Risk of Rain overview
Risk of Rain is a rogue-like, sidescrolling action platformer with RPG elements.

The game takes place on an alien world where you are the sole survivor of the crash of the UES Contact Light, a space train, carrying an immense amount of cargo. As the train crashed it's cargo was spread all across the planet, which is just as well for you because you'll need what's inside to survive this place.

The game will spawn your selected character and then almost immediately begin to spawn a trickle of enemies to tear you to shreds. As these creatures come at you, you'll be able to use your chosen characters four abilities to fend them off, gaining money and experience as you do. The experience will build up to increase your level (boosting stats as it does), whereas the money will be used to open chests, pay for shrines and activate drones, automated assistance robots that'll hover around and lend a hand in their own ways.

The chests lost from the train and shrines found on the planet will give you items, mostly passive with some active. Passive items will give you anything from small boosts (giving you a little health back each time you hit an enemy) to big boosts (every attack you make explode for splash damage onto everything around it)

The slight trickle of enemies the game pushes towards you will eventually turn into a flood of writhing limbs all out for blood, quite specifically, yours. As the games difficulty increases with time, going from very easy to HAHAHAHA in less than an hour on normal. Each level culminates in a timed onslaught of foes that is triggered by the activation of that stage's teleporter each teleporter is garuanteed to spawn a boss monster, enemies with colossal health pools and some impressive power behind them as well.

That's pretty much all you need to know.

So open your escape pod.

Check your weapons.

Take a look around.

Weather seems nice at least...I think it might rain later.
