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. Around halfway through the game you get a jetpack, which is one of the most fun items you'll ever play with.
#CAVE STORY PLUS 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. Cave Story plays like a hybrid of Metroid and Blaster Master. You aren't given any explanation at the beginning instead, you'll discover what's going on and who you are as you go.Ĭave Story has great boss fights. The storytelling here is way ahead of anything on the NES. While I realize that description doesn't sound very sophisticated, it's the way the plot unravels that makes it feel like a grown-up, twisted fairy tale. The boy must defeat the doctor and his underlings to rescue a captured Mimiga named Sue. He encounters a village of creatures that resemble rabbits called Mimigas and learns they have been nearly wiped out by an evil doctor. You control a young boy who awakens in a dangerous cave and sets out on a quest to determine his purpose. Although Cave Story plays and is presented like an NES game, the tale is more mature than what we were playing in 1987.
