Risk of Rain is a roguelike dungeon game where instead of dungeons, you are thrown into a semi-open arena-type world. Here, you teleport from one stage to another. It’s an awesome game that will keep you hooked till the very end because of its face-paced gameplay, variety of enemies, including bosses, and of course, hundreds of collectible items to aid you in your run.
Players might get overwhelmed by too many items presented to them. Some items are swappable in a specific container, while others remain stacked in your inventory. Nevertheless, the stacked-up item also amplifies the effects and boosts the benefits of the items. This content
