Risk of Rain 2 - Nintendo Switch

A great addicting game once you get used to it. It’s difficult in the beginning. You start with a somewhat boring character and you don’t know what you’re doing and die quickly. Once you start getting new characters and understand the items you will have a good time, especially with co-op. Basically every run you will get random items from chests, going from stage to stage after a boss. There is an unlockable modifier that allows you to choose your items as well which makes it more fun imo. I’ve beaten the game in the hardest difficulty (monsoon) at the hardest lvl (99), but I still enjoy replaying and coming up with different item combinations because they all stack and influence each other. I recommend it if you’re looking for a repetitive but addicting 3D rougelike game, especially if you can convince friends to play with you. A few honest Cons: No local coop except wireless coop which require multiple switches and games. The switch version crashes every once in a while, online and offline. The online community is scanty on switch. You’ll find one partner online most of the time, two very rarely. It’ll take a few minutes to 20 minutes to forever to find someone. When playing online you’re at the mercy of your partners, including whatever crazy modifiers (artifacts) they want. They might take all the items and rush to the boss, which is difficult especially for beginners. They also disconnect often. The game is somewhat vague about what the items actually do and how they stack. You’ll be checking that wiki. Sometimes the boss will spawn in awkward positions and become difficult to find. The final stage has some platforming and it’s pretty awkward. Falling also takes out most of your health. Biggest Pros: The characters are unique and fun to use. The game allows you to be overpowered. Because the game is difficult, gradually becoming powerful is rewarding and feels earned. Gives you the first game for free which is not available on Eshop, also it’s cheaper on Amazon. Short review of Risk of Rain 1: Pros: Has local couch coop and local wireless coop. Alot of characters, more than the second. A variety of items, a lot are different from the second game. Cons: Awkward platforming. Falling might make you go in circles. Especially awkward during couch coop. A lot of backtracking due to the linear nature of the environment. Finding the boss can be frustrating.

This game is fun, plain and simple. I got this for my kids because it seemed interesting and different. So glad I did. They really enjoy playing it. They like the art style and all the different level backgrounds, it's challenging for them, but not hard to where they want to give up. They like replaying it in order to figure out how to move forward. I just like the fact they have to think in order to play it. It's a great game, I even enjoy watching them play it, and seeing them excited when they beat a hard enemy or figure out a problem. I hope this helps anyone out interested in this game.

There's a bit of a learning curve at first, but that's more part of the fun to me for games like this. Will there be moments of panic when RNG decides you don't get the last piece to finish your overpowered build to steamroll? Yes. Will it potshot you from behind and end your run even when you finished that overpowered build? Also yes. But that's the point. Rougelikes/Roguelites like these have entrenched themselves as the kind of game where you are MEANT to bash your head against a wall over and over until you either keel over with a concussion, break the wall with sheer stubbornness, or realize the wall is just knee-high and you can go over it. It's a great time. Mostly. Online multiplayer can sometimes be jank, but that's part and parcel of Switch gaming.

Most people probably haven't heard of Risk of Rain, those that have like myself have been into the game since the original PC release. This version actually comes with the Original game which plays magnificently on the Switch whether in handheld or TV mode. Of course the focus of this being the Sequel, Risk of Rain 2 which turns the original game being a 2d pixel side scroller into a fully fledged 3D 3rd person. The game plays solidly enough, and runs great. The gameplay basically being no different from the original just being adapted to the new style, the gameplay itself is much better with a pro controller. I would also suggest turning off the movement based aiming, it is much easier aiming with the joystick. The one different from 1 to 2 is they switch Jump from A to B, which is easily changeable in the config. Regardless, love this game. A classic whether you play it on Switch or any other console.

Loved the first game on PC, would get so many items that the game would crash from the extensive playtime LOL! The second game is so different from the first, but has similar objectives/motives which are unique to the brand. Overall a really fun game to play. Takes a few tries to get the hang of different characters/abilities. Can spend hundreds of hours playing it, experiencing a different playthrough each time. The switch has an aspect of additional interaction with how moving the controllers can adjust your aim, keeping you on your toes and allowing you a much different experience than PC/Other Consoles. Actually had an issue where my save data corrupted and I could not progress with new items. Switch customer service for ROR was very helpful! They actually resolved the issue within two weeks and rolled out an entire update over it. Great game, great developers, great staff, great community!

I haven't played much of the game yet but it's one of those repetitive games that can be addicting if you like that sort of thing. Its a rinse and repeat sort of game basically seeing how far you can get on each run. I personally was excited to try Risk of Rain 2 but ended up liking Risk of Rain 1 better. The graphics are retro style but that is the charm of it and I also enjoy the simple controls for ROR1. ROR2 was a bit much for me to handle as there is aiming involved and I am not very good at those types of shooter games. For some this game may be too repetitive but if you are one of those that likes that type of game then I would say give this a try as it looks like there a lot of upgrades and customizations for your character here. Hope this review helps you out. Thanks.

The item and service is first class 💰

This game is so much fun, infinitely replayable, and super addicting. I love it so much I also bought the PC version, but have no fear - the switch version runs perfectly. The only noticable difference between the switch/console version and the PC version is that the game updates come out on PC 2-3 months before they arrive on console. Other than that one downside, this game is perfection. Buy it. 4.8/5

Everything in the best order, fast shipping, good communication and good price :)

Jadore ce jeux il est arrivé avant la date prevu et le jeux est impecable

子供が欲しがったので代理購入しました。 毎日、学校から帰ると集中してやりこんでます。

El juego llegó en excelentes condiciones y mucho antes de lo programado. Lo jugué un rato y la vdd es muy adictivo. No es de gráficas muy ostentosas pero de que te engancha te engancha. En esta versión vienen los 2 juegos. Nunca había jugado nada de este título pero le di una oportunidad al 1 y a pesar de ser un indie de gráficas pixel art la vdd es muy entretenido jugarlo.

Tremendo juego, aparte trae el Risk of Rain 2, que mas puedes pedir
