Hardcore gamers (the audience for this title) tend to be careful with how they spend their money and I totally understand if they are suspicious about paying for something they can legitimately play for free.
#Cave story review for free#
The only real problem with Cave Story is that you've been able to play it for free for six years. That's not a complaint I'm just pointing it out for the retro gamers. Most of the tunes have that very recognizable 8-bit sound, but at times they drift into more elaborate electronica that wouldn't be possible with the NES' modest sound chip. There are numerous moments in Cave Story that will delight you, actually, from returning lost puppies to their owner to a recurring boss named Balrog that likes to make Kool-Aid Man-style entrances.Ĭurly Story mode lets you play through the game as fan-favorite character Curly Brace.Ĭave Story's old school soundtrack is wonderful, although chiptune purists may notice that it's not all authentic NES music. Around halfway through the game you get a jetpack, which is one of the most fun items you'll ever play with.
#Cave story review upgrade#
Cave Story uses an upgrade system much like Blaster Master, meaning enemies drop experience points that will increase the level of your equipped weapon - but that level will also go down as you take damage. Some are given to you as part of the story, but you'll have to search for the more powerful weapons. You'll find some very cool weapons and gadgets in the caves. There are three endings to see (bad, normal, and good) and the game is cleverly designed to allow you to view them all. It's pretty obnoxious when you make it to the fourth boss, die, and have to go back and do it all over again. Most of the time you're able to save and heal with regular frequency, but the climax sends four boss fights in a row at you with no chance to rest - and that's not even quite the end of the game. You'll experience a few cheap deaths, but the game avoids being frustrating until the very end. You explore underground caves, do a lot of tricky platforming, upgrade your weapons, and search for secrets.
