2. Tanks You can Own

Discover all the playable characters, their unique abilities, and how to unlock them in Risk of Rain Returns. Master each class to survive Petrichor V!

Alright, so you've crash-landed on Petrichor V and the only way off is through sheer grit and a whole lot of firepower. Risk of Rain Returns throws you into the action with a bunch of different characters, each with their own style. Think of them like different tools in your survival kit – some are for smashing, some for zapping, and some for just generally causing chaos. Knowing who you're playing as and what they can do is half the battle.

The game's packed with over 15 distinct classes, so you're not stuck with just one way to play. You've got your classic survivors like the Commando, who's all about reliable firepower, and then you get into some wilder stuff like the Miner or the Engineer, each bringing their own unique mechanics to the table. The best part? You unlock more of these characters as you achieve certain goals, so there's always a new playstyle to discover and master.

Beyond the characters themselves, the world is teeming with enemies and bosses, and you'll be exploring over 13 different environments. Each stage is a unique challenge with its own set of enemies, interactable objects like shrines and chests, and even random variants to keep you on your toes. Plus, with new items, including some borrowed from Risk of Rain 2, and the ability to find Artifacts that mess with the game's rules, every run feels fresh. Don't forget to check out the Item Log and Monster Log to dive deeper into the lore and learn enemy weaknesses. It's all about building up your arsenal and knowledge to survive as long as possible!
