absolutely wonderful game
jogo daorinha, com história e personagens legais. bem daora de se jogar.
really simple yet memorable title but the more you play the more you realize the monumental amount of effort that went into this game. you really have to remember that cave story came out in 2004 it just oozes that much style. i mean these days you dont have many solo developers with the guts to code their own ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tracker and synthesizer software from scratch much less put out a phenomenal soundtrack with it

인터넷 에서 본 주인공이 가는데 마다 다 죽는 게임 이라는 리뷰를 보고 샀었는데 생각보다 그런 내용은 아니였음 가는데 마다 나름 최선을 다했고 재미도 있었음 고전 명작이 이런 느낌이라고 생각함 엣날에는 아예 무료였다던데 돈주고 할만한 가치가 있었다
Played through on easy. Interesting platformer, worth a run. Charming. Hard in places, even on easy.
A fun, nostalgic pixel shooter game that had a catchy sound track. There were a few things that made it frustrating though. 1) I was constantly fighting the character's momentum, and it made it annoying for precision platforming and battling some bosses like Monster X. 2) Getting hard locked out of certain endings due to getting the booster early or not. 3) Not being able to choose save slots when saving mid game, which would make it easier to avoid getting hard locked. I don't want to wast 4 hours redoing the game again just to get to the point where I can make a choice to get the boosters early again.
They finally made this damn game work normally now I can have fun weeeeeeee
trilha sonora magnifica
I've been playing Cave Story since I was a little girl, and it remains one of my favorite games of all time. An engaging storyline, fast-paced platformer gameplay, and fun characters, what's not to love?
I originally bought this on the Wii Shop Channel back when I was about 10 and could never beat it. So finally beating the game today, 15 or so years later, was surreal to say the least. All I'll say is that it's a beautiful story with really compelling and sometimes really challenging gameplay, and I'm really glad yet somewhat sad to have finally finished it after so long. Highly recommend, play it as soon as you can.
