Disclosure: This game copy was bought by the reviewer. I did not play the original Risk of Rain.
Easy to grasp controls, beautiful simplistic aesthetic, and a couple of classes to try out in this fast paced, hectic shooter built around upgrade collection. Unlock new items and classes by completing achievement requirements and explore a handful of biomes while killing a small selection of enemies, gaining strength as time goes by. Only real issues I have with the game outside the limited combat is the minimal feedback from attacks and damaged received. Nevertheless, the combat and performance feel pretty smooth in single player with mixed degrees online (slight stuttering).
