Brings what grabs you about Risk of Rain: runs that differ every time, playing together in co-op and a sci-fi setting.

A fast 2D roguelike action game where you stack items to become absurdly powerful while the difficulty keeps climbing with time. The remake adds new survivors, abilities and content, and co-op makes the chaos even better.

20XX

Jumping and platforming

A Mega Man-inspired action platformer roguelite with procedurally generated levels, new weapons and abilities, and tough bosses, playable solo or in co-op.

Hive Jump

Runs that play out differently every time

A 2D run-and-gun platformer where you blast through procedurally built alien hives alone or in co-op, gather resources and take down the hive queen. Its Spelunky-like structure and squad flavor make for frantic, chaotic runs.

Risk of Rain 2

Shooting and gunplay

A frantic 3D roguelike shooter where random items stack into absurdly powerful builds while the difficulty relentlessly ramps up over time. Fight across a hostile alien planet solo or with up to three friends in co-op.

Super Mutant Alien Assault

Shooting and gunplay

You blast through rapid single-screen arcade levels where each stage shuffles its layout, enemies and vending machines, and lingering too long mutates the aliens into nastier forms. Dodging, platforming and unlocking new gear make it a tense, addictive run, best shared with a friend.

Roguelands

Runs that play out differently every time

As a Galactic Cadet you hop across procedurally generated planets, blast through enemy hordes and collect loot to keep improving your build. It also works in co-op with friends and delivers plenty of loot chasing in a pixel-art package.

Downwell

Jumping and platforming

You plummet down a well with gun boots, blasting enemies while collecting gems. This minimalist roguelike thrives on fast reflexes, precise air control, and a striking limited-palette look.

30XX

Jumping and platforming

You jump, shoot and slash through procedurally shifting levels in a roguelike platformer inspired by Mega Man X. Swapping between powers and facing towering Guardians keeps every run fresh, and a friend can join you for the trip.

NeuroVoider

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast twin-stick shooter where you play as a brain piloting robot bodies, constantly scavenging weapons and parts from fallen enemies to craft new builds. Features permadeath and co-op for up to four players.
