Risk of Rain 2 for PC is a third-person shooter game (also styled an ‘action-platformer’) that falls into the roguelike classification. ‘Roguelike’ refers to a category of role-playing video games in which permadeath (or the permanent death of a playing character) is a feature, but the term has, of late, expanded to include many others: often needing to be a turn-based game, procedurally generated levels, tile-based graphics and a high-fantasy world setting.

Risk of Rain 2 for PC is a third-person shooter game (also styled an ‘action-platformer’) that falls into the roguelike classification. ‘Roguelike’ refers to a category of role-playing video games in which permadeath (or the permanent death of a playing character) is a feature, but the term has, of late, expanded to include many others: often needing to be a turn-based game, procedurally generated levels, tile-based graphics and a high-fantasy world setting.
About the Game
One to four players fight to advance from level to level, combatting waves of aliens and bosses. The premise is that the players must locate and then guard a teleport until it becomes active. The more kills that are made, the more experience and in-game currency you earn, the latter being used to purchase upgrades and boosts. Some of the upgrades are ‘stackable’ meaning that their benefits are exponentially increased when more than one is used at any one time.
The strength, difficulty and numbers of the attacking aliens increases every five minutes, making each level harder and harder as time goes on. This means it behoves the player to work through the levels as quickly as possible, so as to move on to the next level with its attendant benefits and powers – and the reduced numbers and strengths of attackers that marks the first few minutes on a new level!
However, along with the increase in enemy activity, your character gets stronger too, so that what was a boss fight a few moments ago becomes a regular battle. This maintains a high level of excitement and encourages focussed concentration on the action, making for a compelling and enthralling challenge.
Randomised Fully 3D World
The world is set in fully 3D rendered locations, which adds dynamism to the gameplay, and because of the randomising engine, each time you play will take you along a slightly different path as the game responds to your choices and actions each time you play through a level, even if you are going over previously completed levels.
Ways to Play
Focus
Pay attention to the patterns of enemy waves – they do adhere to very similar patterns of arrival each time. This means that with skill and care, even the toughest level can be mastered in time. It is possible to win the game more on statistics and observation than by blunt-force skill, so you can set yourself a challenge of using more finesse and accuracy rather than non-stop shoot-em-up action.
Solo
Play by yourself, running on sheer grit to keep enemy numbers down, using all your weapons and upgrades to stay ahead of the curve. This is where your love of noise and violence can be indulged, spraying enemies with missiles and cutting down wave after wave of aliens, monsters and bosses.
Multiplayer
Team up with up to three other players to work as a team to divide and conquer the streams of enemies. This is a more efficient way of playing as one player can devote their attention to one quarter of the invaders, with all four players working in concert to cover each other against attack from all sides. Solo players sometimes run the risk of being ambushed when streams of invaders suddenly arrive from an unexpected direction.
Risk of Rain 2 for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.

The game is amazing. Borderline unlimited run possibilities. Theres a high skill ceiling, so you can always improve and the different characters allow for a ton of expression. One of my favourite rougelikes ever.

Risk of Rain 2 offers fun, medium-paced gameplay with a fun gameplay loop. Its diverse selection of characters, each with unique abilities, adds great replay value. The music is perfectly suited to the environment, enhancing the experience. There are slight balancing issues, but they don’t take away from the overall enjoyment.

This game is to put it simply, AMAZINGLY FUN. Risk of Rain 2 never fails to deliver an immersive 3D roguelike with cooperative chaos, strategic depth, and stunning visuals. A must-play for replayable thrills.
Intense 3D immersion
Satisfying rogue-lite progression
Stunning visuals, atmospheric soundtrack
Steep learning curve
Solo play can be intense

Amazing game with a lot of replayability and content added. Really good ost.
The gameplay is addicting and there's a lot of characters that play different and with mods it gets even better. Definitely recommend.
Multiplayer
Awesome OST
Great Gameplay

Risk of Rain 2, paired with the Survivors of the Void DLC, is a phenomenal combination for fans of action-packed roguelike gaming. The base game's transition to 3D is seamless, offering intense battles and exploration. With the DLC, the addition of new survivors, items, and challenges breathes fresh life into an already fantastic experience. The cooperative gameplay is an absolute blast, and the ever-increasing difficulty keeps you on your toes. If you're seeking an endlessly replayable and exhilarating adventure, this dynamic duo is a must-have in your gaming library.
has Endless Replayability
its Fast-Paced
has Online Co-op
2023-10-28T17:24:44-0400
Works and gives key instantly and very cheap love to see that but the game itself is very good i would recommend if you like games like dead souls and isaac but more open with online co op so you can play with your friends
fast paced
most runs wont be the same
online co op
kind of hard to learn
2023-08-14T12:38:39-0400
Very fun game to play with your friends. Can give you hundreds of hours of fun.
Simple design in many ways which also grants it a straight forward experience, the only complexity may reside in the items you collect.
2023-05-18T04:30:58-0400
Highly recommended, levels could be quite repetitive over time but there's many challenges you can do in order to unlock different items and bonuses in game. There're many easter eggs and secrets which makes it even better.
many quests/missions for items and bonuses
co-op
easy to play
potentially repetitive over time
2023-02-04T20:16:26-0500
Good game that I recommend! It's worth 6 bucks for sure if you like these kinds of games. It's really easy to learn how to play and that makes it addicting as well. I, personally, can't get enoug of it. I suggest you buy it, lads.
Pretty chill game
Easy to play (gets harder later on)
Addicting
I guess it can get too repetitve for some people
2023-01-05T18:20:22-0500
well the game activated and everything like normal but why is it launching through epic games?
and cuz of that there are some problems with multi player....................................................
2022-12-16T10:01:58-0500
Risk of Rain 1 but better in every possible way. Fun, engaging, really hard. Absolute banger of a soundtrack. Supports co-op, which hilariously makes the game even harder. The DLC is great, definitely worth buying.
Engaging
Banger soundtrack
Really hard
Virtually none

One of the most fun, and enjoyable games i've ever played, highly recommend if you like rouge likes and dungeon crawlers. Theres a lot variety in items, a lot of fun synergies, there are different characters to suit anyones play style. Again highly recommend this game.
