* AllYourPowersCombined: Fitting its subtitle, the Scavenger uses a missile attack reminiscent of the Engineer's Thermal Harpoons or the Disposable Missile Launcher, and a line attack similar to the Commando's Full Metal Jacket ability. It also has a couple of its own unique attacks, of course. In addition, it seems to be using or wearing the items you can find.

* BoomHeadshot: The bandit's ''Lights Out'' ability, which, when successfully used, can be activated repeatedly.

* EliteMook: Enemies can spawn with various modifiers as difficulty increases, such as flame trails or the ability to teleport. All of these modifiers include increased health and armour.

* {{Golem}}: Rock Golems appear as enemies. They are highly resilient to damage and their smash attack can be deadly to low leveled players, however they are restricted by low mobility which makes them easy to avoid or out maneuver using hit and run tactics. The Stone Guardian/Colossus boss is a massive version of this enemy.

* HitAndRunTactics: Acrid's designed around this, since he deals lots of damage over time but can't kill much quickly. Miner approaches it from the opposite direction, with strong abilities that all provide great mobility but long cooldowns and a pathetic main attack.

* IncendiaryExponent: The Magma Worm boss, naturally. Also, as the difficulty rises flaming versions of normal enemies will sometimes spawn, and leave behind trails of fire. After finding the ''Gasoline'' item, any enemies killed by the Survivor will create a pool of fire. Finally, a rare drop from the Magma Worm itself also causes the player to move and attack faster after killing an enemy, and leave trails of fire behind them.
* KingMook: Many of the bosses, though not all.

* SoundtrackDissonance: The theme for the final level set on [[spoiler:the UES Contact Light]], [[http://chrischristodoulou.bandcamp.com/track/coalescence Coalescence]]. Fairly calm and peaceful... [[spoiler:whilst the ship itself will be swarming with hundreds of foes. A bloody fight ensues as the Survivor must make their way to the Bridge.]]

Risk of Rain is a SciFi Action {{Roguelike}} for PC which has been released on Steam on November 8th, 2013.

The game plays as a 2D platformer in which you play as one of ten different character classes, each with varying strengths and weaknesses. You must defeat enemies to level up and gain gold, whilst the difficulty steadily increases as time goes on. The main goal of the game is to find the teleporter and use it to summon the level's boss; after slaying the boss (and an accompanying horde of enemies) you may advance to the next level.

* TooDumbToLive: The item logs suggest that some of the items you're using were meant to be shipped to some very dumb people.

* AttackDrone: The player can use gold to repair robot drones that will fly around the player and shoot any enemy in range. After taking enough damage they will breakdown and have to be repaired, which costs more money each time.
* BoomHeadshot: The bandit's Lights Out, which, when successfully used, can be activated repeatedly.
* BossSubtitles

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Obviously. [[spoiler:The monster logs suggest that the planet's inhabitants are actually very peaceful and live in more or less harmony. But for some reason, everything instantly becomes murderously enraged upon seeing the survivor...]]

They are highly resilient to damage and their smash attack can be deadly to low leveled players, however they are restricted by low mobility which makes them easy to avoid or out maneuver using hit and run tactics. The Stone Guardian boss is a massive version of this enemy.

* HerdHittingAttack: Almost every character has at least one attack that can affect many enemies, though not all of them recharge enough that you can whittle groups down using just it.

* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: It has three difficulty levels above "Impossible" (itself above "Insane"), titled "I SEE YOU", "I'M COMING FOR YOU" and "HAHAHAHA". The actual campaign difficulty levels themselves are "Drizzle", "Rainstorm" and "Monsoon".
* IncendiaryExponent: The Magma Worm boss, naturally. Also, as the difficulty rises flaming versions of normal enemies will sometimes spawn, and leave behind trails of fire. The player can get in on this too with the gas can upgrade.

* ShortRangeShotgun: The Enforcer's main weapon is a shotgun and has a rather short range, though it his all enemies within that range.

* AdultFear: Those small little multi-colored spirits? They're children. The giants trying to kill you? Their parents driven made with rage and grief.

* [[spoiler: YouMonster: Invoked by the final boss once you kill him. Why? [[WildMassGuessing Who knows.]]]]

* MightyGlacier: The Enforcer, who moves slowly but can take cover with his shield to deal area damage while partially invinvible, and HAN-D, who is even slower and has slow but powerful melee attacks and the ability to heal on command (along with extra health).

* HitAndRunTactics: Acrid's designed around this.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: It has three difficulty levels above "Impossible" (itself above "Insane"), titled "I SEE YOU", "I'M COMING FOR YOU" and "HAHAHAHA".

* SpeedRun: Actively encouraged in the early levels, because the difficulty rises dramatically over time.

* IncendiaryExponent: The Magma Worm boss, naturally. Also, as the difficulty rises flaming versions of normal enemies will sometimes spawn, and leave behind trails of fire.

* MookMaker: The Stone Guardian and Toxic Beast summon enemies as their main attack; the former summons rock golems right where he's standing and can also punish you in melee, but the latter summons them right next to you anywhere on the level (but has no other attack).

* DoubleUnlock: Of the "You have to unlock it and then it has to randomly generate within the game" type, though at least some of the time you can see what items are before buying them.
* ElectricJellyfish: The flying jellyfish enemy as well as it's huge boss cousin the "Wandering Vagrant" will shock you if you touch them, it deals little damage by itself but can be hazardous due to their tendency to attack in swarms.

* SpeedRun: Actively encouraged, because the difficulty rises dramatically over time.
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: The Commando's specialty. Makes him completely invincible and is good for getting to the other side of a group of enemies.

* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: It has three difficulty levels above "Impossible" (itself above "Insane"), titled "I SEE YOU", "I'M COMING FOR YOU" and "HAHAHAHA". Note that due to the way the game works, you will see all of those level names in order.
