was down 9% due to a lighter release schedule.

What is it? An update to the classic action-roguelike with a few new elements in the mix.

The Last of Us 2 Remastered's new roguelike mode is inspired by a "renaissance of roguelikes."

Equipment is the utility option that further aids your character besides the main skills and some of the best offensive and defensive items in Risk of Rain Returns. You can always carry one equipment at a time, and it can be manually activated, just like skills in the game.

Surviving in Risk of Rain Returns becomes impossible as difficulty scales and stronger enemy types and bosses start to appear and hunt you down. You will need to equip some of the best offensive items in the game to keep clearing stages and continue looping. Weaker items will only weigh you down and get you killed in the long run.

Defeating bosses, looping stages, and acquiring powerful items or the stacks of existing ones are the core gameplay elements in Risk of Rain Returns. Having the best defensive items bolsters your chances of surviving anything the game throws at you, and without these, any build is prone to fail, and your character will die as difficulty spikes.

Survivors are the core gameplay value in Risk of Rain Returns, as each of these 14 characters comes with unique skills offering versatile builds and playstyles. At the same time, you start with two characters, Hunter and Commando; the rest of the roster needs to be unlocked.

Risk of Rain Returns features secret survivors and stages that require players to go the extra mile to unlock them. While each stage in the game houses secrets, items, and Artifacts for the players to find, locating Boar Beach is pure luck.

Risk of Rain Returns is quite familiar with strange and obscure item unlocks across the board, but not all of its features are as weird as the Robomando. Some of them, like the Keycards, are rather straightforward, in fact, and easier to use than you’d think!

There are multiple characters you can unlock as you progress through Risk of Rain Returns. Many of these characters are listed on the main roster screen, but there is a hidden one you can unlock called the Robomando.

Swedish conglomerate Embracer Group laid off 900 people during the last three months after actioning a restructuring program designed to turn the company into a "highly cash flow generative business."

Everybody's favourite bulk-buyer of studios and licenses Embracer Group have announced that they've laid off 900 people over the last three months, as per restructuring plans revealed this summer - around five percent of their total workforce.

The Providence Trials are a featured added to Risk of Rain Returns, giving you the opportunity to expand the abilities of each character. The Providence Trials come with set requirements, and you will need to rise to the challenge of completing them to unlock these skills.

There are several characters for you to unlock that you can use in Risk of Rain Returns. Each character comes with a unique set of skills, with the Pilot being brand new to the Risk of Rain franchise.

Battle royale behemoth PUBG: Battlegrounds made more money than any other game on Steam last week.

While Hopoo Games’ Risk of Rain Returns is a faithful remaster of the original, it offers new content and options for those who enjoyed Risk of Rain 2. Unfortunately, there’s no horizontal aiming, so it’s difficult to precisely hit shots.

Hopoo Games’ Risk of Rain Returns, a remaster of its 2013 roguelike side-scroller, has received its first patch. While patch 1.0.2 isn’t too big, it does offer several necessary fixes, like changing the stage variants in Ancientvalley 2, Desolate Forest 3 and 5, and more to fix “abnormalities.”

When you unlock the Providence Trials in Risk of Rain Returns, these are some of the toughest challenges you can undergo when playing specific classes. Scavenger Hunt is one of the tougher ones, and you’ll be playing as the Enforcer.

The original Risk Of Rain was a chaotic, 2D sidescroller about turning a tiny character into a wandering projectile swarm. It's sequel mimicked the systems but switched from pixel art to 3D - and in my eyes lost a little of its readability in the process.

There are several items and rewards you can earn as you make your way through Risk of Rain Returns. These items become available and unlock as you work through the game, such as the Mu Construct, which requires you to complete the Pre Alpha Challenge.
