Spelunky Reviews

Never thought a game could almost be as tilting as 'League of Legends' but here we are.

spelunky spelunky spelunky, get funky funky funky :burgzone: :snake:

1. the game crashed before I could even get to the tutorial 2. exiting the game causes my monitor to get an Out Of Range error which is an absolute first in all my years of playing games. it makes my monitor unusable until restarting my PC. conclusion: a game this simple shouldn't even be [i] capable [/i] of being this utterly broken. if you're a roguelike-liker and don't happen to have any technical issues, it might be a fun game, so make sure you test the game within that 2 week refund period just in case.

Cute and Hardcore these games are glorious Lots of equipment, bosses and secrets to find... if you make it that far Some runs boil down to luck Co-op throw ya mate onto some spikes

Bery fun game. You can easily play it over and over again. Able to play with up to 3 friends which is amazing. Both adventure and PvP and PvE so more pluses.

Keep wanting to like this game but it makes me do the tutorial every time I play it and I'm honestly just done doing that. No more playing this game.

Always be ready to clip a screen recording for the inevitable ridiculous funny death

A wonderful marriage of smooth-as-butter 2D action platforming and randomly generated levels. Interactive possibilities aplenty. A myriad of dynamic micro-situations to test your reflexes and game knowledge. An equal plurality of unique and hilarious ways to die; even the game's fail states are fun. With almost every death you'll learn something useful for your next run--death is progress, as it is with so many other great games of the tough-but-fair persuasion. The presentation is nice, too. The aesthetic is a quirky mish-mash of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror tropes, with some pop-culture references to stuff like Indiana Jones and Evil Dead thrown in, all presented in a cutesy indie art style. It works well. I love all the playable characters too, they're so cute and have a lot of personality, making it all the more fun to unlock them as you progress. But the music may be the real star of the show here. Each track complements its' respective biome (cave, jungle, ice cave, temple) really well. I especially like all of the odd-time bangers which have some rather tasty percussion. This is an essential pick for any enjoyer of 2D platforming and a "prepare to die edition" level of difficulty. Though tough, it's never very frustrating, so long as you respect what the game is trying to do. And if you respect Spelunky, it will respect you back.

Great game, just keep in mind it doesn't have Steam cloud.

Spelunky is an absolute gem of a roguelike, combining tight platforming, brutal difficulty, and endless replayability into an experience that never gets old. The randomly generated levels ensure that no two runs are ever the same, keeping each playthrough fresh and unpredictable. The variety of tile sets adds a sense of adventure, making every descent into the caves, jungles, and temples feel like an entirely new challenge. The difficulty is steep, but that’s part of what makes Spelunky so rewarding. Every mistake is a learning experience, and every victory feels well-earned. The game demands precision, patience, and strategic thinking, turning even the smallest progress into a thrill. The music and sound design perfectly complement the gameplay, with catchy tunes that shift dynamically between calm exploration and high-stakes escape sequences. And when it comes to replayability, Spelunky is nearly unmatched—there’s always a new way to approach the caves, a new secret to uncover, or another challenge to conquer. Gameplay: 9.5/10 – Tight controls, deep mechanics, and rewarding difficulty. Graphics: 7.5/10 – Simple but charming visuals that prioritize clarity and function. Sound/Music: 8.5/10 – Atmospheric and fitting, enhancing the tension and adventure. Replayability: 10/10 – Infinite variety with randomized levels and tons of secrets. Overall: 9/10 – A near-perfect roguelike experience that rewards skill, patience, and perseverance.
