Spelunker Party! is an entertaining and adorable game for younger gamers in the household. It contains simple gameplay design that equals out to quick/fun experiences with a layer of RPG adding just a little depth to the gameplay. It does have its flaws, though, especially in difficulty, but nothing that gamers cannot work through. Definitely a title to consider, if you own a Switch.

Spelunker Party! offers a rather meaty package that will certainly provide dozens of hours of gameplay to the right audience, those able to stand the controls and difficulty or are looking for that sort of experience. Such people certainly exist out there and, while of course the unfairness certainly doesn't reach the levels of the NES or 8-Bit computer versions, the stiffness and accuracy required when playing still feels like something from a different age that won't necessarily appeal to everybody. With that in mind, however, Spelunker Party!, like other Spelunker games, chooses that approach on purpose so as to appeal to its fan-base and certainly does succeed in that regard! It is, therefore, a fairly good rendition of the series on Nintendo Switch that should lend itself well to multiplayer Spelunker parties amongst fans both online and locally, on the go.
