Taking damage from both monsters and environmental obstacles always feels like your mistake, not the game design's, so I never found myself frustrated by a death.Īs much as Cave Story has been one of my favourite games for many years, it's hard to ignore that it has been available for free for as many years. When you take damage, your equipped weapon loses experience, making it weaker. Most weapons have their own levelling system which requires you to collect shiny gold pieces dropped by enemies. Many of these are useful for different scenarios, with some powerful secret weapons to discover. Throughout the game, you'll find a variety of weapons, including your default Polar Star gun, a missile launcher, and the Fireball. The first area of the game teaches you all the basics without you even knowing it has, which is far better than an obnoxious tutorial.Ĭontrols are as simple as the SNES games Cave Story harks back to use the analog stick or d-pad to move, press A to jump, B to shoot, X to open your inventory, and the ZR/ZL buttons to switch your weapon. I've always appreciated games that don't treat you like an idiot, and this is one of them.
