Risk of Rain 2 is a 3D - "Roguelike".
Which means that every game that you play will be different.
There are different maps, that are the same layout, but everything that spawns in the map, ranging from chests (item drops), loot, interactables, ... will be different in every run.
The gameplay is straight forward:
- Pick a character (which all have different abilities). --> You can unlock different characters by playing the game and completing certain objectives or challenges.
- Kill enemies --> Earn gold.
- Open chests --> Get items that make you stronger
- Continue to the next level.
- Repeat --> Until you choose to either quit the game, go to the final boss or die.
The "hard" part about the game, is "remembering" what every item does.
- There are common items which can give you attack speed, movement speed, more damage, ...
- Also more advanced items, which can give you an extra "jump", heals you when you "crit", ...
- Harder to earn items, which can grant you "immunity" to de-buffs or others.
Every item has a description and it can be "hard" to remember what the item does AND which item to build on which character.
The game can be as difficult as you want. There is "normal", "medium" and "hard" (which have their own names in-game).
Because it's a roguelike, with actually no time limit, the game gets harder every few seconds.
(Actual stats on how the difficulty scales is pretty hard to follow, but easy said: Don't wait too long, or you'll get behind).
--> You can also unlock "modifiers" which make the game easier or harder, to make it more challenging and to add another "reason to play".
The story in this game is VERY detailed and goes pretty deep. It starts from the first game and in this game, it starts where the first game ended.
--> Note. I don't play for the story, so I can't give you a lot of information. Just know that there are Content Creators that explain the story, which are hours long.
A few more notes.
- You can play this game alone or with up to 4 players.
- This game can be modded, so after you've completed the game, you can easily get more hours in the game by installing some mods.
- There are other gamemodes than just the "regular" game, which are also interesting, but I personally didn't play much, so I can't give too much information about them.
- You will die A LOT. But that's the "fun" part of the game, you'll get better every time you play.
