The way to find health capsules, missile upgrades, new weapons, and story items feels especially great, making Cave Story feel a lot like Metroid, one of Cave Story's inspirations. All the keys respond well to button inputs and it feels natural for a PC platform game. The graphics make the game a retro gamer's dream come true. The soundtrack is great and memorable, and the gameplay is the most unique that I have ever played. The plot is amazing thanks to the well-crafted characters and presentation. This 2004 freeware game manages to excel in nearly every category it's in. The plot is amazing thanks to the well-crafted Cave Story for PC.
