About This Game


Carefully designed, beautifully remastered, and loaded with new ways to play—Risk of Rain is back and better than ever! Dive into the iconic roguelike full of unique loot combinations, entirely new Survivors, overhauled multiplayer, and more!



Hone your skills and abilities, discover new Survivors, and dive into progressively stronger runs! Discover secrets of ancient design lying dormant beneath the surface of Petrichor V. Search under every log, stone, and Gup to find new ways to play!



Many Survivors fled the mysterious attack on your ship. Slice, dice, and serve justice cold with the return of Chef, hold the front line and shield your team as Enforcer, or lay down a path of toxic sludge as everybody’s favorite purple monster: Acrid! Forge new paths to explore with 15 unique Survivors, each with new abilities to master. Two entirely new Survivors are making their debut in Risk of Rain Returns.

Also introducing The Drifter! This resourceful brawler gathers scrap from conquered foes and can spawn items that temporarily empower teammates. She can also take them for herself and unleash an unbridled blaze of area-wide destruction. The Drifter is the perfect addition to any group of Survivors. Her ability to support the team while laying down her own brand of hurt will prove she’s more than just a stowaway.



Drop to the surface solo or with your crew! Choose Survivors that complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, or go wild and choose whoever has the largest guns (spoiler: it’s Loader). With up to four-player online and couch co-op, you’re not alone in this fight.

Risk of Rain Returns features new and improved multiplayer services to ensure the only thing that gets between your crew’s survival are the ever-growing hordes on Petrichor V.



Fight your way to the surface while uncovering precious cargo. These items serve as your redemption, helping you move faster, deal more damage, or jump a little higher. Still others empower you in more dramatic ways—like the rare Ukulele, which empowers your attacks with electrifying music.

If explosions are what you’re after, hunt down the Brilliant Behemoth and watch as even your most mundane attacks erupt in a barrage of beautiful blasts. The magic comes in the unpredictable combinations you create. Exploding chain lightning is only the beginning of your frenetic masterpiece!



The denizens of Petrichor V are as diverse as the many planets they once called home. As these monsters approached extinction on their own worlds, a mysterious force brought them to Petrichor V. The planet quickly grew to be a menagerie of the most dangerous monsters in the galaxy, and they’re not thrilled by interlopers (aka YOU).



Variety is the spice of destruction. Select from more than 10 Artifacts that each mutate your run! Perhaps you’d like to start with a random equipment item that changes every time it’s used, or maybe you’d like to experience a rampant Imp invasion every 10 minutes. Play around with combinations of Artifacts and discover exciting new ways to play.

I cant believe I have to call this game Abandon-ware AND NOW Spyware. My favorite game, Risk of Rain, is now another victim of Enshittification. Take Two and Gearbox can crawl back to hell.

RIP Risk of Rain! It was fun while it lasted! Take-Two and 2K games have updated all their games Terms of Service, turning this game as well as all of their other games into literal spyware.

CONTEXT: This review is from the perspective of someone who started playing "Risk of Rain 2" before knowing about "Risk of Rain Returns" as well as the original "Risk of Rain" Returns is based off of. Make of that what you will. This here is a great action rogue-like with a lot of emphasis on positioning related to the environment, enemies, your attacks/skills and what the little bean pixels in the middle of your screen that you may call your avatar can do. I find this game's CORE loop to be akin to the spectacle fights of a "Monster Hunter" game. Where you try to find the most available "in the moment" opportunity you can achieve rather than "the best one always", if that makes any sense ha ha! You can not control where your characters can "shoot" the way most of us, newcomers, would think of: with a mouse(?) No! Instead it is based of whatever the skill itself says so coupled to where your character is either: currently facing, is mid-air or not, the current movement inp...

I never played the original but love risk of rain 2 so I wanted to try this, but it does not feel good to play. The movement is so slow for you and it feels like you need to start with a hopoo feather and a goat huff just to be able to get around. The combat is fine but items feel less impactful for damage.
