I used to play this a ton. The randomized levels, oodles of secrets and hidden depth, and the game's unique cadence of "hurry up" and "stop and observe the situation" creates a distinct gameplay feel that I don't see too often, but which gives the game a lot of its fun. And the sheer amount of randomized elements mean that I have no idea what I'll have to work with, or what will be possible. It's a different experience every time. That's also what I find so much fun about Broforce.
It took me a while to 100% but i had fun every single second. it's just so fun explore and find out the secrets this game has, every single time you play you find something new. its better not to say anything about the game since playing this blind is the best way to play it, but the fast pacing and thight controlls makes this one of my favorite roguelikes, you can learn and predict the terrain generation and its just so charming and creative.
The most painful and rage inducing game I have ever played, the amount of frustration I have received over my hundred hours of playtime doesn't even come close in comparison to any other videogame. 10/10.
(edit)
After 1,5 years of playing this game on and off I finally beat it. This is genuinely the hardest game I've ever played. It is painful and absolutely brutal and I still have so many secrets to go for but man it's such a great game.

If Spelunky 2 could speak: Your life literally is as valuable as a summer ant.
I'm just gonna stomp you, you're gonna keep coming back, I'm gonna seal up all my cracks, you're gonna keep coming back, why? Cause you keep smelling the syrup, you worthless bitchass fella!
You're gonna stay on my dick until you die. You serve no purpose in life, your purpose in life is to play my game sucking on my dick daily. Your purpose in life is to play blowing a dick daily.
Your life is nothing, you serve ZERO purpose.
You should kys, NOW!
And give somebody else a piece of that oxygen and ozone layer that's covered up so we can breathe inside this blue trapped bubble.
Cause what are you here for? To worship me? Kys!
I mean that with a hundred percent with a thousand percent.

spelunky is the kind of game i like thinking about playing more than actually playing. maybe im just a total scrub but spelunky just feels WAY too unforgiving at times, and while i appreciate a lot of what it does in terms of secrets and discovery, after a while it just feels like smashing my head into a brick wall, and i just get frustrated and give up. i like hard games, just not when losing one bit of hp makes me want to reset the entire run, because i know itll be a whole ordeal to get that hp back. i gave up on getting to cosmic ocean long ago because it just feels infinitely out of my reach, i dont feel remotely good enough at the game to do that, even after more than 170 hours of the game. dont get me wrong, spelunky 2 is phenomenal, it just gets a bit too punishing for my tastes
