The truth is that a game I installed on the off-chance it might give me a little bit of that Spelunky feeling has ended up being one of my favourites of the year so far, and an outstanding example of how to borrow and remould elements of a seminal indie title. There's so much to admire, from the graphical flourishes as crates splinter and corpses cartoonishly slop and slide down walls leaving trails of blood, to the other heroes (AI controlled) who will assist you, but also steal loot from under your nose.

Caveblazers is a fun and addictive platforming roguelike with plenty of content to keep you saying, "just one more run".

Caveblazers manages to separate itself pretty well from Spelunky and some of its other competition. It’s a solid roguelike that always feels fair and gives players a real challenge to complete. The combat is fast-paced and exciting, and the controls are as tight as you could hope for, with the exception of the bow. If you’re a fan of roguelikes, then this game is definitely one to check out.
