Just done my first full run with a friend, took us 80 minutes to do it, unlocking the Mercenary on the way. The game is still as good and addictive. Completely works in 3D.

Risk of Rain 2 now out on Steam - Early Access for 18€ - plan full release in a year
- Thread starter Eolz

I played about 3 hours of it last night. Didn't run into many bugs. It's enjoyable, but I am not sure I enjoy it more than the first yet. I also think the difficulty needs tweaking. With easy I did a 1.5 hour run. On normal I couldn't make it more than 10-20 minutes. They should make easy a bit harder and normal a bit easier.
Well, there is no user profile saved for me. Not save corruption, no save at all.
This is my own fault. Should never have tried an early access game.
The buy 1 get 1 free special really helped make it an impulse buy. Never played the first one, but this one looked fun so I picked it up.
I watched my buddy stream this and he cheesed the Magma Worm on his first try by using a cave on the outskirts they couldn't enter.
Wow, they REALLY managed to convert everything from 2D to 3D!
Several of my most successful runs in the first game involved cheesing in a cave too
Wonderful game - could never really grasp the first RoR, characters were so small. But 2 is super dope. Can't wait for more.
I hope they add steam achievements, it kept me playing the 1st one for a while even after I beat everything.
It feels like such an accomplishment when a game can move so fluidly from 2D to 3D. This game is so much fun.
I didn't really want to jump in during early access, but all the praise and BOGO tipped the scales - and sure enough, it's really damn good! Again, amazing how they essentially just translated RoR1 into 3D so cleanly and recognizably. I expected to be way more overwhelmed/confused, but it works really well.
Double jump in 3D feels so good
Black Hole + multiple AoEs and life leech gave me my first loop and Huntress, but I got too damn tired and started sleeping during the desert after the loop D:
Huntress is really cool, like her more here than in the first game. Also wish they add the slight pause from her Glaive to Commando's Suppressive Fire. It felt like a powerful mini gunkata in RoR1, here it feels like a faster Double Tap. Full Metal Jacket also needs more of a oomph visually.

Dataminers found Bandit's model in game, and files for HAN-D, Sniper and Enforcer. Sniper and Bandit but no Loader, Acrid or Miner?? BRB ASKING FOR REFUND
I knew as soon as I seen gameplay for this they went the right direction of 3D. God damn this game is a ton of fun. Can't wait to jump back in tomorrow.
Played this tonight with a couple of friends and yeah, it's a ton of fun. I never really got into the first game all that much but so far this one feels really damn good. Only unlocked the Huntress (I think it is? The one with the bow and arrow and the glaive) as an extra character so far.
Simply amazing how well they pulled off the transition to 3D. The first was one of my favorite co-op games and I have a lot of fond memories of it, so glad to see the sequel delivering and doing well.
The switch to 3D is absolutely phenomenal.
I can see new players being confused, but as for me and peeps who played the first RoR, we're right back home!

Awesome game, the jump to 3D is all I ever asked for. In my first run I somehow could not find the teleporter so I just jumped off a cliff after 30 minutes. xD
Depends on what you want to do, but if you find a teleporter and beat the boss in an area quickly the boss drops better loot is worth mentioning. Given summoning a boss early also means no upgrades to scavenge, and if you're underpowered and fight a boss at best you may take longer just to beat it and thus no better loot, at worst you'll get overwhelmed while underpowered and die.
Can someone describes me how the gameplay loops work ? Videos of the game got me interested but i' m not sure on the loop
Edit ; nevermind, bought !

Play a level, find teleporter that spawns a boss and takes you to next level. Enemies spawn periodically and the game gets harder as time goes on. You need to kill enemies for experience and money, so it's a balance between advancing levels before it gets too much for you to handle and waiting around and killing things enabling you to become more powerful.
Thanks seems very cool. Now that i bought it i need to find where the extra copy is :)
If you are looking for a home for the extra copy, I think I could find space in my library!
Got gifted this tonight. Game is fucking awesome!
It is kinda fucking crazy how similar it is to the first game but in a 3D field. Really creative!

You absolutely need skill to survive after 20ish minutes (and to beat RoR1 final level/final boss), but you also need gear. Getting super unlucky can't be compensated by skill, but it's not solely dependent on drops either. The longer you go the more options you get, too (more chests with multiple options you can choose from, the newly added 3D printers and temple of order, etc) and there's the runes (not implemented in 2 yet but already present in the menu). In RoR1, runes allowed a greater degree of control both on drops and difficulty - there was one that straight up allowed you to pick exactly what which chest gave you, and another that made all enemies explode upon death dealing %HP damage, for instance.
I wouldn't really compare RoR (either one) to any traditional shooter, even if it got closer to the genre with the jump to 3D.
This game is amazing, never played 1 but my friend got us 2 and its very addicting, pretty hard too, havent complete a full run yet.
Anyone else having difficulty finding the teleporter? In some levels, like in the swamp, I can sometimes take upwards to 10 or 15 minutes of running around in circles trying to find it. I feel like I will eventually just give up on the game due to that.
