Sigue siendo una maravilla de juego, un exponente de su genero y una recomendacion a cualquiera a quien le gusten los videojuegos en general
[h2]It's One Of The Best[/h2] Damn. It’s really been a decade and a half since this game came out? One of the first games I ever picked up on Steam when I was first getting into video games. What a trip that was. Being invited into a world of new possibilities, transitioning from a console gamer to PC, I remember the original version fondly, the secrets that have shifted and changed with the Cave Story updates and remaster from the Switch port, etc. I’ve even run into so many RPG references in future video games that came after it, only to realize they were references after coming back. It’s so wild how influential this game was, revolutionizing the classic genre and tropes of video games so confidently and in such a short, multi-branching story. The remaster added a ton of new content, multiplayer, and so on, though I mostly sat here playing through the main game, with no real interest in messing around with bonus features. I was just happy to revisit this masterpiece and its revamped soundtrack and mods. [h2]Issue[/h2] The only real issue I noticed was the final bosses. I don’t recall them being this devastatingly annoying to deal with, no save states, just 3-4 boss fights back to back with no heal replenishing, etc. Not really a skill issue, just a pattern memorization, though it may bother others equally when you just wanna play the game and just experience it, you know? [h2]Conclusion[/h2] Overall, I am pleased to have played through Cave Story once again. It’s one of those classics that ages well, making you feel as if it were only yesterday that you sat down to play it for the first time, being blown away by the story, characters, and progression. It's also on sale for !? 1 DOLLAR!? What are you waiting for!? Pick it up!

I remember playing this game 5 years ago, and I played it again in 2025. This game is still a masterpiece.
Love this game so much, the update was a welcome suprise and love the fact that you can use mods....the music in this games does the job so very well in giving me a punch in the feels of the old 16 bit era, great giana sisters , bionic commandos and aye mario etc...thanks for doing the update, shows continuing love by a dev for their game
i remember playing this in my old apartment when aeon genesis dropped the translation patch. i was utterly stunned that a single person made this game. it truly is one of the greatest indie games of all time, and every aspect of it holds up incredibly well. seriously, go play it.
"So long as you always maintain a sense of exploration, you will someday find the way out. This is my hope." I have played this game on the Wii, 3Ds, Switch, and PC. Today, for the first time in years, I went back and 100% completed the game. Every achievement, every challenge, every ending. Cave Story is THE indie-game. I would not be the same person I am today without this game, playing it at the ripe age of 8 years old. This game has remained locked in a special part of my heart for over a decade. Thank you, Pixel.
Excellent RPG action indé, à faire une fois
