Risk of Rain Returns

A remake of the original 2D roguelike shooter, with new visuals and extra content. You pick a survivor, fight through stages as difficulty rises with time, and stack items that combine into absurdly strong builds. Every run plays differently, and up to four players can team up. Is it your kind of game?
