the work is obviously there

-all spritework was remade, everything has much more detail and fluid animation work
-new unique event bosses
-whole new suite of items added to the game, including artifacts
-more secrets to find out in the world that give you cool stuff like skins
-new characters, like Pilot & Drifter, and returning old character, Artificer
-most characters have 4 new abilities added to them, some more, some less
-tweak the game to play how you want settings (dmg taken, dmg done, if you want RoR1 classic items and mechanics only or remake)
-providence trials which are basically minigames you can aim for high scores in

$15 is actually a steal for how much this remaster is. It's only $5 more than the original for a complete remastering of the game that is superior in every way. Depending on where you work, that's a single hour of pay, in exchange for hundreds of hours of replay time.

You're saying a game you haven't even played is a letdown?

Not even close. Do your homework again.

Besides obvious visual changes and different engine, remake provide bunch of content additions and QoL features. Also multiplayer now works just great.

Also, dont forget that original RoR has no artifacts and all characters on release date and we don't know about plans about remake support.

minor spelling mistake, argument invalidated + added to international loser list

seriously though, maybe you should ask someone who's actually played rorr and ror1 for their opinion on it... rorr has much nicer controls, new characters+abilities, the providence trials, non-godawful multiplayer, etc. I think rorr is worth $25, and I only payed $15

honestly to me it sounds like ur ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ just to ♥♥♥♥♥, no1 cares or asked

[scragglie]

this is the unfortunate reality of what happens when you sell your ip to a large publisher like gearbox, they can and will monetize the ♥♥♥♥ out of the game and remaster and milk the franchise down to the very last drop of cash. i mean, they are literally making a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile gacha cashgrab game, and it looks like absolute slop. to be fair, i think rorr is actually very good, and beautiful, but im not excited for the future of this franchise. gearbox isnt exactly known for improving the franchises they get their grubby mitts on.

If it's the same then you don't need to buy it. Just go be the smart guy who saved a couple of bucks and don't get all mad on the forums. This post only makes you look toxic and poor.

ROR is a good game but if you expect me to pay 15 bucks for a game that I basically already own, then you're insane. If you actually put work into this, ok, I don't see much work here though. I see a SLIGHTLY better paintjob. Pity because I was looking forward to this. And while 2d isn't the same as 3d. I wonder why you even bothered to "improve" ROR1 while ROR2 exists and THIS the level of quality is, you thought was ok to ship out to players. Such a joke, such a let down and such a waste of my time. wish I would've never wishlisted this back then and got hyped up about it. Well lessen learned. Maybe someday when it's on sale for 2 bucks.

You should do a side-by-side then tell us RoR:R looks only slightly better.

did you actually even play risk of rain (2013) or are you just saying that to try and have a valid opinion

[LuckyDude]

I lost interest on RoR games, I played before RoR 1 and RoR 2. I suddenly found Returns version on steam and instant buy just for pixel art remade. Maybe it was insane, but mobile donate games requires a lot of money just for a one skin, when on this game everything was repainted. A fair deal.

[Zefar]

This version runs at constant 60 FPS where as the old version would start to lag past 1 hour mark if you aimed for certain items. Even normally it'd start to lag due to the amount of enemies.

Now? Well I haven't been able to get the FPS dip below 60 yet and I've done 2-3 hour long runs.

The amount they ask for isn't even much. There are far worse remasters out there that cost more that have done far less.

[LuckyDude]

If they implement mod support that it will be more definitive reason to buy because you can fine tune game rules as you like. My first mod will remove a penalty for backpedal movement speed. Because when you overwhelmed by enemies it’s normal that you will backpedal and shoot at the same time. When in RoR 1 that was impossible, in Returns version you can backpedal with turtle speed.
But I’m not sure how they want to Implement mod support with game maker engine without sharing scripts. The undertalemodtool needs sources for original script if you want to tweak game rules in data.win file.

Yeah just like I said, not much work. If you think that is much work, good for you.

Well, maybe you can make something better. But I doubt.
Obviously you has no clue about work and effort.

You should just ignore game and go over, but you post your very important opinion here and pretend to be mature. Try better.

It's so funny to me how peoples' perception of money can be so drastically different for video games in particular. Shelling out $20+ for a movie that only lasts for a couple of hours or dishing out $10+ for one fast food meal, oh you betcha! $900 for a new phone that's basically the same thing but slightly better, sign me the eff up!

But $15 for a video game that provides dozens of hours of entertainment? Sudden blasphemy, shame on all those greedy developers. Yeah, I get it, you're looking for differences between this and the original-- but most people are going to tell you that enough is there to keep you busy for an amount of time that's worth $15.

Don't know what to tell you, man. I played the heck out of the first game and am having a great time with Returns with 70 hours already. If you still have a hankering for RoR gameplay, I feel like the upgrade is worth it. Trials will keep you busy for a while, there are new characters to play and master and lots of new items, enemies, stage features and gameplay tweaks to mix up the formula, and there are enough alternate abilities to make old characters feel fresh. There are also a lot of customization options to make the game play to your liking. Calling it a "slightly better paint job" is a disservice. But it's your money.
