The Vita Lounge - I have to admit, my curiosity with Spelunky only really started when I read that it was coming to the Vita. From here I found Eurogamer’s 10/10 review and so I started my investigation. For those of you who don’t know, Spelunky actually started as a freeware title for the PC way back in 2008 and was so popular that it went on to receive an enhanced XBox 360 release and a further official PC release. Fast forward to last Wednesday and Spelunky finally hit the Vita and PS3 as a crossbuy title. Spelunky has you on a quest as a spelunker (read – cave explorer) through four different worlds in randomly generated caves. Touted as a rogue-like (read – crushing difficulty and death means you have to start over) platformer what you have here is a rock solid experience that you will love or hate. Or perhaps love to hate. Maybe even hate to love.
As we come to the end of 2021, let's take a look back as we celebrate many anniversaries that are up and coming next year.
"With so many wonderful indies released in September, catch up on the very best with our awards in 12 distinct categories. Have fun!" - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
"Spelunky is considered a classic roguelike for good reason. Its hazard-filled structure will have you constantly learning new tricks as you continue to progress further and further. In fact, it even remains superior to its recent sequel so I highly recommend giving it a go." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
