Fantastic MASSIVELY underrated game. Glad it's getting some new attention
Rain World is hugely under-appreciated and one of the most beautiful pixel art games on Switch. It’s tough, yes, but please don’t sleep on this one!
Coop!? Perfect, it is the only thing i would have wished for. But new Environments sounds awesome as well. Seems like a great DLC to me. I might finally get myself to finish the game now
Physical PLEASE!!!
This was one of the news I was hoping for in the Indie Direct.
Yeah baby!
When the game's selling point is the harsh difficulty, I skip the game. My reflexes are not what they used to be.
I love hard games, but this game was beyond me. When karma is so hard to earn and then you can lose it so very easily, it's really demoralizing. It's so unique and interesting in so many ways, but I just never got to the point of having fun l.
Of all the games I've ever played this is probably the best game that I didn't enjoy. Even on easy mode, I couldn't manage.
It's less so hard to me and more so a test of endurance; but like said in the comment above, it just wasn't very fun to traverse. Now co-op, I think that'd be great for a game like this... if I had friends who are half-decent at games. They struggle to figure out the controls for smash attacks in smash bros so I doubt they could handle this for long.
It sucked that co-op was only available with the expansion -_- Also, I think it wasnt even compatible with downpour zones.
Wanted to like the game since it's a neat use of AI with all the critters doing their own things, just wasn't very fun.
@Dman10 it's not an easy game but reflexes won't be an issue. It's more about precision and patience
Cool. I had no idea that this was coming. But why not just make Rain World 2, since the base game is so old now?
