Simulacrum is an endless, wave-based arena mode that can be played in both single or multiplayer. Taking place in a Void simulation, there is only one outcome: your simulated demise. A few details on the mode:

  • The Void has recreated some of the iconic locations from Risk of Rain 2 to assess the threat of these dangerous places – the simulation is familiar yet somehow… different.
  • Test your survival skills against waves of enemies that get progressively stronger. Every fifth wave spawns a challenging Boss. Some waves also have random mutators applied – maybe a random artifact is activated for one round.
  • After each wave a Void Potential is created for every player, allowing you to select between 3 items giving you a great deal of control over your power within the Simulacrum.
  • You'll need to stay inside a designated safe zone or you will take damage from the outside environment. This safe zone will move after each Boss battle, giving you a quick opportunity to find items and interactables scattered across the stage. As long as one member of your party is alive at the end of a wave, all other players will revive to face the next wave.
  • Item Crates and other interactables spawn on the stage as normal – but venturing outside of the safe zone to reach these can be a great risk. After every boss wave the safe zone moves to a new area, giving you a brief opportunity to open more crates and increase your power.
