About
Start with a pickaxe in one hand and nothing in the other. Excavate the bedrock, reap the rewards of Mother Earth, and trade the mined valuables for new gadgets, travels, funky wild fashion, and more. Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder is a 1-4-player VR action-adventure game set in wildland valleys, where you discover old mines, nautical caves, and ruins of ancient civilizations inspired by Western, Dieselpunk and Lovecraftian themes. Explore the "pristine" lands, loot its riches, and unravel the mystery linked to a great explorer. As you go, it's best to keep a six-shooter nearby just in case.
Get thrown right away into the deep end by being stuck in the mines as your drill machine broke. With a single pickaxe, work your way to the surface camp where your journey can begin in earnest. Your goal is simply to mine and carry loot back to the surface the best you can for your mission assigners. With the surplus reward that you get, you can buy new things like upgrading your dependable pickaxe with a shinier look! (And faster digging rate.) Or buy dynamites that work on pretty much anything that needs to be worked on. Maybe you fancy a shovel that works for both digging and moving through the caves like a spider-miner. Whatever your preferred loadout, you will be ready to go deeper into the ever-shifting caves than any miner before or after you! (At least that's what Merchant Trading Company says when selling their gear to any miner, which they must be 100% right about, right?... Right.)
The valleys have their mysteries and they hide them well. Step by step the player follows the same path where a great explorer has once wandered. Who is this hardy explorer? Why did he come to these valleys? And where is he now? The answers to these and more lie in the depths of the valleys. The story has multiple endings, each revealing a different side of it. Find the scattered comic pages to a tale of greed, eldritch power, and secrets beyond space and time. Who the wanderer is and why he did what he did in the valleys become clear in the end, but is it really the end?
Gather a party of up to 4 players. Your role in the mining team is totally up to you! As long as at least somebody is carrying their weight in gold back to the surface, you all get paid in official Merchant Dollars equally. Co-op crossplay supports public matchmaking and private groups, and you are very free to show your wildlands drip by combining things from a generous selection of clothes, hats and faces once you've bought them first.
So, take a pickaxe (and your friends) with you and head to the wildlands for the riches it holds, find out the secrets it contains, and dig deeper into the valleys than any adventurer before or after you!
Discoveries, dangers, and digging.
Mine your way with the dependable pickaxe, versatile dynamites, hi-tech hammer, and more!
Procedurally generated partially destructible cave and mine networks.
Grab the six-shooter, chain-shovel, and the gold-pan-turned-to-a-shield if things get rough. TNT works fine too, just mind your team members if you aren't lone-wolfing! Gadgets evolve with upgrades.
1-4 player crossplay co-op of private groups or public matchmaking, also between VR and non-VR.
Collectable comic book Clayton - The Greed reveals the history of the Valley throughout the player’s journey.
Multiple discoverable endings of the story, each revealing a different angle to it.
Player avatar customization with dozens of things from clothes to faces to hats. Wildlands fashion is a wildly funky fashion that has something for every taste.

[h1] What happened[/h1] I really do not understand, the first one was so much better than this one, this is just a bit blur, so much hype, all hot air, unstable, unimaginative, un-interesting. Such a waste of money, such a shame. Devs who really just lie about the effort they put in then run away with the money instead of making something good make me sick.
Это какая-то невероятно стыдная и неловкая игра, которая на скриншотах выглядит как что-то интересное, но на деле - абсолютный мусор. Если уж покупать, то строго по скидке.
Works on Reverb G2. Cave Digger 2 is not a terrible game, but unsatisfying combat and overwhelming amount of jank spoils it too much to recommend. Also Deep Rock Galactic being entirely playable with free VR mod makes CD2 even less attractive. The only truly enjoyable part of CD2 is progression. It is really well paced and exciting, with tools sometimes getting new unexpected properties after an upgrade. If only the rest of the game could've been at the same level of quality, then it would have rival DRG, but sadly it is more on the same level with something like Bean Stalker. Movement and item interactions are very janky, and it hurts both exploration and combat. And the latter is already weak by its own: enemies are brain dead and only possess threat when they clip inside the terrain and attack you through it. There is only one gun and shooting it feels and sounds very unsatisfying. Hitboxes are imprecise, and enemies have very little reaction to being non-lethally hit. Melee combat is also very basic, and it's simply not viable against some enemy types. Walking over rough surfaces causes annoying screen wobble, some staircases are not even passable without jumping. Climbing anything is very awkward, especially for ropes, where jank can just throw you back to the floor. Terrain collisions during movement can cause level crashes, it happened to me 3 times in 7 hours. Finally, visuals are quite bad even by Quest standards. For a game mostly set in dark caves, CD2 has horrible interior lighting. And most of the textures are just comically low res.
oh man this game is fun! especially with friends i recommend it the first one was also amazing to haha the secrete endings and what not they recently updated it to exit the shaft to im pretty sure i do recommend this
Best Digger game in VR! Makes more fun with friends :)
Just a little too jank to warrent a $25 price tag. (sometimes to where I question if anyone playtested it) Game is also wayyy too easy, and a very severe lack of enemy variety. The same rock-snail thing that appears throughout the entire game and the giant golem creatures in the final area are the only difficult enemies. But even the golem can be cheesed with the explosive revolver. There is also a bit of a lack of content, I will take you about 2-5 hrs depending on what you are doing. Overall, I can't recommend this game in it's current state. And no, getting the game on flatscreen for free still doesn't warrent it's current price tag. The flatscreen version is just the same game but now console players can also have the sub-par cave-digger 2 experience. If you want a high quallity $25 POLISHED VR game go play Vertigo Remastered.
There's constant wobbling on your character/camera, when you turn, move, jump, hit something => there's a wobble. It gives me big motion sickness and there's no option to remove this, just some kind of tunnel vision that barely hides it.
Quite a fun VR game, just mining away and getting upgrades :D
Cave Digger 3 when?
Cave dig 2: Dig harder! this games really fun! single player, or multiplayer! just be ready for things that can latch on, bite, stab, shoot, and other things of that nature, other then that, this is a fun adventure, of randomly generated caves ,enemy's and other things like that, its never ending fun, you can re-roll your modifiers so you can go into each cave differently, there's different area's with enemy's, loot, and rewards/upgrades. - and the co-op is fun, stable and not laggy (might depend on where you're located) but so far this game is really fun!
