Bulletstorm isn't the only Gearbox-published title that received a surprise release on the eShop this weekend. Risk of Rain 2 also made a splash on Nintendo's hybrid device.
This game was previously featured during the recent Indie World Showcase and is a sequel to Hopoo Games' roguelike 2D platformer. This second entry is priced at £24.99 / $29.99 and includes the most recent PC update, Scorched Acres.
The console versions of the game will also receive huge and free content updates identical to the Steam version. Below is the full roadmap:
Each season up until one final update in Summer 2020, players can enjoy new and returning Survivors, bosses, stages, and more.
And to celebrate the launch, here's a new cinematic trailer for the game:

I'll have to see how it runs on Switch before purchasing, but I've been eyeing this game for a while.
I picked this up and I really like it.
$10 more than on PC and still early access? Meh. I'll wait till it's done.
It's really cheap on the Argentinian eshop, like U$8
Just picked it up
Soo nice seeing those enemies again but in 3d
But it's hard, the "can't get past the first level" kind of hard
Would be awesome if they add gyro at some point... I guess it's just too unbalanced for analog sticks
Edit: just completed my first loop, I'm getting the hang of it
I just got some stuff on the Eshop sale. Going to wait for price drop before I get it. Risk of Rain... more like risk of debt for Switch owners in July-September. 😓
That Switch tax...
Does early access mean they haven't finished making the game yet?
Oh god, this is greater than I could ever imagine.
Not Switch tax this time, same price on all consoles, but cheaper on PC. Looks interesting but so much else to play at the moment.
@JediKadabra Switch tax on PS4?!?! What is this!
So, is this l00tbox o-rama? Obama llama? Honestly wonder what the gameplay is like since there was none in the trailer.
I love the first one so much. Heaps to unlock, characters with significant differences that require different styles of play. Second only to binding of isaac in my book. They both can be difficult, but you can also OP to the point where you break the game. But I would have preferred another 2d risk of rain rather than this 3d game. Still, another addition to my wishlist.
$30 for an incomplete game?
@Ajent ok so console tax then?
It seems buggy and performance is woeful...
@NullPointerExcep How does it run? Its it smooth?
@JediKadabra 👍
@JediKadabra no its very laggy, quit ugly, and the fps really drops when the action starts.
I see it's on Amazon NA physical but will wait to see how it rolls out before going for it.
@JediKadabra it's okay, but there's some short pauses when there's too many explosions or when that level up flag power up spawns
Noticeably lower than native resolution on docked mode
Also looks like all shadows are pre rendered or deactivated. The player character's shadow is just a circle
Definitely playable though
