Starstorm2

Starstorm 2 is a work-in-progress adaptation of the Risk of Rain 1 mod "Starstorm". It currently features three new survivors, three new monsters, over 20 new items and equipment, and numerous new challenges to shake up your runs.

• Executioner - An aggressive, versatile survivor with an arsenal made for picking off targets and chaining kills. His powerful Ion Manipulators gain charges with every kill.

• ??? - Survivors of unknown origin, familiar yet unfamiliar. Under the right conditions, you may meet them on the Planet, but they certainly won't be on your side.

• New Items & Equipment - A plethora of new items and equipment to support new and existing playstyles. Watch your six with an Armed Backpack, rush through teleporter events with a Field Accelerator, all while keeping on the move with a Swift Skateboard - and more!

• New Interactables - New drones, paired with the Refabricator, come in handy to assist you while you fight for survival.

• Events - Between severe weather, magical buildups, and mysterious invaders, learn to expect the unexpected as forces both natural and supernatural interfere with your runs.

• New Monsters - New species of the Planet have come out to put a stop to your invasion of their home.

• Typhoon - The Planet grows restless, with fearsome events and monsters coming in greater numbers than ever before. Unlock new skins for survivors* by proving yourself in this new challenge exceeding even Monsoon! *currently includes Commando, Huntress, MUL-T, Acrid, Captain, Executioner, and Commando's Vestige.

• Artifact of Cognation - A new, unlockable artifact to shape up your runs.
