Doukutsu Monogataryi - Cave Story

Hello hello!!! Long time without an update! It's a pleasure for me to get something to post that it's really worthy for the mission of this journal.

I've been a fan of videogames for a long time, since the 8-bit times. But recently a piece of freeware has caughted my attention. Something that seems to belong here, but it's quite new in the net. I'm talking about Doukutsu Monogatari. This little jewel has the classic feeling of plataform genre games like Metroid, Megaman and Contra, yet some crazy shooting action of Gradius series, amazingly joint with RPG elements, excellent gameplay and a very good plot.

It's quite hard to describe it to new generations, but oldbies will feel very happy with this (as well as the younger ones). Recommend this with a pad, so you don't have to feel some wrist pain for playing on a keyboard, but the control it's so acurrate and responsive, that it will be the only thing that will incomodate you =3 Not for nothing the creator, Pixel, spent 5 years tweaking it to make one of the best games ever.

Multiple endings, secret areas, hidden items and challenges will keep you very busy with this game, very lenghty considering it's for free. It took me 6 hours to finish it first in the easiest path, I'll go and try for the hardest to get the true final.

So be prepared to be amazed by huge amounts of fans when this thing make an appearance on consoles next year.

Go for the Deluxe version. It's quite easier than the old patching way.
