I have only had it for just over two days and have already devoted 23 hours to is and have unlocked 4 of the playable characters. No, I am not a developer as some other reviewers have suggested and am in no way associated to this game aside from the fact that I play it. Yes, at first I did think that the controls were rather frustrating but all you have to do is go to the controls configuration and change the jump key to up so that it shares a key with the climb function (trust me, this works really well). In contrast to what others have said, climbing ropes and ladders in this game works just fine and in no way involved jumping, you just hold the up key. This game is quite challenging if you play it for about 10 minutes or maybe even less depending on starting difficulty as time played=difficulty, meaning it continually gets much much harder. Also, abilities such as protect and serve (aka enforcer's shield) are in no way OP, as it only protects you from the front and greatly limits your mobility. Plus, later in the game, this doesn't even matter because many enemies have powerful projectiles that target you from behind and therefore get around the shield and there are also many enemies that deal splash damage, getting around your shield. The other ability that was suggested to be OP is the commando's dive roll which only makes you invincible for about half a second and has a cool-down of about 4 second. Overall, this game is great and ignore the negative reviews because they obviously have not devoted any time or effort to the game.… Expand

   I can think of fewer games that leaves a taste of "I want some more" than Risk of Rain. A marvelous game from art to soundtrack. TheI can think of fewer games that leaves a taste of "I want some more" than Risk of Rain. A marvelous game from art to soundtrack. The characters play very different and the upgrades you get really gives you that sense of progression.
   It's hard, and punish your mistakes, but not to the point where you can call it bad game design. After some time, even the lore got me hooked up. If I can really have to point a bad thing, it's that it doesn't have an on-line mode - but try playing it with some friends on local coop, the sensation of job well done that Risk of Rain gives you is one of a kind.… Expand

The game itself gives many opportunities to use many different powerups and characters and there are many worlds and bosses. It may be hard to finish the boss and the enemy at each level but the effort will truly pay off. You will be rewarded with a new level with new monsters and elemental types. The powerup collecting is always fun in this game and you will need it to conquer all the bosses and hardcore enemies. And you will have to do it quickly because the more time it will take for you to kill them the harder the enemies will be.
   Overall I enjoyed playing this game. The fact that it can be really hard to get everywhere you should totally try this game out!… Expand

   A rogue-lite/platformer hybrid. A novel concept. A shame that it fails in both genres, and never really finds footing of its own. PlatformingA rogue-lite/platformer hybrid. A novel concept. A shame that it fails in both genres, and never really finds footing of its own. Platforming is weak. Easy to get lost in a level when everything looks exactly the same. Jump mechanics lack oomph. Combat is a bore: Run one direction, dodge enemies, shoot backwards ad infinitum. Enemies are randomly spawned, so it's ever so slightly different every time you play. Should you want an excuse to extend your visit to the dullard nebula, that's the best I could think of.
   
   All this for $9.99. Atrocious.… Expand
