Look I know Nicalis kinda screwed over Pixel but hear me out; boycotting the game wont show support for pixel. Just get his other game, Kero Blaster.
This is only one of the best Metroidvania type games to have ever been created. Great exploration, tight controls, awesome boss fights and a great story. In my humble opinion this is one of those games that everyone should play at least once, it is really worth it.

日本発の名作フリーゲーム 洞窟物語のsteam版 とても思い入れの深い作品のためsteam版も購入しました。 アクション・ストーリー・音楽すべてが良く20年以上たった今でも最高に面白いです。 これまでにもDSi・wii・3DSなど様々な機種に移植されてきた本作ですが正直今作の移植が一番ひどかったです(過去形) 日本発のゲームのはずなのにテキストによっては日本語化されておらず、チャレンジ後にはクラッシュなど所々の最適化不足が否めず「これなら最新のswitch版かオリジナル版の方がいい」という出来栄えでした。 しかし現在では約15年ぶりのアップデートが行われ、すべてがswitch版準拠となっております。 (現時点ではbeta版のみのため ブランチコードを入力する必要有 コードは[spoiler]ModPizzaParty[/spoiler]) 確認した範囲だとバグ系統は削除されており、クラッシュ等も起こらず度々言われていた実績関係も正常に開錠できました。 アップデートというよりswitch版をそのまま持ってきただけですが.... ゲーム自体は本当に面白いのでお勧めできます。僕の青春のゲームです。 実績について とてつもなく難易度が高いです。特にチャレンジ系・体力上限追加アイテムを一つも取らずにクリア・ハードモードクリアなどプレイヤーの腕を試される実績が数多くあり、最低でも4~5周はプレイ必須です。 また[spoiler] 血塗られた聖域 ・チャレンジの風要塞[/spoiler]など高難度ダンジョンのタイムアタックも要求されます。(かなりシビアで難しい) 逆にいうとアクションの腕に自信がある方にはとてもいい歯ごたえとなっているのでぜひ挑戦してほしいです。 また1年に1回のpixel氏の誕生日に起動する実績もあるのでご注意を ------------下記実績に関するバグについて(アップデートによって改善)------------------------- 上述したとおり、アップデート前(以下 従来版)だと実績等の不具合がとてつもなく多いです。 ・ストーリークリア系(グッドエンド・条件を満たしてクリア等) ・ボス撃破系(○○を撃破した) これらが日本語設定だと解除されません。なので達成したい場合は都度英語設定を行う必要があります。 収集アイテム系統は日本語設定でも問題なく取得できました。 ストーリーと別に用意してあるチャレンジに関しては最初のマシンガンチャレンジクリア後とランキング閲覧時に強制クラッシュするバグが発見されています。そのためマシンガンチャレンジをクリアしても次のチャレンジが解放されず実績解除が実質的不可能となっています。 必ず実績解除を目的とされる方もアップデート(現時点ではbeta版のみのため ブランチコードを入力)の上プレイしてください。
Comprei esse jogo por 5 reais em promoção (esse jogo vale isso, pois 27 reais não vale a pena) e tenho que admitir que me arrependo de ter comprado esse jogo depois de descobrir que a Nicalis é uma empresa egoísta e gananciosa, que além de fazer um port bem preguiçoso, onde os gráficos remasterizados são os mesmos da versão de Wii, o criador do jogo original, Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya, não recebe nada com essa versão. Se forem jogar Cave Story, joguem a versão original que é gratuita.
What a blast to play. I’ve played it for quite some time. While I’ve definitely raged on certain parts (if you know the sections of the game I’m talking about, you know what I mean) the game still manages to be fun. As of writing this I am trying to beat Hard Mode and am up to the Core for the first boss fight. My only gripe is that one of the achievements is actually broken. Kings of Power. This achievement does not track the amount of damage you deal… at ALL. I’ve tried so many things and nothing I do works. I also tried reaching out to Nicalis but as of writing this, have gotten nothing. No email. No reply. Not even an automated response. How long have I been waiting? More than two months, including weekends. I’m a little annoyed. Overall, great game, and it is worth the price. I just wish the publisher actually… y’know, responded to their audience. Edit: they fixed Kings of Power thank you so much Nicalis oh my god thank you so much

Port hecho con las pata sin nada nuevo ni inovador. Esta gratis en la pagina del desarrollador original, quien no recibe regalias por este port y "remaster" hecho por una manga de soretes. Que se vayan a lavar bien el orto los de Nicalis.
I love this game, I first played this on wii, and on 3ds. This game will forever be my game until Im old. Cave story is a great game.
I've played Cave Story a thousand times before. I've played on PC, I've played it on my DSi, I've played it on my 3DS, so surprisingly this is my first time playing Cave Story+. You should understand, this port has some hang ups, especially in some technical aspects that relates to controller support and just general QoL, but besides that it's a near perfect Remaster. To talk about the game. Without telling you to much, Cave Story lives up to it's reputation and then some, as I am able to come back and play this game time and time again with no issues or hang ups. It's a classic for a reason. If you're at all interested in playing it. Play it. You won't be let down. Also, I came back because of the Cave Story Rap Album/Walkthrough, so after you beat this indie Gem, go give it a listen, it's just as soulful as the game that inspired it.
An excellent platformer with a good plot and a bunch of endings.
