Enemies teleport in and will follow you as much as they can (some fly where as others can’t even jump) and you’ll definitely want to use the various ropes, platforms and drops to keep yourself safe. These have a cooldown but need to be used often if you want to survive the sort of encounters this game puts you in. You have four buttons associated with combat, each mapped to an ability. Trying to keep your distance while putting out enough damage to keep yourself safe. You’ll be forever trying to mix offense and defense. Mess that up and your core game just isn’t going to be as fun as it should be. ![]() Progress should be constant and rewarding. It’s just the kind of loot progression that we want to see. A run isn’t going to be destroyed by getting bad power-ups but can be enhanced by getting the best ones. Unlike Gungeon, the power-ups are nearly all useful and so collecting them becomes a joy. Boxes and crates offer power-ups that you can either win, buy or get for free and these stack to eventually make you quite the force to be reckoned with. In your way will be various enemies that get tougher as you go along. ![]() The levels aren’t huge but you will need to explore. You start off in a level and have to find the exit teleporter. You’ve landed on a planet and pretty much you have to fight, loot, explore and survive. Seen from the side, this is a platform shooter essentially. Basically, that’s the description of so many indie games right now, it’s hard to not hate it right out of the box. It’s 2D with retro graphics (arguably worse graphics than Gungeon in fact). ![]() Other review outlets loved the shit out of it though and sometimes you wonder ‘is it just me?’ when you don’t feel the same.Ī week or so later, Risk of Rain appears and does many of the same things as Enter The Gungeon. A good example of this was the recent roguelike, Enter The Gungeonwhich is good game but it just didn’t grab me like I had hoped and once the review went live, that game and I went our separate ways for a while. The thing with reviewing games is that sometimes once the review is done, the game is done. Apin PS4 / Vita tagged 2d / crossbuy / indie / retro / risk of rain / roguelike by Richie
