Risk of Rain's blend of pain and pleasure coming to PlayStation Vita
Hopoo Games' punishing but satisfying action-platformer Risk of Rain is migrating over to the PlayStation Vita, publisher Chucklefish announced today. The news was first revealed on Twitter by Chucklefish's Ashton Raze, the lead writer of Starbound, and confirmed by Sony Senior Business Development Manager Shahid Ahmad. No timetable for the port has been shared. Risk of Rain follows the lone survivor of a train crash on a mysterious alien planet inhabited by a slew of hostile monsters. The goal is to survive as long as possible, but with each passing moment Risk of Rain ramps up the difficulty. In our review, we lauded Risk of Rain for its "hard-won thrill" and said that if you can "accept that challenge, if you can pick yourself up and start all over again whenever you fail, you will lose hours to Risk of Rain. Whether you mean to or not." [Image: Hopoo Games]
Risk of Rain Review: Catch your death
Imagine stepping into a warm, inviting hot tub. As you relax in the water, an attendant pours in some bath salts. You register a rise in the temperature, but think nothing of it. The attendant returns, this time sprinkling fragrant herbs into the water. It's getting hot in here. The attendant is back, pouring some concoction into the bubbling water. No, not bubbling. Boiling. That's when the lid comes down, and you realize that you're not being cleansed. You're being cooked. Welcome to Risk of Rain.
