You quickly become mixed up in the scheme and try your best to save them.

Personal

My friend Cody introduced me to the game, and I played it only enough to beat Balrog in the first encounter. I put it down for quite awhile after that, but eventually picked it back up and played it through properly.

Status

Cave Story is freeware. I own Cave Story+ and have beaten it on easy difficulty and got 35/76 achievements.

Best Version: Cave Story+ for Windows

— This section contains spoilers! —

Good

  • The story is a bit cartoonish, but fun and exciting.
  • Daisuke Amaya's music is wonderful, especially with the remastered music in Cave Story+.
  • The graphics and art are really quite beautiful, again, even better in the upgrade.
  • The fact that the low-res game is free is also a bonus.

Bad

  • While they packed an awful lot into the game, it still feels too short.
  • In easy mode at least, most of the bosses are -very- easy and can be defeated with the following strategy: Switch to missiles, get close, shoot rapidly, boss dies.

Ugly

  • Nothing. A well-made game all-around.
