Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder

Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder is a 1–4-player action-adventure game set in wildland valleys, where you explore mines, nautical caves and ruins of ancient civilizations. Inspired by Western, Dieselpunk and Lovecraftian themes, it follows your search for riches and the mystery of a great explorer. You begin with a pickaxe in a mine after your drill machine breaks, then work toward a surface camp where your journey can begin.

Mine the valleys

Mine and carry valuables back to the surface for your mission assigners. Spend your rewards on tools and upgrades, including a faster pickaxe, dynamite that can be used on many obstacles, and a shovel for digging and moving through caves. The caves and mines are procedurally generated and partially destructible, and their networks shift as you explore.

Your equipment can also include a hi-tech hammer, a six-shooter, a chain-shovel and a gold pan that can be used as a shield. Gadgets evolve with upgrades. If you use TNT while playing with a team, you need to watch out for your fellow miners.

Uncover the story

Follow the path of a great explorer through the valleys and discover who he was, why he came and what happened to him. Scattered comic pages tell a story of greed, eldritch power and secrets beyond space and time. The collectible comic book Clayton - The Greed reveals the Valley’s history as you progress, and the story has multiple discoverable endings, each offering a different angle.

Co-op mining

Play with up to four people in cross-platform co-op, using public matchmaking or private groups. Crossplay supports players in VR and non-VR editions. Players receive equal shares of the rewards, as official Merchant Dollars, as long as someone carries the team’s loot back to the surface.

Customize your miner

Once you have bought them, you can combine clothes, hats and faces to customize your avatar. The game offers dozens of customization options, with a range of styles for your miner.
