It&#8217;s a 2D platform adventure, like <strong>Metroid<\/strong> or <strong>Castlevania<\/strong>, with an involving storyline and lots of exploration, jumping and shooting. Like many games, it begins with your character waking up knowing nothing, which is a great excuse to go and find stuff out! It&#8217;s just been released for the Nintendo Wii, but you can still download it free for your <a href=\"http:\/\/cave-story.en.softonic.com\/\"><strong>PC<\/strong><\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/cave-story.en.softonic.com\/mac\"><strong>Mac<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s decidedly <strong>retro<\/strong>, even for a game made in 2004. Cave Story feels like a never made <strong>Super Nintendo<\/strong> game. You can imagine it being huge in 1992 &#8211; but like the best games of any era it is still very playable. Even if you&#8217;re put off by its quirks, blocky graphics and bleepy sound, I challenge you to not get drawn into it by the time you&#8217;re out of the first cave.<\/p>\n<p>With multiple endings, leveling up and hours of gameplay it&#8217;s an amazing game, free or not, and even more so when you realize it&#8217;s the work of a single developer. Originally in Japanese but soon translated into English, Cave Story really is a game everyone should play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cave Story has been around for years, gradually building a fanatical fan base that rivals any cult game you might care to mention.
