    Spelunker World feels like one of those notoriously bad NES titles that people will always warn you to stay away from. The gameplay is practically broken because of how restrictive it is to the player. You have to play the way Square Enix wants you to play or else you will die at nearly every corner of a jump, drop or obstacle.

You have to play the way Square Enix wants you to play or else you will die at nearly every corner of a jump, drop or obstacle. It does partly redeem itself for giving plenty (and I mean dozens) of lives before the paywall for more lives comes up. The micro transactions aren't anywhere near as severe as Frozen Free Fall. There are some acceptable customization features in the midst of the repetition, but there are still far better games out there that you can invest your time in for free.… Expand

    Have you ever visual seen a turd wrapped up inside another turd? Well, if you have played this game, now you have. I have seen better things floating in my toilet than this game. I would recommend this game to no one, and I mean no one! I feel ashamed that this is a video game. I get nightmares every time I even look at the title of the game!

    Worst Japanese game all time. I'm sorry that I couldn't give it a literal negative review. I am emotionally distressed after just opening and seeing the home screen. -10/0= Does Not Exist

    This is the lowest rating I've ever given a game on here. Now I'm a huge spelunky fan so when I saw this game, I was very excited. Needless to say I was horribly disappointed. I don't even know where to be begin; This game is flawed in every way possible. A pathetic undertaking that Square Enix should be ashamed to have taken a part in.

    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 long stints.

    This brutally honest tribute to the 1983 classic will find it's way into peoples hearts through the control scheme, which won't be appreciated by people who never touched a NES or any other classic console. It is visually charming and it offers a deep customisation system, but it is better to treat it carefully and just visit in short game sessions.

    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.
