About Cave Digger 2
Cave Digger 2
Start with a pickaxe in one hand and nothing in the other. Excavate the bedrock, reap the rewards of Mother Earth, and trade the mined valuables for new gadgets, travels, funky wild fashion, and more. Cave Digger 2 is a 1-4-player action-adventure game set in wildland valleys, where you discover old mines, nautical caves, and ruins of ancient civilizations inspired by Western, Dieselpunk and Lovecraftian themes. Explore the "pristine" lands, loot its riches, and unravel the mystery linked to a great explorer. As you go, it's best to keep a six-shooter nearby just in case.
Tools and Progression
Get thrown right away into the deep end by being stuck in the mines as your drill machine broke. With a single pickaxe, work your way to the surface camp where your journey can begin in earnest. Your goal is simply to mine and carry loot back to the surface the best you can for your mission assigners. With the surplus reward that you get, you can buy new things like upgrading your dependable pickaxe with a shinier look! (And faster digging rate.) Or buy dynamites that work on pretty much anything that needs to be worked on. Maybe you fancy a shovel that works for both digging and moving through the caves like a spider-miner. Whatever your preferred loadout, you will be ready to go deeper into the ever-shifting caves than any miner before or after you! (At least that's what Merchant Trading Company says when selling their gear to any miner, which they must be 100% right about, right?... Right.)
Story
The valleys have their mysteries and they hide them well. Step by step the player follows the same path where a great explorer has once wandered. Who is this hardy explorer? Why did he come to these valleys? And where is he now? The answers to these and more lie in the depths of the valleys. The story has multiple endings, each revealing a different side of it. Find the scattered comic pages to a tale of greed, eldritch power, and secrets beyond space and time. Who the wanderer is and why he did what he did in the valleys become clear in the end, but is it really the end?
Co-op Multiplayer
Gather a party of up to 4 players. Your role in the mining team is totally up to you! As long as at least somebody is carrying their weight in gold back to the surface, you all get paid in official Merchant Dollars equally. Co-op crossplay supports public matchmaking and private groups, and you are very free to show your wildlands drip by combining things from a generous selection of clothes, hats and faces once you've bought them first.
So, take a pickaxe (and your friends) with you and head to the wildlands for the riches it holds, find out the secrets it contains, and dig deeper into the valleys than any adventurer before or after you!

This is a very Fun Game Thank you VR KIWI for having me play this GAME :)
Not really fun. Maybe co-op is? I don't know, didn't get to try it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htHlN4HYMTE [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40526744-KillaCyst/]Steam Recommendations[/url] [url=https://youtube.com/killacyst?sub_confirmation=1]YouTube[/url] [url=https://www.tiktok.com/@killacyst]TikTok[/url]
I do love mining. The feeling when you take the pickaxe and start hitting the rock, no matter if the goal is to enrich my guild or to fill my own pocket is great. At least in games, IRL i am soft 40 years old IT guy who never touched mining equipment. Anyway, based on that, Cave Digger 2 should be a game tailored for me - as that is what you need to do. Mining. And a lot of it. Let's say that game is almost delivering what i need, almost scratching the itch. See, the mining here is...well, not really a mining. Most of the nodes are just lumps with different colors on the cave walls and floor. One hit (or even, one shot from your gun) and they are done. Then, i need to add the disappointing optimization of the game. Using a machine with specs way higher than the recommended ones, i was still getting lag each time when the game autosaved or loaded new locations. Another thing that i didn't liked much is the lack of purpose. Ok, you can open new mines and new regions, and upgrade your gear, but in the end of the day why i am doing this? I haven't managed to find an answer. So...yeah. I have mixed feelings about "Cave Digger 2" and i can't really recommend it. Haven't tried the mult…
