Digger T. Rock: Legend of the Lost City is an action game that was re-released in the Rare Replay compilation (2015, Xbox One).
+ Fun core concept, and supplies are in randomised locations each time you play which adds longevity.+ Caverns invite you to explore every inch in search of jewels, as they can be traded in to stock up on supplies.
+ Fantastic element of suspense when the timer begins and you frantically search for the cavern exit before it closes.
- Collision detection is inconsistent and there's often a delay being pressing the button and it being recognised.
- Respawning enemies are a huge pain, especially when you're trying to cycle through items to drop a ladder.
- You can't attack upwards with your shovel, yet mosquitoes swarm from above for some very cheap hits.
- Power-ups are a good idea, but they don't last long enough and are frequently placed in locations away from foes.
