Cons
Con The graphics are dated, but can be modded to a more modern standard with mod packs
Con Shallow hack and slash combat
Combat is a bit basic with no information on enemy health and not much in a way of enemy AI. Bad guys will just go straight for the player and all one can do is hack and slash until all are dead. Over time this become quite boring and annoying as there is really no depth.
Con Co-op is boring and confusing
In co-op this game is very confusing with little instruction on how to play. With little to spice up the game play, it gets boring quickly.
Con Difficult to the point of frustration
Spelunky is pretty difficult and some could say abusive, but with practice and a desire for masochism the game can be mastered.
