15 Survivors to Master

combinations of Artifacts and discover exciting new ways to play."
Potent Pick-Ups

"Risk of Rain is better than ever with a host of new items to discover, equip, and combine.

I recently had the chance to try out the newly-released Risk of Rain Returns. I was immediately
impressed by the vibrant visuals and the new ways to play. I was eager to dive into the roguelike
and explore all the new content.

I started the game as the Enforcer, a new Survivor with a shield that can absorb incoming damage.
I immediately noticed how the game had been changed to accommodate the new Survivors. I was
able to quickly get to grips with the Enforcer’s abilities and start exploring the world.

As I explored, I discovered a variety of new items and pick-ups that I could use to my advantage.
I was able to equip a variety of Artifacts that changed the rules of the game, such as a random
equipment item that changed every time I used it, or an Imp invasion every 10 minutes. I was
able to combine these Artifacts with the new Lunar items to create powerful combinations.

I was also able to find a variety of new Legendary items that I could use to further increase my
power. I was able to find powerful new weapons and armor that I could use to take on my
enemies.

Overall, I was very impressed with Risk of Rain Returns. The game is full of exciting new
content, and I had a lot of fun exploring the world and discovering new ways to play. I highly
recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and challenging roguelike experience.
