Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 21 → 0.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

[h1]Risk of Rain[/h1] [h3]Modest but Great Roguelike[/h3] [h3]Worth trying![/h3] Risk of Rain is a roguelike game set on a fictional planet with hostile wildlife and various obstacles. This game also includes platforming and progression elements that add more depth to the gameplay. [b]Gameplay: Fun platformer roguelike game with good combat mechanics and unlockables Art: Nice pixel art style and good minimalistic environments Music: Amazing and immersive soundtrack Achievements: Easy but time-consuming achievements[/b] [h3]Gameplay[/h3] Risk of Rain has a slow pace at the beginning of each run due to our character having a very limited mobility and speed, aside from dealing low damage to enemies, this makes progressing through areas slow at first. However, as the run goes on, the game becomes more enjoyable as you gain new abilities and special items that make combat faster and more dynamic. The only problem I find with the game is that it has an inconsistent difficulty curve. At the beginning, the game can be quite challenging due to the lack of useful items compared to the number of enemies you'll have to fight if you spend too much time in the early areas. However, the late game becomes more manageable and even easy once you’ve gathered enough items, drones, and upgrades by that point. It’s pretty easy to break the game in the late stages if you’ve managed to survive up to that point. The variety of characters is pretty solid, and each class has its own set of skills and different playstyles. This feature helps the game’s replayability. Over time, however, it’s easy to end up sticking with a single character that best fits your playstyle. The number of available items to upgrade our character is quite good, and these can include both passive defensive and offensive items. [h3]Art and World Design[/h3] This game maintains a simple visual style. However, this sometimes makes enemies or accessible paths harder to see. Levels are randomly generated, and the environments are visually appealing. On the other hand, the design of playable characters and enemies is barely noticeable due to how small their sprites appear. Some are more detailed than others, but most of them don’t stand out visually. [h3]Music and Sound effects[/h3] Risk of Rain’s soundtrack is simply incredible. The variety of tracks is good, and each one creates a great gameplay atmosphere. [h3]Multiplayer[/h3] Unfortunately, the multiplayer mode is pretty much abandoned, but that’s understandable for a game that’s been out for such a long time.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 10: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

At first, the game feels really rewarding. Unlocking new characters and finding item combos adds a lot of variety to each run. But after a while, the levels start to repeat and the grindy progression gets tiring. It’s fun for a bit, but it gets boring pretty quick. 5.5/10 – Good start, but doesn’t stay fun for long.
J’ai rarement passé autant de temps absorbé par un seul jeu que dans Risk of Rain ; je l’ai entièrement platiné en 31 heures, et pourtant, je n’ai toujours pas l’impression d’avoir fait le tour de toutes les combinaisons possibles. Dès les premières notes de Chris Christodoulou qui retentissent, j’ai su que j’étais devant quelque chose de spécial : ces atmosphères oscillant entre mélancolie électronique et montée d’adrénaline synthétique forment un écrin parfait pour l’action frénétique qui s’ensuit. L’adrénaline monte dès la première boucle de spawn : on court, on shoote, on cherche le téléporteur, en priant pour un coup de chance sur un objet rare. Le level design, aléatoire mais toujours équilibré, réussit à renouveler le plaisir à chaque partie. Certes, certaines salles peuvent sembler répétitives, mais plus on progresse, plus on apprend à jongler entre survie et délire "build", c’est toujours un kiff inégalé. Côté points forts, je ne me lasse jamais de la bande-son, qui reste l’un des meilleurs arguments pour relancer le jeu, même en boucle. Le système de progression n’est pas linéaire, chaque run est une nouvelle histoire où l’on apprend à tirer le meilleur d’un objet improbable. Mais il y a aussi quelques faiblesses : l’interface de boutique peu lisible, le game feel parfois grésillant quand trop d’effets explosifs saturent l’écran, et surtout, le multijoueur. Ah, le multijoueur… J’y ai passé des heures, espérant partager l’expérience avec des potes. Résultat : déconnexions aléatoires, lags monstrueux, et cette fameuse bidouille avec Hamachi pour tenter de corriger les NAT. Je me revois encore, la nuit, à configurer réseaux virtuels, ouvrir des ports, en jurant comme un charretier devant un tutoriel vieux de dix ans qui ne fonctionne qu’à moitié. Parfois, on finissait par rejoindre la partie… pour y passer cinq minutes avant de se faire éjecter. C’était drôle, frustrant, mais ça fait partie du folklore. Au final, Risk of Rain (2013) reste pour moi une petite pépite indé, puissante, imparfaite, mais terriblement attachante. Ses failles de matchmaking et son interface old-school ne l’empêchent pas d’être l’un de mes jeux à runs préférés ; sa musique m’accompagne encore quand je ferme les yeux, je reviendrais peux-être en quête d’un nouvel objet légendaire qui fera décoller ma prochaine partie.
Não me dou muito bem com roguelikes, mas Risk of Rain é um dos poucos que me interessam, e MUITO! Tenho esse jogo na minha conta por um bom tempo, costumava jogar com meu amigo depois da escola, mas somente agora peguei para tentar finalizar o jogo de cabo a rabo. Eu nunca tinha conseguido passar nem mesmo da quarta fase antes, posso dizer que foi uma experiência muito bacana. Eu digo sem pestanejar que é um dos melhores jogos do gênero. Digo isso, mas tive uma experiência MISERÁVEL pra conseguir o 100% desse jogo. Cerca de 20 horas de jogo minhas foram somente dedicadas a conseguir o Monster Log do último chefão. Essa parte em especifico não foi nada legal, eu me vi em muitos momentos lutando para não dormir pois eu só estava jogando o jogo por jogar. Na minha opinião, devia ser um drop garantido ao atingir uma certa condição, ao invés de ser puramente baseado em sorte. De toda forma, essa é minha única crítica ao jogo. Jogando o jogo casualmente, você jamais vai encontrar esse problema específico. Agora falando de algumas coisas que me marcaram de maneira positiva. Os requisitos pra desbloquear os itens e personagens são super desafiantes, do melhor jeito possível (tirando a missão pra afogar 20 Whorls, que é só ridícula). Os pedacinhos de lore em cada log de item e de monstro são muito bem escritos e te dão uma visão muito maior do planeta em que o jogo se passa, a construção de mundo é sensacional. Quando você para pra ler esses logs, você tem uma visão diferente de tudo, de cada mapa, de cada monstro, de cada item. Tudo nesse jogo tem uma personalidade gigantesca. Cada personagem jogável tem uma gameplay totalmente diferente um do outro, o kit de habilidades te faz pensar em maneiras diferentes de enfrentar os inimigos e os desafios de plataforma das fases, me diverti bastante aprendendo a jogar com cada um. E apesar de mostrar a idade em muitas partes, seja nos menus simples, no sistema para jogar online ou até mesmo no jeito que ele crasha por nada, é só o jeitinho especial do jogo. Acredito que fica difícil a recomendação quando Risk of Rain Returns existe e é considerado a versão definitiva, porém ainda é super interessante de ver como a franquia Risk of Rain começou.
Better than 2 if you ask me.
Clunky, slow, dissatisfying. I had hoped for much greater things but just didn't find it fun or engaging. There are much better roguelikes and action platformers out there. I'd rather be playing Enter The Gungeon or Spelunky.
Love this game! Got on sale way back in 2016, when the price was only 0,60 cents. And for that amount of money there is value in every single playthrough
Much as I love this game and think it's excellent, with the release of Risk of Rain Returns I think it's probably better to pick that one up since it fixes a lot of the annoyances that plagued the original release. This version is cheaper and tends to go on sale more often than Returns though, so if money is tight I'd say this is still quite playable and worth your time.
Risk of Rain is a fun roguelike with great ideas and plenty of challenge, but the multiplayer is notoriously unreliable. LAN barely works, and setting up online co-op is such a hassle that playing with friends is unlikely. Solo runs can still be enjoyable, but if your main goal is co-op, Risk of Rain 2 is the better option — it takes the same concept and makes it far more accessible for group play.
Pretty fun, I hate spiders, and jelly fishes >:(
