Risk of Rain Returns has no shortage of awesome characters that players will want to chase after and unlock as soon as possible, with 15 of them available in total. Now Reddit user m0lmy has posted their experience with unlocking the strange Robomando, a secret 16th playable character.
“To my knowledge,” says m0lmy in their Reddit comment, “I am the first person to unlock this character intentionally.” They, of course, posted a whole set of impressively complicated instructions for others to follow in their footsteps. Now that they are known and readily available, it shouldn’t be too hard for players to follow m0lmy’s guide to unlocking the Robomando for themselves, but be warned: they’re about as random as random gets.
As most Redditors commenting upon m0lmy’s discoveries have already attested, unlocking the Robomando is no small feat. The instructions can be found in the featured comment from m0lmy themselves, but we’ve summarized them here as well:
Doing these things will, according to m0lmy, unlock the Robomando for you to use, and it does seem like this is a fairly competent character, all in all.
The Robomando’s kit includes a special dodge move inspired by the Commando’s own combat roll, as well as the ability to activate any mechanical object for free.
How the Robomando fits into the meta remains to be seen, but the fact that Hopoo Games managed to throw in a special 16th character into the game’s remake is sure to delight ROR fans regardless of how capable it is.

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.
Not many games have a story like Indika, a game about a 19th century Russian Orthodox nun journeying to the centre of her soul with an «unusual, horn-headed companion.» Drawing inspiration from Dostoevsky and Bulgakov and dripping with dark humour, Indika tells a tale of religion and authority, madness and belief. But also, not many games have a story like Indika, whose developer Odd Meter left Russia when the country invaded Ukraine in February last year. Calling the invasion an «insane crime» perpetrated to «satisfy the ambitions of an elderly, weak-minded dwarf,» game director and studio founder Dmitry Svetlow decided to up and move Indika's development—and the company behind it—out of Moscow to neighbouring Kazakhstan, even moving the «entire recording studio by truck.» And both of those stories make it, for me, one of the most fascinating games to grace this year's PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted.
Surviving in Risk of Rain Returns becomes impossible as difficulty scales and stronger enemy types and bosses start to appear and hunt you down.

SEGA unveiled their next significant update for the free-to-play online action RPG, Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis (PSO2: NGS), set to launch on December 6. This update will have some new content for current players but the focus is to get new and returning players caught up with the constantly unfolding story.
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 one of the coolest remakes I’ve ever played. It takes everything that was so good about the original and upgrades it. Rather than just being the same game again but with a new lick of paint, it fuses different aspects of Risk of Rain 2 onto the original, shines up the visuals and the music, and even adds in a few new things as well. The result is a game that’s highly replayable and thoroughly enjoyable.
An indie roguelite classic proudly rides again in. Now under the umbrella of Gearbox Entertainment, Hopoo Games’ original came out a full decade ago, back during the burgeoning roguelite renaissance and two years after hit PCs. Like, it proved a crucial hit in the indie space over time, and even perpetuated certain standards and tropes which would find their way into later roguelites, including the studio’s own massively successful sequel. served as an expanded 3D take on its predecessor, but is a formal remake, functionally reinvigorating a ten-year-old essential roguelite while carefully retaining its crucial essence.
