I am once again pumped for Rain World: Downpour. Brendan had a more favourable though complicated reaction in his Rain World review, finding much to love under its prickly surface. At that point, I realised its difficulty and its obfuscation meant that it would never be for me. I was pumped for Rain World all the way up to the moment when I played it.

Finally, Downpour brings Steam Workshop support and a built-in content manager 'to fully allow players to control how they truly want to explore Rain World.' There are also two new modes: Challenge mode, featuring handmade arenas of escalating difficulty and Safari mode, through which you can revisit past areas as an observer or as other, non-slugcat creatures.ĭownpour also adds co-op for the first time, in which up to four players can play locally and explore 'all base-game campaigns' together. Each of Downpour's five new playable slugcats will have their own abilities and storyline, and there are ten new regions to explore which each have their own new enemies, traps and weather to deal with.
