How do you envision remastering one of the all-time classics in the roguelite genre? Risk of Rain Returns is the answer. More than just a fresh coat of paint, the remastered Risk of Rain brings tons of new characters, items, and challenges. Beautiful pixel graphics paired with an absolutely amazing soundtrack will have you wanting to do "just one more run" every time.

The controls take some getting used to, and you certainly cannot try and play this game the same way you would Risk of Rain 2. While not as much of a slam dunk as its successor, Risk of Rain Returns remains a beautiful way to not only pay homage to the beginning, but bring the game forward into the current gaming landscape.

100%: Some Monsoon Trials are devilish in nature - prepare to practice and fail many times, especially if you're going for all gold crowns.
