Risk Of Rain: An Hostile Planet

RISK OF RAIN: AN HOSTILE PLANET

You see the second sprite? Yes, that´s you

Today, I will speak of a game which is way harder than Shovel Knight, "Risk Of Rain". Only the plus mode of the Shovel Knight could be compared with the firts levels of these game. This piece has a simple structure, you choose a class, (Commando, Enforcer, Bandit...) each class has unique advantages and also disadvantages and weak points. You´ll unlock classes and objects during your game experience.

Risk Of Rain has a particularity, It has a chronometer which starts in zero, and It begins going up at the start of the game, so the difficulty gradually increases during time. You will get upgrades  by opening chests, with money, money you could earn killing enemies, which spawn always near you. The firts objective is to find the teleport, once you´ve find it, a boss will appear and another chronometer will start, from zero to nineteen seconds. You have to stay alive this nineteen seconds during these time, the enemy-spawing will increase a lot, once this time is over, It won´t be any new monsters, and the objective will change into: "Kill the remaining enemies". As a result, it may be fourty enemies against you, so you will pass almost the entire game running for your life.

The variety of objects, bosses, classes and enemies make the game variety. The landscape and the monsters change between levels, each levels have three or four possible bosses, one of them will spawn randomly. Once you pass one level the needed money to open a chest will increase.

During the game, there are lots of times where you can´t where you are, here´s an example.

As a conclusion, I will recommend this game, It´s difficult but not impossible, also you will  probably feel like a god when you knock down one of the gigant bosses, also you can read interesting descriptions of the monsters in the main menu, follow by a more detailed picture. Finally I would like to mention the sentences that appear in the middle of the screen when you die, things like: "Don´t give up" or "Continue" don´t exist. These messages are more like: "Your death was extremely painful" or "You died in an hilarious pose".

Doubtlessly, Risk Of Rain is a game with lots of originality.
