I wasn’t particularly sure what these did at first, as, whether by design or not, Cave Story+ doesn’t do a great job at explaining anything vital that underpins the experience to you, but they steadily build an experience gauge for whichever weapon you are carrying at the time.Īs the weapon levels up, so does your damage output. The gameplay mechanic that astounded me when I realised what was happening (which seems silly considering that the game is now several years old), is that enemies that you take out may drop triangle-shaped objects. Evaluating and responding to an enemy’s attack pattern is key to your survival, with damage depleting your health meter, and, if completely sapped, will see you allowed to retry from your last save point. With a control scheme that is easy to grasp, the player will spend their time leaping around each environment blasting enemies with the weapons that they start to hoard over time. There are three difficulty settings to choose between, with Easy being recommended for first-time players, Original for those retreading old ground, and Hard, for anyone that wants to ramp up the challenge. But know that the story will continue to motivate your experience and push you through to completion, with many twists and turns catching you by surprise along the way. I wouldn’t want to ruin any more than that, especially for those, like me, that will be playing Cave Story+ for the first time. The situation only worsens when it is revealed that the Doctor plans to forcefully feed the captured Mimiga red flowers, plants that, once eaten, see them become uncontrollably violent – a side effect that he wants to use to take over the surface world. He soon learns that a Doctor has been showing up in the village to kidnap, or even kill, the Mimiga. ![]() Waking in a cave and unable to recollect how you got there, this revered action-adventure game casts players as a young hero suffering from amnesia who, after leaping over red spikes, dodging blood-sucking bats, and stealing the Polar Star gun from a snoozing gunsmith, tumbles into Mimiga Village. But now, with the suped-up Cave Story+ having seen release on Nintendo Switch, I was determined to make sure that I took the chance to set out to save the floppy-eared Mimigas. It has been on WiiWare, Nintendo DSiWare, and Nintendo 3DS, but, up until now, somehow I had never gotten around to playing Cave Story.
