    Spelunky is a tough as nails, unforgiving and full of discovery, an unrivaled roguelike platformer that defined its sub-genre. Controls smoothly, looks pretty, wacky sense of humor just like a silly homage to Indiana Jones. It's definitely not one of those games you keep playing for hours on end but it's certainly a one that makes you come back.

    Spelunky is the most brutal a game can be on a player. It is incredible how such a cute looking game can be the most difficult game on the PSN Store. If you want a hell of a Platformer challenge then pick up Spelunky, maybe when it's on sale.

    Super entertaining game of platforms and stages in 2D whose main genre is the action and adventure.

    It is not the typical game in which you can pass the stage quickly and without worrying about lives, no, in this game you have to keep in mind that the lives you have from the beginning are the ones you will have throughout the game, so that it is advisable to go with caution, without haste and trying to make the enemies do as little damage as possible, because otherwise you will have to start the game again from the beginning. Spelunky has different modes of play that are playing adventure, daily challenge and mortal combat.

    The game, mainly consists of controlling a speleologist who has to go exploring caverns, collecting treasures, saving damsels in distress and avoid enemies and traps to be able to leave the cave where it is.

    As a personal opinion, the game is very entertaining and viciate a lot, especially when in the first and second scenario you die and you want self-overcoming or reach more difficult stage.    … Expand

    Un juego divertido, música excelente, niveles que siempre son diferentes y una dificultad apropiada que no trata a los jugadores como si tuvieran parálisis cerebral

    Spelunky is a brilliant combination of tough platforming and roguelike elements. With randomly generated levels, loads of obstacles, enemies, and loot, which would provide near infinite replay value. Along with friends, it's damn enjoyable.

    Spelunky is a good game but sometimes a bit too hard, but that is funny. I never saw any bugs yet. It isn´t a game to play hour for hour anyway you can play long. The biggest problem is that its too expensive.

    You have to go into this one knowing that the game is INCREDIBLY HARD and may very well take literal years to master. However, once you do, it's one of the most incredibly satisfying games ever made, and in many ways, an apt metaphor for life.

    If you're not used to the genre then Spelunky will probably take some getting used to like it did for me but if you give it a little time it truly grows on you. The game is pretty challenging alone or with friends and the idea is repetitive but the variations of the levels keep it interesting as you don't quite know what you're really getting into for sure.

The game is pretty challenging alone or with friends and the idea is repetitive but the variations of the levels keep it interesting as you don't quite know what you're really getting into for sure. Once you get far, start to run low on health and haven't found the next exit I think is when you will really appreciate what the game is all about.
    Pros:
    -Challenging
    -Multiplayer
    -Surprising level of depth and strategy
    -Great for Share features on PS4
    -Free if you get it with PS+ (Cross buy too)
    Cons:
    -Collecting the money and jewels is great but has little sense of reward    … Expand

    Fun, challenging, and classic style game. If you get frustrated easily and are the type of person who has little to no patience when playing games then this isn't for you. For those who enjoy taking their time and thinking about the next move then Spelunky is perfect.
