Gameplay
Unlike the first game in the series, which was basically a 2D scrolling shooter, Risk of Rain 2 is set in a fully three-dimensional environment. The player travels through the game locations on foot, exploring underground caves, lush jungles, and elevated plateaus as well as other areas. The locations player will visit in RoR 2 are filled with various obstacles, like treacherous canyons, pits of lava, etc. To get to a higher located places player can use a jetpack, which can also be helpful in the battle against certain enemies. Like in the previous game, the player will be able to collect items, with varied level of rarity, which will grant temporary passive boosts.
During the playthrough, the player will encounter native inhabitants of the planet. These dangerous monsters can prove to be a real test of skill and resourcefulness. The enemies in RoR 2 can be divided into two categories: normal monsters and bosses. Normal opponents range from tiny wisps to humanoid Lemurians and Imps to machine-like Contraptions and Stone Golems. Each of the common monsters has a set amount of HP and damage, both of which are increased depending on their level. Boss monsters are significantly more resistant and deal more damage. All enemies also appear in the elite variants, which come in various types, e.g. fire and glacial.
