Cave Story. Photo = Epic Games Store Cave Story is a legendary indie game that is nicknamed the ‘King of Indie Games’. It is an indie game developed by one person in Japan, distributed in 2004. It is evaluated as a masterpiece that paved the way for the popularization of indie games, receiving high scores that are difficult to imagine as a single-person development. Developer Pixel (real name ‘Daisuke Amaya’) says the genre name is an exploration action, and if classified objectively, it is a 2D side-scrolling run-and-gun that goes around and shoots bullets to defeat enemies.
Epic Games said of this game, ‘Undoubtedly the most popular indie game, Cave Story+ offers an original story full of personality, mystery and fast-paced fun. Run, jump, shoot, and fly on a huge adventure with 8-bit and 16-bit flavors!’
According to Namu Wiki, the basic story is that the doctor prevents Mimi from using her species and the red flower to rule the world, while the robot protagonist wakes up in a cave with no memory and overcomes various dangers. Play time is not long, about 5-7 hours.
The difficulty level of the game is not difficult. It requires memorization of the pattern, but it is said that clearing it is not difficult if you just memorize it. When going to the true ending route, the last stage can perform a time attack, and if the time attack is successful, the music and character on the title screen change.
The open critical rating is 88 points, which is hard to believe for an indie game developed by one person. In particular, the 3DS version has a meta score of 93 points.
