This is way harder than Risk of Rain 2

[Vasthe]

ROR2 so fkin easy, this 2 dimensions make everything so hard

[Magenta Lizard]

ror1 was harder to learn for me than ror2 and rorr is harder for me to learn than ror1

i imagine this must seem impossibly difficult for something that hasn't played the original

[qwert5550]

its mainsly hard becasue your cant mosue aim and hitting birds is kinda hard

[Muscarine]

If by harder you mean stupid, then yes

[whyeven]

I have noticed at the very least this game is a lot more difficult than RoR1, I haven't played RoR2 but I'd imagine the 3d nature would make survivability better. Item randomization seems a lot different than the original, I'm not finishing runs with as many items as before, elites drop items from clover way less frequently, and enemies feel more dangerous with more health and more damage, as well as there being new elite variants too.
The game feels like the difficulty time scale is accurate now too, where getting to hard means things are already dicey. I've had runs where I went at the boss as soon as I found it on very easy and got clapped, so yeah it's pretty hard, I hesitate to say weirdly hard, but that's just me coming from RoR1.

skill issue but it's ok to die in this game, just try again

[NoSignificantHarassment]

Yeah, the game seems harder than it's predecesors, but now you can unlock more items and abilities with the Providence trials and Red items seem to appear more frequently. So the tools are there to make it easier, the rest is a skill issue tbh

[Magenta Lizard]

it wouldn't be so hard if everything would stop dropping equipment all the time....

[Vasthe]

Fr I have only won 1 rainstorm, with Sniper. Everyone else that isn't Sniper just feels so weak, and takes ages to kill anything. Sniper superiority.

It's harder than 2 because ror2 is fundamentally designed to be much easier. I also think RoR2 isn't a good game but that's just my opinion after 250 hours or so, pre-dlc, 100%ing the game. Plently of people still like it, but I do very much prefer this.
RoRR is on the same difficulty level as the original sans some new enemies, or unless you like turning on all artifacts. It's harder because the fundamental design is way different than 2. For one, there are no item cascades where items proc other items proc other items proc... you get it. It's also why I actually like the Judgement trial.

[IGull]

It's difficult in different ways which makes it depend on what you're more comfortable with.
Personally RoRR is easier, I can win monsoon runs a lot more consistently and with any character, unlike RoR2.

[Joshua Kurayami]

Well yeah, RoR2 requires little to no effort to play and beat, even on Monsoon.

[Ξ Julius]

Of course and that's the beauty of the game design. RoR2 is a good game but way too easy because of the 3D space

[Ben bitmişim]

3D environment in RoR2 meant you could be shot and possibly killed by enemies you can't see offscreen so they probably had to tune down the monster spawn rate. Which is why in earlier stages you find yourself waiting for enemies to spawn so you can afford to open chests.

Being able to shoot any enemy you want also made it a lot easier.

[Odaxelagnia]

Both games have a learning curve, in rorr/ror1 it typically picks up pace later than ror2.

[JeanLoïcScoutEco+]

I kinda know why but this RoR1 remake really don't grab me more into it than RoR2 which was a masterpiece.
And my friends don't want to play it since the 2 is funnier than this one.
