This game has been on my wish-list for a very long time based on youtube recommendations on how the complex ecosystem works. Looks very different from other games which is a big plus in my eyes. Going to get it as it is rarely on sale.

Looking at the metacritic score, users seem to love it compared to critics. The sale is not for long.

Game description by publisher

"You are a slugcat. The world around you is full of danger, and you must face it – alone. Separated from your family in a devastating flood, you will need to find food and shelter between terrifying torrential downpours which threaten to drown all life. Climb through the ruins of an ancient civilization, evade the jaws of vicious predators, and discover new lands teeming with strange creatures and buried mysteries. Find your family before something makes a meal of you!

Inspired by the simplicity and aesthetics of 16-bit classics, this survival platformer requires clever decision-making, both to catch your own prey and to avoid the jaws of hungry predators. Each ravenous foe in your path will be cunning, vicious and always on the hunt – eager to sink their teeth into you, or even each other. As a small, soft slugcat you must rely on stealth and wit rather than force: learn the ecosystem and turn their strengths to your advantage. Maybe then you can survive… Rain World!

Features
• Explore a vast world of over 1600 rooms, spanning 12 diverse regions filled with ancient secrets and undiscovered dangers.
• Intense, primal predator encounters will challenge your reflexes. Limited resources and the constant, impending threat of rain will test your nerve.
• Procedural design and individualistic AI— every playthrough is a unique challenge!
• Play as The Monk and The Hunter! 2 playable characters corresponding to easier and more aggressive playstyles.
• Control your unique campaign with accessibility, speedrun, and difficulty options sculpted to your particular taste and style.
• Multiplayer Arena for up to 4 players, featuring Competitive and Sandbox modes.
• Bestiary featuring dangerous predators and delicious prey."

  • My kids love the game. Good fun multiplayer mode as well

    • Is this a punishing game? Just based on some short footage, it seems like the world is quite brutal but I'm glad kids can enjoy it. Is multiplayer just single player but coop? Does difficulty scale?

      • Multiplayer, I just know I have 4 kids in front of a big screen cackling as they play the game and dodge the rain. Not sure about difficulty scaling.

  • +1

    I recommend this on any platform but Switch honestly. The small screen is not well suited. I guess if you play docked it would be better.

  • The coop thing comes with downpour btw, which is another purchase.

    • Looks like downpour dlc is on sale too. Do you highly recommend the dlc?
