What kind of game is Rain World? The game is a platformer with survival elements. The gameplay of Rain World is rather challenging.
You play as a cat-snail: a small, white creature with 4 legs and a snail tail, which can move around agilely.
You live in a merciless world. Danger lurks everywhere and you are all alone, because: A massive flood has separated you from your family and now you embark on a dangerous journey to find them again.
Along the way, you explore different ecosystems, where creatures exist that want to eat you.
In January 2023, there will be a multiplayer expansion for the game. Here is the co-op reveal trailer for Rain World: Downpour:
Surviving in a Merciless World
What does gameplay in Rain World look like? The game design is rather dark in style and simplicity, reminiscent of 16-bit games from the 90s.
You navigate through landscapes filled with industrial waste and must take care of food and a safe shelter for your cat-snail.
You will go hunting yourself but should also be wary of other hunters for whom you are the prey. Traps in the environment also make your life difficult.
The game’s AI ensures that opponents never stop hunting your cat-snail. As a weapon, you carry a spear that you can use to defend yourself against enemies.
Another significant aspect of the game is the ever-present danger of rain, which can drown the cat-snail.
Is there a multiplayer mode? In Rain World, you can play PvP in split-screen mode. On January 19, 2023, the Rain World: Downpour expansion will be released on Steam, where you will not only get new content, but also a co-op mode to survive with 4 other players as cat-snails.
How is Rain World rated by players? The game is very positively rated on Steam. Out of a total of 6,570 reviews, 92% are good (as of November 23, 2022, via Steam).
Players praise the game as a fantastic indie title – for some, it is even their favorite game. They appreciate the unique atmosphere and the gameplay, which is said to be very challenging. They also note in reviews that the game is not for everyone and can be quite emotional.
