Metaprogression defeats the whole purpose. Turns what could be a fun challenge into a grind. Actually improving your skills at the game feels pointless. These games are not RPGs enough for that to work. It literally just happens so shitters don't get mad when they lose. But, by the way, Spelunky did have level skips unlockable.

the unlockable level skips are just a modern convenient version of passwords, still an arcade game

They're pretty balanced. Not a criticism. You don't want to enter the late game without gold/items. 2 gives you some chances at catching up if you use them but it's still balanced.

Sounds about right, if I recall correctly I was around 1200 deaths when I got my first hell win.

it's not that i hate metaprogression it just should be understood as a serious departure and not something that can be shone horned into any game as a feature.

it depends on how the game implements it
it sucks in dead cells because the game is actually made to be grinded while you upgrade your character
but in the binding of isaac for example you can easily beat your first run and the game just opens up with a ton of extra stuff you unlock later

Yeah I never really considered spelunky a rogue like.

I really wish Vagante got even half the popularity of Spelunky. It feels a lot more controlled, methodical, Like what I imagine nethack would feel like if it was turned into a sidescrolling action game.

Did you buy a google stadia or so?
I thought streaming video games was a DOA concept.
Are there any "cloud gaming" services even still operating?

I never liked Spelunky because it always played kinda shit and the HD version removed the single best part of the original freeware version (Buzinkai's god tier music)
