Epic Games Store Makes One of the Best Indie Games Ever Free
What's Free on the Epic Games Store This Week?
Beginning today, August 31, and lasting until September 7, Cave Story+ is free to own in perpetuity on the Epic Games Store. Originally released all the way back in 2004, the original Cave Story went on to become one of the first major indie titles to come about and helped establish the burgeoning market. Since then, it has been re-released as Cave Story+, which features various improvements that weren't seen in the first version of the title. Despite being somewhat dated by this point, Cave Story is still looked back upon fondly by many and boasts an impressive 89/100 aggregate score on Metacritic.
In short, Cave Story is a 2D Metroidvania that is meant to harken back to titles from the NES and SNES era. The game is very fast-paced and gives players the ability to use a variety of different weapons to take down foes. Given that this is a Metroidvania game, Cave Story has quite a bit in common with franchises such as Metroid and Castlevania. As such, those who are fans of these games should definitely look to give Cave Story a shot if they haven't already played it.
