* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The game has a large amount of content that was scrapped, but remnants of it can still be found in the game's code. A lot of that content was restored by the Starstorm mod:
** Survivors:
*** The Heavy, an early version of the Enforcer. He resembled the Commando, but was a bit bulkier and wielded a shotgun.
*** The Pyro, who wielded a flamethrower. Three of their skills survived into the final release. Their third skill turns their flames green and gives them a LifeDrain effect. They still exist in the game, in the form of the Bloated Survivor.
*** The Cyborg, who is believed to be an early incarnation of the Mercenary. He moved by floating above the floor, was able to teleport and fired electric blasts from his hands.
*** Both the Pyro and the Cyborg were revived by the Starstorm mod as completed survivors, and will eventually return in the sequel mod for ''VideoGame/RiskOfRain2'', Starstorm 2.
*** The first incarnation of the Chef was a humanoid who wielded a cleaver like a sword and could unleash a glowing MegatonPunch.
*** The Huntress was going to have the ability to switch to a "Dark Mode" that would give her another set of abilities. It also changed her color scheme to gray and yellow.
** Items:
*** A whole set of items was removed. The Hero's set was a ShoutOut to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'', resembling Link's hat, garb and boots, respectively. They would empower their wearer when they had low health. They were presumably removed to avoid problems with ''Creator/{{Nintendo}}''. They were going to have a purple rarity, like the White Undershirt (M). A fourth item, the Hero's Scarf, remained in the game, but was instead renamed as the "Hermit's Scarf".
** Enemies:
*** The Suicider (AKA Exploder in SS) is a tiny ActionBomb that was supposed to pursue the player and detonate near them.
*** The Mimic (AKA Security Chest in SS) disguised as chests and attacked when you got too close to it. It would also drop an item when killed.
*** There are DegradedBoss versions of the Imp Overlord and the Magma Worm that have half the health of their boss counterparts.
*** There was a small gelatinous cube that would spawn instead of Lemurians in the Hive Cluster. It was probably replaced by the [[AsteroidsMonster Gup]].
*** The Bots were humanoid robots the size of a normal Lemurian. They resembled the Temple Guards, so they would've probably spawned in the Temple of the Elders.
*** The Eye (AKA Overseer in SS) resembled the Imp Overlord, but its body was rounder and completely white. It was also able to fly.
*** The Snow Golems would've been able to fire energy blasts from their eyes. The sequel revisited that concept, giving the Stone Golems a ranged attack.
*** Archer Bugs were at one point supposed to emerge from their hives, which would fire them like a gun.
** Bosses:
*** The Post (AKA Wayfarer in SS) resembled the Clay Men, but was much bigger and had a lamp for a head instead of the Men's urns. It was apparently an early version of the Ancient Wisp.
*** The Pale One was a pale quadruped that could teleport and deploy organic bear traps. It was also an {{Expy}} of Iosa from ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'', sharing her skin color and back spikes.
*** The Abscinder was a Magma Worm-sized caterpillar that would separate its segments into more Abscinders, like the [[VideoGame/{{Terraria}} Eater of Worlds]].
*** The Scaleless Wyvern was a massive winged beast that resembled a cross between an Evolved Lemurian and a Spitter. It flew around the player and fired a green beam from its mouth.
*** The Totem (AKA Mechanical Totem in SS) was a metal obelisk with four faces, each of them unleashing a different attack.
*** There were plans to add a GiantEnemyCrab as a boss. Only its sprites were added and all but one of them were removed in a patch. The boss was revived in Starstorm as the Sand Crab King. The concept was also revived in Risk of Rain 2's first DLC, ''Survivors of the Void'', in the form of the hyperlethal Void Devastator.
*** Providence's boss fight was reworked from scratch. Originally, he was much bigger and stayed static throughout his fight, firing projectiles at the player. According to WordOfGod, it was reworked as it wasn't very fun to fight, comparing the fight to "smacking a board". He was also vastly different from his final version, resembling a black-skinned and slender Parent that floated above the floor and wore clothing. The only things shared between both incarnations of Providence was the halo in his head and the black skin. A remnant of the old Providence can be seen in the Temple of Elders, as the percentage-based Shrines of Blood bear his original version's visage.
