Beyond a remaster
In Returns, each character will have three alternate abilities, although the video above only shows one for each. I like a bunch of them, but in particular: the Sniper, whose alternate fire lets them choose exactly where their shot lands, so they can prioritise enemies; the Enforcer, who has a shield they can use to ram enemies of all sizes backwards; and the Chef, who can cook enemies into meals that confer their own status effects upon players who consume them. You can readmore about the alt abilities in this post on Steam.
Risk Of Rain Returns is due for release sometime later this yearvia Steam. It’ll be the first Risk Of Rain game sinceHopoo sold the series to Gearbox, its long-time publisher. It also sounds as if Returns might also be Hopoo’s last game in the series, as they’re ready to move onto making different things.
