Small game that still peaks my interest since 3ds
This is a fantastic game! I remember playing the WiiWare demo a long time ago and I've been absolutely enthralled with the game since! it's unfortunate there will not be a sequel but maybe that's for the best.
An extremely good game when it's not reminding you that it was made in 2004 by a Japanese man.
I used to play this on my Wii, but I really struggled to get through it as a kid. Playing it again as an adult has been very fun!! I love the game's plot, the characters, and the game itself is beautiful to look at, even 15 years later. I highly recommend this game!
cave story é um excelente jogo, ele possui uma gameplay fluida e divertida, os bosses são desafiadores porem justos, os personagens são muito carismatícos e a história apesar de simples e bastante envolvente.
A classic game, one of the first really big indies. Having said that the publisher Nicalis kinda screwed over the developer, and since you can get the game for free you may want to consider getting it either for free or getting the Switch version which is also more feature complete if you want the version with the most stuff in it. As for the actual game. It's a run-and-gun metroidvania with a good variety of weapons. It's not overwhelmingly difficult (unless you want it to be) and can be beaten in a sensible amount of time. The movement is quick, snappy and responsive. The enemy variety is perhaps a little low, but the main draw of this game is the boss battles, which are frequent and varied. You zip around the environment swapping weapons in order to deal with changing tides of battle and environment types, and as combat goes on your weapons grow more powerful, so it encourages reaching a flow state. As for the narrative, it's an interesting adventure with likable characters, but the tone can be a bit all over the place. I don't think I would count that as a negative necessarily, but it certainly has the feeling of being written by someone who is not a "writer". There are moments of humor and moments of great tragedy, but they don't really feel like they belong to the same story. I'd argue that's part of the charm though, and it's not a badly written game, just odd. Cave Story is one of those games that I think everyone should play, it's a classic game made with passion by someone who cared deeply about it, and given there are so many versions and so few barriers to playing it, there really is no reason not to.
엔딩 3번 봤는데도 질리지 않고 재밌게 했음
