"In SPELUNKER WORLD, players take the role of a Spelunker, following in the footsteps of his father who disappeared 10 years ago. Players can venture into caverns solo or together with up to six players online in search of legendary treasures while avoiding dangerous pitfalls, boulders and wicked creatures. Hidden within every nook and cranny are various power ups and unlocks to customize characters’ skills and appearances. The title offers an array of adorable pets that aid players as they uncover deeper and dangerous caves."
Reception
Spelunker World relies a lot on gaming nostalgia to pull it through, while trying to mask the world of microtransactions. It works to an extent, but not completely. There is still too much simple, not enough modern and far too much room for frustration from failure. It's not a horrible game by any means, but it is limited in its capacity for fun in...
Spelunker World has a few free-to-play irritations, stiff controls and iffy multiplayer, but a certain audience will find its old-school charm and addictive gear system enough reason to revisit the 22-year-old franchise.
Spelunker World is an awful game. The controls are unresponsive, the graphics are terrible and the dungeons are horribly designed. It's a charming game but it's not recommended to anyone.
