What players say

Players compare XO-Planets to Risk of Rain and praise its variety in characters and loot, but the community widely agrees development stalled and the game was abandoned in early access. Newcomers report frustration from the lack of a tutorial and unclear mechanics, and long-time players say updates stopped years ago.
