Downpour is a marvellous expansion on the original Rain World. Some have found disappointing its change from vanilla RW's subtle, hidden plot and survivor's simplicity by turning into more of a proper game, so to speak. Rain World is a world of its own, unconcerned about your presence both in its location and design, full of ambiguity; Downpour starts with the same mystery, but both previous knowledge and the game itself will give you a goal while appealing to more traditional fun, but carefully maintaining and expanding the ecosystems you already know and love, its biggest appeal. Instead of throwing you into the world of new or surrounding iterators, you venture through revisions of the same territory with new species of slugcats, each with signature abilities and flaws, and environments unique to their stories. Don't be fooled though, as predators and the changing environments will continue to be greatly lethal if you don't adapt and evolve your own abilities.

Even outside of these extra slugcats, you'll find lots of new content to play with thanks to Remix, all of the which you can tackle with friends at your place, or through Steam's play-together. You can re-explore survivor using mods from the workshop to tweak your experience, or enter new regions and rooms altogether, alongside new vegetation and creatures, more lore to uncover, and even once you've given closure to these cycles of life and death, you can lengthen your suffering in Expeditions and the new challenges and arena items. Expeditions are a roguelike mode in the which you'll gain perks with every success, and then go back to square one once you've been bested. Arena challenges throw you into different hardships, in the which you must succeed to kill or feed before the rain takes you, or until this life is given an end.
