Cavern Kings is an endless action platformer created by [http:/vine2d.com Vine] and [http:/ghor.github.io Ghor] that pulls inspiration from Super Crate Box (Game) and Risk of Rain (Game), with a musical soundtrack by Ryunocore. Originally funded by a Kickstarter campaign, Cavern Kings is currently available on Steam Early Access with a DRM-free version available at [http:/itch.io itch.io].
Gameplay in Cavern Kings begins by choosing one of twelve available characters, each with a different ability, along with a gun and a digging instrument. The player's main goal is to dig as deep into the randomly generated caverns as they can, while collecting permanently stacking powerups and defeating swarms of enemies and boss monsters. Weapons in Cavern Kings are designed to perform uniquely, and every digging tool doubles as a melee weapon. By collecting gems that drop from enemies and crates, players can purchase one of fifty different powerups from chests or shops that can be found in the caverns. When a player dies in the caverns, the game is ended and they must start over from the beginning, but they can try again with any new characters or powerups they have unlocked in previous runs.
