That new enemy you’ve never seen before? Turns out it can kill you in one hit, and you learn that by watching it happen.
A single small mistake or miscalculation can result in your character instantly dying, leaving you to ruminate on your failures while you watch 30 minutes of effort instantly go up in smoke. Even compared to its predecessor, which was famed for its punishing difficulty, this is a mean game to contend with. Is it worth it to spend your money in the shop now, or wait till the next one and hope the items are better? Do you try to snatch that idol off an obvious trap, or do you pass on it?Īll these decisions are relatively small in the grander picture, but such decisions are each made that much more important by the sheer stakes at hand. Thus, there’s a kind of anxious thrill that permeates any given run of Spelunky 2, as you’re constantly in that precarious position of weighing risks against the benefits. Take too long exploring, and you’ll be hounded by a near-inescapable ghost who will end your run instantly if it catches you.
Don’t explore enough, and you’ll be at a disadvantage when facing the much rougher challenges later levels throw at you. Your goal is simply to make it through a little over a dozen levels (at least at first.), ideally collecting as much loot as you possibly can along the way. Similarly, Spelunky 2 follows almost exactly the same gameplay structure as its predecessor.
