Whether you intend toplay it with all-classic rulesor with the latest selection of quality-of-life improvements,Risk of Rain Returnsis a true return to form. Before you truly get to enjoy its considerable scope of content, though, you’re going to need to unlock all the unique survivors.
Indeed, much as is the case with both the originalRisk of Rainand its widely acclaimed 3D sequel,Risk of Rain 2, your initial roster of characters and items is relatively limited when you start playing. For example,Risk of Rain Returnsfeatures a grand total of 15 unique survivors to choose from,three of whom are entirely new. Yet, you only get access to two of them when you start the game. This, note, is an upgrade compared to the original, which had you begin with the Commando and literally no one else.
How to unlock all Risk of Rain Returns characters?
In trueRisk of Rainfashion, each and every one of the 15 unique survivors comes with their own set of unlock requirements. In some instances, the requirement may be as simple as finishing a fullReturnsmatch once, while in others, you may need to collect a whole slew of specific items all at once.Take the Acrid, for example, who you’ll need to fight and beat before it’s added to your roster of playable characters!
None of these are necessarily all that difficult, as you’ve surely noticed by now. Getting the Chef, however, or the Loader could take a while, as you’ll need to rely on RNG to give you access to all the items you need. Still, it’s all in good fun, and the characters themselves are all competent in action. Certainly worth the effort!
