This places a premium on agility and long range shooting accuracy, since trudging through enemies will leave you twice as weak as other similar games. Seems simple enough, but the trick is that taking damage when attacked not only sucks your life bar, but also reduces the level of your equipped weapon.
#CAVE STORY SOUNDTRACK COMPOSER UPGRADE#
Once you acquire a gun you can upgrade it by picking up the flashing triangles that drop out of defeated enemies. One of the more outstanding aspects of Cave Story is the weapon system. Parts of Cave Story are extremely difficult (I played on Normal), but save points are frequent, and the post-death reloads are snappy, making subsequent attempts at tricky boss encounters challenging exercises in learning from mistakes, instead of frustrating retreads (though that does happen on occasion). I haven't played Super Meat Boy, but the two seem to stem from a similar school of thought about what it means to make a new old game. Sure it looks and sounds retro, but they way it actually handles is unlike any side-scrolling colleagues I can put my finger on. On that line of thought, Cave Story actually feels pretty unique. This did allow me to judge the gameplay and story more on its own merits though, and directly compare it to its latter day in-genre competition. Since Cave Story gets by a lot on its old-school charm, I felt like the nostalgic hook didn't quite grab me as I assume it did for others the soundtrack being one example. I've actually spent time playing 8 and 16-bit era titles more than anything else lately, which makes for an interesting juxtaposition. Ultimately this plays to the strengths of the game's action, which is fast and frantic, instead of the sleepy, subterranean atmosphere of cave dwelling in itself.įor most people who play games, the side-scrolling shooter/platformer, Cave Story, came at a time when it could provide a superbly constructed retro experience, serving as a welcome deviation from Call of Duty and Gears of War clones. Going in with that expectation, I ended up a little disappointed to find that the cave-yness is often downplayed in the soundtrack in favor of a wider-spanning action/adventure score. This had me extra excited for Cave Story, as I imagined a boatload of variations on cave tunes I'd looked into previously. The eerie ambiance has been handled in many different ways over time, each composer setting the correct mood for the cave level from an individual game.
