About Cave Story+

✦ AI summary

Wake up as an amnesiac hero in a charming world of rabbit-like creatures and blast your way through fast-paced action-adventure combat across massive levels filled with bosses and secrets. This landmark indie classic stands out for its winning blend of tight 8-bit style gameplay, heartfelt storytelling, and multiple endings that reward exploration and discovery.

Arguably the most well-known indie game of all time, Cave Story features a completely original storyline wrapped with personality, mystery and hours of fast-paced fun. Cave Story is an action-adventure game from the critically acclaimed independent designer, Daisuke Amaya--or Pixel to his fans. Overflowing with unmatched charm and character, Cave Story takes you into a rare world where a curious race of innocent rabbit-like creatures, called Mimigas, run free.
You wake up in a dark cave with no memory of who you are, where you came from or why you're in such a place. Uncovering Mimiga Village you discover that the once-carefree Mimigas are in danger at the hands of a maniacal scientist. The Mimigas’ only hope rest squarely on the shoulders of a quiet, amnesiac boy who can't remember his own name.
Run, jump, shoot, fly and explore your way through a massive action-adventure reminiscent of classic 8- and 16-bit games. Take control and learn the origins of this world’s power, stop the delusional villain and save the Mimiga!

Game is definitely a classic, but it has some issues, some fundamental and others specific. Definitely worth picking up sometime when on sale, just be prepared for some frustrating design decisions and one of the worst final bosses of all time.

Classic 2D action, technically the best official version as of writing this review. I wish that the old "WiiWare" look and 4:3 aspect ratio weren't restricted to the legacy branch (which thankfully is still available), but that's a minor complaint overall.
