When I asked about Rain World's structure, the two-person development team e-mailed me to explain that it's "Metroidvania but. It all sounds a bit Tokyo Jungle with fewer sweater-sporting corgis. "The gameplay consists of platforming and fast paced sneaking," Team Rain World explained on the Kickstarter page. Given the harsh climate, most living creatures tend to take shelter from the nefarious percipitation and gales, but predators and prey alike have got to come out some time.

Release is expected for Switch, PS4, and Xbox as well, implied to happen in June.Like Hyper Light Drifter before it, Rain World emerged on Kickstarter out of nowhere and boy does it look good! Its mood may be meloncholy, but Rain World's colour palette is refreshingly robust, making it one of the prettier post apocalypses in recent memory.

Rain World received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its art design and fluid animations, but criticized its brutal difficulty, inconsistent save points, and imprecise controls. The player is given little explicit guidance on how to survive, which was the intention of the developers, who wanted players to feel like a rat living on subway tracks, in which they learn to survive in an environment without grasping its higher-level function. The slugcat uses debris as weapons to escape enemies, scavenge for food, and reach safe hibernation rooms before a deadly torrential rain arrives.
