About Cavern Kings

THIS GAME IS INCOMPLETE AND NO LONGER IN DEVELOPMENT


However, it it mostly playable in it's current state!
Maybe some crashes here and there but definitely no multiplayer.

---

Cavern Kings is an infinite action platformer designed to make every playthrough unique and interesting.

Inspired by action-packed games like Vlambeer's Super Crate Box and the increasing difficulty aspects in Risk of Rain, Cavern Kings aims to explode with special effects in classical arcade fashion and create interesting synergies with its powerup system.

FEATURES

  • A dozen playable characters with special abilities
  • Randomized terrain and monster generation
  • Weapons that play and feel unique
  • Completely unnecessary amount of explosions
  • Never-ending difficulty that gets harder as you progress
  • Many big, bad, boss monsters ready to crush you
  • Beautifully crisp and lively pixel art
  • A grand total of 50 powerups to help you dig deeper

UPCOMING FEATURES

  • Finalizing the remaining characters and abilities
  • New character skins and cosmetics
  • Better variety in room generation
  • A handful of new weapons
  • At least 2 more bosses to get killed by
  • Finishing up the rest of the powerups
  • Polishing the game for quality and knocking out all the bugs

Pretty fun for what it is, but it's been abandoned and is very incomplete. There just isn't that much content here; a couple bosses and not much progression in level design or interesting enemies. The gameplay is a blast but there are definitely balance issues (homesick shard can softlock you and force you to fly into the death ceiling, for one thing). I'd love to see it finished! Maybe there's modding potential, I dunno. But if you need mods to make a game worth the price then it's not worth the price. Music and artstyle is nice tho.

Abandoned game...

Kickstarted way back when and... yeah. Obviously abandoned. Why Steam hasn't taken it down is beyond me.

Just play 2D Risk of Rain or even 3D Risk of Rain. Not a great game to pick up and play it can be very frustrating. You will drop into caves that are full of bats and fish like playing crossy roads, come-on. After getting a few powerups and levels you will make it to the first boss and die instantly. Oh and this game is still E-A after 12 years. Abandoned. Vine? Wasn't that the early ticky tocky that failed in 2013-2014? PASS
