Ive played this little game many times for the most part of my life, the freeware back in the day, the ds version and then the 3ds version. The ost and the sfx are still untouchable. The gameplay is just as good and the hidden ending is still as hard. Cave Story is the father of modern indie games and it will always be one of my favorite games.
I have a great love for Cave Story ever since I first played the game on the Wii back in the day. The gameplay is tight, the soundtrack is absolutely superb, and the story is compelling yet mysterious. With multiple endings, plenty of weapons, upgrades, and quite a few bosses to tackle, you can sink a fair bit of time into this game. Highly recommend!

You cannot go wrong with Cave Story. Very solid game.
Maravilhoso, típico clássico esquecido, costumava jogar quando meu PC tinha só 1 de ram, mas nunca tive a chance de zerar até agora. Adoro a história e também sou apaixonado pela aparência de jogo indie do início dos anos 2010s. A gameplay é bem curtinha e tem diferentes finais o que instiga em terminar mais de uma vez. Essencial pra todo mundo que gosta de um bom plataforma, bem na pegada de metroidvania.
밖에서 공짜로 할수 이씀 근데 개재밌음 공짜로도 하고 돈내고도 하네
非常不错的一款二维动作冒险游戏，虽然画风古早，但是制作精良，武器等级机制很有意思，不过最后的BOSS连战对我这种苦手来说还是有点难
Pretty short, but nonetheless worthy to complete. Soundtracks are nice and characters are loveable.
Has been saved. I originally gave this version a fairly negative review. As a player from the original fan translation, to the DSI version, to when this first released, up to the Switch port this was arguably the worst way to play it due to numerous outdated features. A month later they dropped a beta with a full release that is slated to drop shortly after that not only brings the features up to par with the Switch release but improves the graphical quality significantly(new water physics are perty). From one of the worst ways to play this masterpiece back to being one of the best. It sucks that it took over 10 years but glad to have another excuse to 100% this indie gem! Old review: ~~Cave Story is an absolute favorite of mine and despite what my hours say I have played this game religiously. It's not easy to admit but this is probably one of the worst ways to play this masterpiece in it's current state. Less features than any of the current releases, limited options to scale or full screen the game, and cloud saves did not work properly forcing me to completely restart. If you're able to I'd currently recommend the Switch release as it's usually cheaper or just download it for free from the fan translation. For $15 I shouldn't have to resize the screen at launch or have to restart the game because I completed a challenge run.~~

스팀 구매전부터 여러번의 엔딩을 봤지만 아직도 간간히 켜서 재탕하는 게임.. 주변에는 이 게임 모르는 사람 뿐이지만 정말 재미있는게임 왜 아무도 안해줄까.. 10불에 공략없이 진행하면 10시간 조금 안되는 플탐 첫 게임은 공략없이 해보고 다음은 공략보고 진엔딩,헬모드 진입해보면 좋을것 같음 솔직히 옛날 게임이라 요즘 게임처럼 개념 세이브나 깔끔한? 플레이가 되는 게임은 아니지만 조금 불편함을 감수해도 충분히 해볼만한 게임 보이는 거랑 다르게 생각보다 조금 어려워서 손은 조금 탈것 같고 진엔딩 조건이 빡세서 진엔딩 보려다 그만둘것 같기도 한데 그런거 다 무시하고도 추천할만한 게임 생긴 그래픽이나 가격보고 고민된다해도 지금 바로 사서 해보자 정말 좋은 게임임.. ㅠ
