The Artificer is more action packed as they can blow stuff up. The Gourmand is a bit on the slow side, but can craft things to his advantages. In the first game, we just had the one character, but this time around there are five and each one has their own special abilities to make them unique and make getting through this horrible wet world more fun. The big draw of Rain World: Downpour is that we now have five Slugcats that we can play as. However, the developers clearly listened to the “criticisms” that people had over the first game as there are some more user friendly aspects to the game such as a better map, a hint system, and more ways to go about things to name just a few. Once you get used to the way the game plays it is quite a thrilling experience. One of the reasons that I struggled to get into the original game was because the whole look of the game makes you feel like it is an Ori style of game and while it does have some Metroidvania style elements to it, Rain World: Downpour is more of a survival game where surviving each area and making it to the next one is what you are really doing. This game is not a huge story driven experience, but the basics are that once again Slugcats need to do what they can to survive, but this time they are better equipped to do so.

What we have here in terms of story in Rain World: Downpour is basically a continuation of the horrible and dangerous, not to mention a very wet world where we have a species called Slugcats just trying to get by. I was very excited when I heard that this DLC was a thing, but I will warn you, you do need the base game to play this so keep that in mind. I remember checking that game out when it came out and at first, I did not like it! It was a game that took a while to grow on me, but it was all on me! I was playing the game wrong and it has a look and style that makes you think it should be something, but it is actually far more of a unique experience. Today we are checking out Rain World: Downpour which is the expansion for the original game.
