Diamond Caves

I've been familiar with DC title since 2006. I have so many great memories with DC3. I used to play with friends, however my copy got lost over time. When I noticed steam version of DC, I immediately bought it in hope of seeing, what I remembered in DC game. And to be honest... No disappointment. Gameplay-wise this game presents itself, just as I remembered. Simple controls, simple goals with sometimes not so simple riddles. Style and level design hasn't changed a bit (except for menu and setting but I'll get to it later). What really makes this version better is capability to let me play levels from other players. :V DC3 had a nasty bug, which changed all emeralds and diamonds into enemies after a short period of time. There ARE a few downsides of this product though. First of all is lack of classic DC font. An update came in and reinserted it but said "update" messed up font's background. So while having a nice pixel art chars, you also get a not so nice black background, which overlaps levels. Looks ugly. :/ Second is music bug. Originally I recall, that DC3 had music only in menu. When I launched steam DC I got welcomed by a chiptune, which kept me a company even throughout playing levels, which was surprising, however not bad at all. Dunno what happened. Since the latest update, no music plays during gameplay. Not only that but there's a chance it stops playing when you exit a level. Weird... Also sometimes I feel like playable character doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥ about my input. But whatever. It's still a pretty fun game. One does not have to be a boulder dash enthusiast to enjoy Diamond Caves. I recommend it to everyone, who wants to relax, test their reflex and thinking, or speedrunners, I suppose(?).

This game is absolutely legendary. There needs to be someone who can make a flashy game like BoulderDash 30th year anniversary edition, Diamond Caves and Rocks & Diamonds by Artsoft. I still do love this game though. I gotta say though there is a glitch that happens in the editor when you are trying to make an infinite map. So, that ended my preferred level editor but all in all, the game is solid. I recommend it if you are a new-comer to this type of game.

Macht genauso viel Spaß wie früher auf dem Amiga. Gute Mischung aus Spielspaß und Herausforderung. An die Steuerung muss man sich erst etwas gewöhnen, ist aber bestimmt dem Original nachempfunden. Das würde auch erklären warum früher immer die Joysticks kaputt waren.

Grew up playing DCII off of a shareware CD and absolutely loved it and when I saw DC3 come out in primary school I was even more excited, although at the time I was never able to purchase either game I quickly picked this up as soon as I saw it on Steam with hope it would be as good and it is. The only flaws I've found is it doesn't include the levelsets for 1-3 nor a traditional UI just an awful version that looks to be ported straight off the mobile version which REALLY doesn't work for the PC edition. However the nostalgia this game brings back of playing on my first computer does to a degree make up for this, I would love to see a overhaul of the user interface to look more like DCII or DC3s but besides that it is a brilliant game that I would recommend to anyone who is a fan of the Boulder Dash style game

Seit über 30 Jahren (seit Boulderdash) bin ich immer wieder fasziniert, welche Vielschichtigkeit das Spiel bietet und im aktuellen Editor, auch sehr kreativ erzeugbar ist. Es gibt langfristig nichts geileres, als dieses Spiel!

Gra Diamond Caves to powrót do jednej z lepszych gier z czasów Commodore 64, która nazywała się Boulder Dash. Nadal to właśnie pierwowzór jest dla mnie niedoścignionym ideałem jeśli chodzi o grywalność, ale tutaj również jest dobrze. Poziomy różnią się od siebie wyglądem i budową. Na niektórych wystarczy zebrać wszystkie diamenty, ale inne plansze będą obfitowały w pułapki czy zagadki logiczne. Czasem też będzie trzeba wykazać się sprawnością, żeby uciec przed spadającym kamieniem. Zdecydowanie jest to produkcja, której nie wolno pominąć jeśli wspominamy starsze gry.

Muhteşem bir oyun.
