I think the vibe would fit better if it was an inversion of the normal setting, with the player taking control of the monsters and the bosses being what the survivors look like from the other side. The weird proportions wouldn't look as off then, because it's alien fantasy creatures and not people in space suits. Instead of using existing currencies for a mobile game that has a totally different gameplay loop than the others, have them gather the elements of creation. Mass is boring but necessary, so it's your coins. Design is slightly rarer but has ties to sharpening and extenuating an aspect of a thing, so it can. E used to upgrade abilities alongside Mass, and Blood. Blood would be a moderately rare drop, used to increase the base character and some level of milestone upgrades for abilities. Soul is used instead of Sap to roll for new characters, because in universe it's what animates the creatures and most importantly, using more soul(so the more expensive gatchas) results in a more powerful but less stable creation. A legendary character would be very specialized, but very powerful in that niche. Given that the loss of Providence drove Lemurians to create the False Son, there's at least an interesting story detailing how exactly they did that, and that could be explored with a mobile game. The new characters feel like bad OCs made by someone who heard the game describe but had not seen it.
God, you made me think of a Risk of Rain game where you play as Providence or Mithrix, creating constructs to defend yourself from survivors, that would also be awesome
They DONT From the style from the design they just dont fit in risk of rain just a random character even modded risk of rain characters manage to feel risk of rainy but this is just no
It’s kinda lazy that almost every character uses Commando’s slide. The only exceptions being Artificer, Huntress, and Rocketman. And even in saying that, Rocketman’s skill is still just a slide with extra words.
@@Nikowo1610 but it just doesnt fit risk of rain. every character has a purpose. almost all of the survivors are soldier types, and not just some one off. where does she fit in? nowhere imo. how did she get her weapons? clearly not millitary issued. theres no story behind her other than her wanting to fight "perfectly". no explination for her weapons' origins. attempting to give one of the characters personality somehow makes them even blander. this is risk of rain, not overwatch.
@@Nikowo1610to be fair, at least the duchess has some lore relevancy. we havent seen any high court stuff other than artificer, so its a plus I guess. I just wish the art style wasnt so bad.
@@trueblue4276"almost all of the survivors are soldier types" i mean yeah, but we also most definetly have had exceptions that are one-offs and i dont think thats a bad thing, for example we have had: Rex: plant Acrid: funii reptile (we have no idea what he is fr) Void Fiend: demon from hell Which are all great survivors. I do agree tho we need an explanation, we have one for each of the characters i talked about and we most definetly need one for technomancer.
This makes me have headache, I think my brain is trying to get out of my cranium so it can punch the guy who's responsible for these atrocious character design.
To me the only characters in this game that look like they'd be real characters are Rocketman, Field Doctor, and Tinkerer. Every other character feels so fake. I especially don't like how this game handled the High Court. I know their whole gimmick is that they want to find Heaven because they think it's a planet, but why do they all look angelic? The Artificer doesn't give off that vibe at all! They harness the elements with their tech, not blast their enemies with holy light! The only new High Court character that remotely fit's the Artificer's vibe is Vanguard (if they removed the halo from behind them, and gave them a more unique weapon than just a machine gun) I also don't like how this game is treating these as individual people. There are multiple Commandos, Huntresses, Mercenaries, etc. The only character that is the same in both games is Acrid. The new character's descriptions treat them like they are the only ones. (Like the Duchess or the Trapper) In RoR2 and RoR Returns we see two different Loaders, Returns hates his job, while 2's loves it. They are treated as different people, but they are both Loaders. Character's like Trapper are treated like they are unique, which characters in this series usually aren't. There are some exemptions to this in older games like Void Fiend, Acrid, and Captain, but Captain at least feels like he fits. Duchess doesn't.
Its even better - seems like they read only first half of her bio in RoR2, where the story is told from the perspective of thief Huntress kills at the end - and without reading to the end, they decided that the Huntress is said thief
Gotta love how mobile games always make trash random units, but the OG characters are some crazy rarity
Huntress is only a rare, and commando is a common
@@chronodisyea but theyre literally the base characters for the og game. artificer is the only(?) one i saw besides them and was legendary.
@@chronodislore accurate ror2 commando

Is it me or do half the characters here feel like they don't belong in risk of rain
aint art style a bitch
agree
They have a fan-made/modded feel to them. But even then some of the modded characters from ROR2 felt less out of place.
They DONT
From the style from the design they just dont fit in risk of rain just a random character even modded risk of rain characters manage to feel risk of rainy but this is just no
The vanguard is literally a warhammer space marine
Ah yes machine and turret truly fantastic
I saw turret and thought "really, Turret?"
I'm sure they'll become fan favorites
If you read the lore books for them their names are based off their unit name
@@jacobedsell8850ikr, the other games have actual names, like mult-t
@@Neo-yp4kswait what? There's risk of rain books?
how do ALL of them SUCK lmao, the fuck is the vanguard?? enforcer is RIGHT THERE
So I wasnt the only one who thought of enforcer upon seeing vanguard lol
Hopefully they don’t make the other known characters a dlc
Feels like they were 'inspired' by overwatch with these characters. Turret is literally bastion.
Nah they really put zero effort into these characters 💀
None of them really scream "risk of rain " in their design 🙁
PLEASE GOD MAY THESE WASTED SURVIVOR IDEAS BE WELL UTILIZED IN A HIGH QUALITY RISK OF RAIN 2 SURVIVOR MOD!

"technomancer" thats just ridiculous. I hope it isnt canon.
I feel like that is the one new character here that does look good

@@trueblue4276 yeah that is definitely true, but I still feel like it's not nearly as bad as something like the duchess

Rocketman, Machine and Turret? talk about charming names, no surprise they cancelled this.
As a famous man once said
*Ahem*
"YOU BURNT MY SHAKE"
man, this new character design sucks
I think it would look better with proportions closer to the second game.
ngl, most of these newer characters look really bad...
I'm sure some of these will make fine modded characters for 2 some day...
This makes me have headache, I think my brain is trying to get out of my cranium so it can punch the guy who's responsible for these atrocious character design.
gearbox................
still waiting for merc.
I think all of these designs bar the Field Doctor don't fit into risk of rain
I personally think rocketman looks OK too
@@thepizzaman6310yeah I like rocket man too

isn't huntress suspossed to be a bounty hunter that hunts criminals down, i feel like her lore entry was recycled from a bandit tyoe character
Its even better - seems like they read only first half of her bio in RoR2, where the story is told from the perspective of thief Huntress kills at the end - and without reading to the end, they decided that the Huntress is said thief
All these new designs suck.
Field doctor is the worst name for a character I have ever seen
They weren’t creative with names
I hope we get all these characters for ROR2 in the new DLC
i think it may be more likely we get them as Mods, as Someone has already modded the field doctor in
GOD NO PLEASE KEEP THEM OUT OF ROR2
@@randomcatdudethey might get added in a dlc, but hopefully after the ror1 characters are added
How to download it ?
Some of those are actually pretty good if you ask me
