For a little over a decade we have been enjoying a scene indie that has left us great titles that have great ideas behind them. And they are so good to this day we continue to enjoy them, or evolutions who took notice of them to take a little step further with which to further improve our current panorama of video games. Y risk of rain Is he one of those culprits, or don’t you know what his influence has been?
A roguelike that comes back to life
It was in 2013 when it came to PC, in digital format, risk of rain, a game that at that time was already called roguelike and that basically comes to tell us that no two games are the same, that every time we start one we are going to find a different map and a progression of enemies that does not develop in the same mechanical and predictable way that other titles have.
What’s more, so influential was this risk of rain that He has an outstanding student as he is Dead Cells, one of the great wonders of recent years and who was infected by that game mechanic whereby the protagonist, when he dies, has to go back to the beginning of everything, so the ultimate goal is to move forward, move forward and move forward until reaching the most far as possible without enemies hunting us down.
Well, if you met this risk of rain at the time, or you feel like doing it now, you should know that big news is coming because once Gearbox has taken control of the franchise, we will have a return to the original thanks to a kind of remake, remastering, rework? of the title released in 2013.

Risk of Rain Returns is, according to its developers, a remake of the 2013 title so we can expect him to repeat practically all his qualities. Of course, we cannot affirm that it will have the same maps or progression because it is a roguelike where these things are generated at the beginning of each game, almost randomly, but all the elements that are part of its concept will be present for the new generations to discover.
Risk of Rain Returns It does not have a definitive release date, although we know that it will arrive at some point in 2023 on PC and, more specifically, on Steam. where it will offer a characteristic that already at the time allowed it to differentiate itself from others: its cooperative soul through which several friends can connect online and advance together avoiding being killed on that alien planet where waves of enemies force us to always choose the best combination of skills, weapons and power-ups. The ultimate goal is resist all those enemy charges and clean up the stage enough to allow us to progress to the next phase, and so on, constantly until the end.
