The thing that fascinated me about Rain World, a game by Swedish developer Joar Jakobsson, wasn’t the unique 16-bit style that is infused with a gentle color palette or the awesome Chiptune audio skills of Joar’s partner James Primate, but instead it was the protagonist of the game itself. The slugcat!
Rain World will give you the opportunity to experience a world of wonder, danger, and slugcats.
Today marks the release of the frantic survival platformer, as Rain World on Xbox launches, alongside the Downpour expansion on all formats
"Rain World is a challenging Metroidvania-style platformer from Videocult and Akupara Games. In Rain World, players contr ol a vulnerable but nimble "slugcat" as it struggles to survive in a strange and dangerous world. Until now, the only way to brave the game's rain-soaked world was solo, but the Rain World: Downpour DLC, which has just come to consoles following the PC release, changes all that. The 'Downpour' DLC adds 4-player local co-op support, five new playable characters, and more," says Co-Optimus.
