The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate
Multiplayer Roguelike Game
With little more than a torch to light their way, would-be heroes enter The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate in search of shiny coins.But this particular dungeon crawler goes overboard with the treasure—it’s exploding with sacks of gold, chests brimming with gear, and vases glowing with the promise of untold fortunes.
Of course, the potential to line your pockets with such riches comes with its share of risks. And therein lies the rub...and the game’s wonderful hook.
The Greedy Cave 2 is a roguelike: When you die, you’re stripped of all possessions and progress. The one caveat is that you get to keep any gold-tier gear you’ve collected, regardless of what unfortunate fate you might meet at the fangs and claws of the dungeon’s monsters.
On the other hand, if you leave voluntarily with your life intact, you get to retain all collected currency and, more critically, the level progress you’ve fought tooth and nail for. Triggering an Escape Scroll allows you to make a swift exit when your health meter’s running dangerously low, but it sends you back to the beginning of the dungeon. This is where the game’s brilliant risk-versus-reward dynamic really kicks in: Do you leave with what you have or stick around for a few seconds longer to scoop up more precious treasure?
With every cleared floor comes better loot, cooler monsters, and alchemy stations capable of transforming your favorite gear into gold. Role-playing mechanics add even more temptation as you push to level up your character, unlock cool gear and weapons, and score rare crafting material. And should you find it in your heart to share, you can join forces with friends to take on the cave as a team.
This dungeon-crawling romp is ready to reward you with glory and fortune...as long as you don’t get too greedy.
