Our experts have spent time searching for great games similar to Risk of Rain and have found the following:

Risk of Rain is a running, jumping and fighting game where you defeat hordes of monsters and the difficulty steadily increases the longer you survive as you try to scavenge the parts to make a way back home. When you die, you start over but do keep some of your items and upgrades, allowing you to progress slightly further each time. This try-til-you-die-then-try-again loop, paired with hundreds of weapons, upgrades and a host of different character classes, leads to the necessity for ambitious experimentation and expert strategies.

Unfortunately, Risk of Rain is not available on Android or iOS. However, we recommend the following games that offer a similar experience or theme:
