Risk of Rain

Risk of Rain games built around replayable roguelike runs

The Risk of Rain franchise mixes fast action, escalating difficulty and randomized runs where every attempt develops differently. Across the original Risk of Rain, the expanded remaster Risk of Rain Returns and the fully 3D Risk of Rain 2, you explore hostile alien environments, fight increasingly dangerous enemies and bosses, collect powerful items and try to survive long enough to escape. The longer a run continues, the tougher the opposition becomes, encouraging you to balance exploration, upgrades and speed.

Build stronger runs with Survivors, items and Artifacts

Each Risk of Rain game is designed around experimenting with different playable Survivors and stacking items into increasingly powerful combinations. Characters offer distinct abilities and combat styles, while randomized stages, enemies, loot and unlocks keep repeat playthroughs varied. Later entries expand the formula with larger Survivor rosters, more than 100 items, gameplay-changing Artifacts and extensive unlockable content.

  • Choose from multiple Survivors with different weapons, abilities and playstyles
  • Combine items to create powerful and sometimes unexpected effects
  • Face randomized enemies, elite variants and major boss encounters
  • Unlock additional characters, items, abilities, logs and gameplay modifiers
  • Use Artifacts in supported titles to change the rules of future runs

Play solo or survive together

The series can be played alone, while supported titles also offer cooperative multiplayer. Risk of Rain and Risk of Rain 2 support online runs with up to four players, while Risk of Rain Returns expands its multiplayer experience with both online and local co-op options. Choose the entry that suits you best: the original delivers classic 2D platforming, Returns rebuilds and expands that formula, and Risk of Rain 2 moves the same escalating roguelike structure into fully 3D environments.
