The player is the lone survivor of a space train that got shot out of orbit and crash landed on a mysterious planet.

Each stage starts with the player spawning in a random spot.
The first aim is to find a teleporter, also randomly spawned somewhere in that stage.
When the teleporter is found and activated, it will take 90 seconds to be fully active.
During this time, several enemies will spawn, including a boss.
After the teleporter loading time is complete, the player must then kill all enemies that are left in order to be teleported to the next stage.
One distinctive feature of the game is that difficulty increases over time: a difficulty bar is shown in the top right corner of the screen.
Every five minutes the difficulty increases one level, so the quicker the player finds his way out of stages, the easier the later stages are.
In order to keep up with the challenge, the players must equip their characters with items that were being carried by the space train.
There are more than 100 different items (most of which must be unlocked), each with a different effect, such as inflicting damage to enemies as they approach the player, increasing healing rate, slowing down hit enemies, double jump, etc.
The effects are stackable, so if two or more items of the same kind are collected a multiplier will be added to it.
Items are dropped by boss enemies, but are more commonly found in locked chests.
To unlock chests, players must collect money dropped by enemies when killed.
Money is also used to activate drones that will help the player.
Players can choose different characters, each one with different skills.
Every character has 4 different actions, like different weapons or defensive maneuvers, plus one usable item slot.
There are 12 different characters available, but they must be unlocked by finding items or performing some achievements.
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Risk of Rain 2 for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Risk of Rain 2 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2020.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Risk of Rain 2, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Switch titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
