  If you wanna access the DLC without beating the main game, you can toggle an option in the config menu of More Slugcats to enable all campaigns. Enjoy your Rain World!

  Rain World: Downpour, for me atleast, is the perfect DLC.

  It's got more replay value. It's got more characters. It's got local co-op. It's got new regions. It's got official mod support. It's got new lore. It's got everything you could want and more on-top. If you were originally a fan of Rain World, you will most certainly LOVE the content involved in Downpour. It takes the original games sundae and adds the cream, custard, cherry and sprinkles ontop. Not only this, but along with this DLC was a free update called Rain World Remix, which has added vast amounts of accessibility options along with non-intrusive tutorialisation and hints. I've obviously got some bias here as Rain World is more or less, my favourite game of all time. Though putting that aside it barely has any faults (apart from erasing my save data and no co-op for new scugbats).

  Ranty stuff below

  A few of the negative reviews are complaining about no online co-op, but it has literally been advertised as local here, on the store page, aswell as in the trailers, the discord, and when asked SPECIFICALLY about co-op, it has been said to be local only. I hate saying to stop whining about lack of online, but you clearly missed the memo with the amount of heads-up. And disregarding that fact, it is absolutely CRIMINAL to consider this DLC 'bad' just because its multiplayer is local only. Stop disregarding the rest of the content and gaslighting yourself, you really think you paid roughly 15 dollars for only co-op?

  Ranty stuff over

  Rant aside, I am absolutely thrilled and pleased with this expansion. It has been the thing I've been dreaming of for Rain World for years. The fruits of this endeavour were bountiful, and I hope everyone else enjoys Downpour as much as I have.

  You need to complete the game first to get access to the new slugcats.

  I have never completed the base game, and I have what is called a "skill issue," but I can now play as the fat boy. I am happy. Edit: I realize now that I have to finish the base game to play as the fat boy. Guess I gotta get good.

  If there's one thing you should take away from this review is to go buy and play Rain World. It's one of my favorite games of all time and honestly believe it's one of the greatest games ever made. Ok, now I will rant about Downpour, spoilers included. If for you Rain World was just another platformer that you enjoyed, then you should play Downpour. It plays similarly, has a great soundtrack, awesome pixel art and will make you very scared, angry and then disappointed with yourself for not seeing the pole plant every now and then. You will probably have fun, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't. But if you played Rain World and thought it was just so much better than every other sidescroller you ever played - or you are planning to play the game for the first time - then maybe you should sit out on playing Downpour. Where Rain World thrived from subtle design, involving atmosphere and a gameplay experience carefully polished to make the player entirely feel like a small creature near the bottom of the foodchain - stumbling into something unknown and greater than itself, Downpour basically keeps the same "background" and does the opposite in every single way. Slugcats are now highly adapted, artificially modified and suffer heavily from "becoming the game's protagonist", while your journey is a lot more linearly restricted and the lore is constantly thrown at your face. Every single slugcat has a score at the end of their story, even though that score means nothing to any of them except the original Hunter campaign. All slugcats now have the unlocks listed for them constantly, even though they have no mechanical impact. All the hidden story that you had to discover by stumbling upon it is now stapled into its own menu. Achievements used to be directly linked to your progress in the world exploration, but now you need to complete the 70 challenges in the challenge menu to get them all. Rain World simply doesn't feel like Rain World anymore, it feels like Rain World: THE GAME. And as I said, that can be fun sometimes, but it gets tiring very fast. After playing a few of the new campaigns, it just starts feeling too much like fanservice. Take Saint's campaign, for example. It's actually pretty interesting to see how the world has changed in the cold and having to adapt your gameplay to this new mechanic, trying to meet the Echoes as a main objective instead of an optional one. Except your grapple ability is easily one of the best movement options in the game by just mashing jump and when you meet the Echoes you then become a super-powered god-like creature that can fly and kill everything with its mind - only to venture into a boss-rush-arena like region which is just every single creature in the game shoved together in a room while you sit and wait for your god powers to recharge and pop each one of them with your will. Or let's say Rivulet, in which the world is even more dark and flooded, so you need to constantly move fast to survive, creating a new dynamic in how you plan each of your cycles to be able to make it to the next one. Except you don't just move faster, your jumps are incredibly high, you run and swim around at nearly triple the speed of any other slugcat and within the first hours of gameplay you find a high-tech orb which powers up all your abilities and removes the short cycle timer limit. It feels like very questionable game design, with even more questionable aesthetic reasons behind it. And I want to make it very clear: I don't think fanservice is inherently bad. I don't think over-the-top, exagerated design is bad. I simply went into Downpour blind and expecting the experience I had with Rain World, but the dissonance striked me in such a way that made me feel apatethic and tired about a game I had previously played for hundreds and hundreds of hours. It might be selfish to say that that's just not what I wanted from Rain World, but then again, I only wanted what Rain World had already proved it could be. It's very reasonable to say my expectations are unfair, because I'll never be surprised and bewildered by playing Rain World for the first time again - and that's basically what I wanted from Downpour. So while it did make me happy that I was playing new, different things when I started the DLC, it honestly failed to live up to the original game in a progressively bizarre manner that made it hard to keep enjoying it. So finally, is Downpour a bad game, a bad DLC? I really don't think so. It was made by an awesome team, has a lot of cool features and the community is overall loving it. But given how much I loved Rain World and how much Downpour felt just like "a platformer in a Rain World shell", I just wouldn't be true to myself if I said I recommended it. And well, this is just my opinion after all, so if you played and enjoyed the DLC, please feel free to ignore everything you just read and keep playing :)

  You know how when you beat sans in Undertale, and you only really have a moment to celebrate before the game hits you in the gut with the sadness of the situation? It's not an overly emotional type of sadness, just the dry, empty kind of sadness. Like you know that everything is past the point of return and what's next is so dismal you can't put it into words. I think this is the only other game that's made me feel that way. Nothing here. Nothing left.

  Great addition to the base game. Ignore all of the reviews saying you need to beat the base game. If you select the remix option on the main menu, then press the configure button on the more slugcats mod, and then go to cheats, you can unlock everything. "Everything" being campaigns, arenas, sandbox items, safari collectibles, etc...
