Spelunker 2: Yuusha heno Chousen (Spelunker 2: Challenge to the Hero) is an action RPG developed by Irem and released for the Famicom/NES in 1987. Departing from the fragile platforming of the original, this sequel lets you choose one of three character classesโan explorer, a cleric, or an esperโto delve into a sprawling cavern. You will battle enemies, level up your stats, and gather items to progress deeper into the subterranean world.
How to Play
Your objective is to explore the labyrinth, defeat bosses, and uncover hidden items while managing your health and magic meters. Use the Arrow keys for the D-pad to move, climb, and crouch. Press Z and X for the A and B buttons to jump, attack, or use magic, and press Enter (Start) and Shift (Select) to access your inventory. Each character has unique abilities: the explorer uses a knife and gun, the cleric wields a sword and holy magic, and the esper attacks with energy projectiles.
Tips
- You now have a health bar, meaning you no longer instantly die from small falls like in the first Spelunker, but dropping from too great a height will still cause damage.
- Take the time to hunt for hidden items; finding the map early on is crucial for navigating the confusing lower levels of the cavern.
