Risk of Rain is an action platformer/adventure game with randomized elements.While we don’t want to spoil the story, we can let a few things through! The game is set in the distant future, where space transportation is common. Space trains carry passengers and goods all across space. A particular space train, however, had some very special cargo. Through a series of unfortunate events, this space train gets shot out of orbit and crash lands on a mysterious planet.. with one survivor.
Randomized elements to keep play fresh
The big feature of our game is the randomized elements. The position you spawn on the map, which map you spawn on, the location of chests, enemy spawns, item spawns and more are all randomly chosen by the AI Director! We also have a massive amount of content in our game: we have 100 unique items planned, all with interesting effects. No +HP or +DAMAGE, but chance to spawn missiles and stop time. You have the option of choosing between 10 characters, all with their own different moveset.
What makes Risk of Rain unique?
Another thing that’s important in our game is that as time increases, so does difficulty. Represented in a bar on the HUD, every minute increases the enemies’ power and spawn count, developing a great sense of urgency.
The game already has both offline co op ready to go and online works sometimes. The game supports a wired 360 pad for in game, K&M for menus etc. The game is hard as nails. Ive managed t get to level 3 but then I get destroyed.
messing around on this last night on Twitch. Just trying out the characters, And I landed up doing the first level! Such a great game it really is. Only issue so far is setting up multiplayer is a right ball ache. Setting up port forwarding etc
