it's good

nosk best homie

One of the best indie games ever made

making money is more important than fun gameplay to the devs.

literally worse than the alpha

Truly a worthy sequel to the original Risk of Rain

get scrap or die trying

To give a very short review:

The gameplay is tons of fun. The movement feels fluid and it's easy to learn but hard to master; it ranges from simply strafing to walljumping (useful for dodging & shortcuts). Firefights feel solid as well, good aim is rewarded. Each mercenary(=character) does feel different which is good. Also, everything feels fast. Running and jumping is fast, reloading is fast and healing is fast.

Unlock-system is not the best but it's not bad for a free game. You unlock new mercenaries with credits, which can be earned in-game. With a playtime of 80 hours you can unlock 3-5 mercs, depending on which ones you decide to buy. (You start with 2 basic mercs, a healer and a ammo/air support rifleman)

Each mercenary has a few different loadouts which are unlocked by spending credits on them or (mostly) obtaining them from cases which you can open for free and drop randomly. Rarer loadouts are not better than common loadouts. (there is a slight difference but you can trade-up common loadouts to get a slightly rarer loadout which is just as good as the rarest-tier loadouts)

Anticheat has recently been replaced by NGS (= Black Cipher), time will tell how good it is but it looks quite promising. I haven't really seen a lot of cheaters in my time playing (only like 3 obvious ones) but you can't really use personal experience to show how many cheaters there are I suppose. It seems like people exaggerate the amount of cheaters (hackusations are thrown everywhere in-game).

Graphics are good but nothing particularly amazing or bad.

All in all, it's a really fun game with an OK unlock-system (players who unlock stuff with real money do not have an advantage over F2Players, but the do unlock content more quickly) and decent graphics.

I recommend it!

Basically top-down CS:GO
