Plan your next FoE Remains session
Our independent guide breaks Remains into its main pillars—platforming, combat depth, roguelike systems, community mods, and platform features—so you can observe how each part works together without relying on undocumented shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Platforming vs. Combat
Play a level that emphasizes jumping and stair climbing, then a level focused on enemy encounters. Note how movement mechanics affect your ability to aim and fire, revealing the balance between platforming and shooting.
- Notice how stair placement can change enemy encounter timing.
- Practice jump timing in early rooms to reduce accidental damage.
02 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Diversity Test
Choose two weapons from different categories (e.g., melee and explosive). Run a short segment and record damage, ammo use, and enemy reaction. This highlights each weapon’s role within the 2D‑shooter feel.
- Try several weapon categories to see which match your play style.
- Balance explosive use with the amount of ammunition you carry.
03 / THE GUIDE
Procedural Layout Observation
Complete two consecutive runs and sketch the room layouts you encounter. Identify any recurring patterns in procedural generation and how lock‑picking spots shift between runs.
- Mark lock‑picking opportunities for future runs.
- Prioritize perks that complement the weapons you favor.
04 / THE GUIDE
Mod Impact Review
Install the Extra bunker Rooms mod and compare a military base area before and after. Document new room designs and any tactical changes they introduce.
- Compare original rooms with those added by Extra bunker Rooms for new tactical options.
- Review Reforged’s changes to see if they affect your preferred play style.
05 / THE GUIDE
Steam Feature Utilization
Enable Family Sharing and play Remains on a secondary account. Observe whether progress syncs via Steam Cloud and whether shared settings affect gameplay.
- Steam Cloud is listed among the game's features, so you can check its settings in Steam.
- Use Family Sharing if you want another account to play without buying a separate copy.
