Cave Story+ is the newest indie title to launch on the Nintendo Switch, a platform that?s actually represented indie developers pretty well so far, thanks in part to publisher Nicalis. If you?re not familiar with Cave Story, it?s a Metroidvania style game that was first released in 2004 for PC, developed by one guy, Daisuke Amaya, who clearly poured a lot of love into those original diminutive sprites. The game has been ported a number of times since then, mostly to Nintendo platforms, so needless to say it feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch.
The onset of the game drops you into the role of a small, pixelated protagonist with no name. You?ll quickly encounter a bit of danger before discovering your first weapon, which will in turn let you break through a small barrier, at which point you?ll expose yourself to a much larger world to explore. From there you?ll meet the somewhat angry, oppressed race of rabbit creatures that inhabit the game, start chasing after a missing girl, and come across some solid boss fights while checking out a variety of areas. There are new weapons to acquire, heart containers to expand, and a whole lot of jumping around. It?s one of the earliest indie Metroidvania titles out there, but it?s also one of the best. If you?ve never experienced Cave Story, you?ll definitely be in for a treat.
