Improved audio
Various balance updates
New Survivors
Original Survivors with new abilities
New weapons as well as some weapons seen from Risk of Rain 2
New enemies and interactables
New stage variants
New game mode
An overhaul in the game’s multiplayer
This is just the handful of changes mentioned in their latest Dev Thoughts video, which also mentions that Gearbox Publishing will be publishing anything related to the Risk of Rain franchise, including Risk of Rain Returns. ‘
Those who jumped into the sequel might be surprised that the game actually didn’t start out as a 3D game but a 2D platformer.
No exact release date was given.
Octopath Traveler 0 is a mixed bag, with some genuinely likeable characters and engaging story arcs, alongside others that fall flat. You then have a final act that had me banging my head against the wall. Still, its satisfying combat system, strong party synergy, and striking visual style make it an enjoyable JRPG overall.
