Miner Meltdown involves two teams of four people. The game offers a competitive fight for the precious resource of a gold mine. Participants appear on different sides of a randomly generated location and explore the map in search of gold, which is then used to upgrade equipment and buy twenty types of weapons. The winner is the team that scores the most points for killing opponents and neutral monsters inhabiting the caves.Miner Meltdown's cooperative mode offers three challenges - Death Match, Crazy King and Diamond Dash. If desired, you can choose a solo passage, then the artificial intelligence will take control of the rest of the miners. For each completed level, the player is awarded new character skins.Players fight for:
- A two-dimensional pixel Klondike, guarded by pixel mutants;
- A leading position on the Steam honor board.
- 70 achievements, mainly awarded for the effective use of various gadgets.
The game has a 100% destructible environment. Gamers move around the map using jetpacks and ropes. Among the project's disadvantages, it is worth noting the monotony of locations (a regular cave, an ice cave and a jungle) and empty servers. And if the repetitive background scenery is compensated by a randomly generated environment, then the lack of network partners significantly reduces the dynamics and fun of the gameplay.
