Cave Story is the proverbial “diamond in the rough.” It’s a free game that has more action, challenge, and charm than a lot of the titles sitting on our store shelves. When compared to any of the other games on the market, I feel that it deserves the same recognition as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, two titles that garner perfect ratings. It’s a testament to aspiring developers that if you have the time, resolve, heart, and a little bit of talent…you can make a game that will stand the test of time.

All in all, Doukutsu is a charming gem which you can just play over and over. The atmosphere created by perfectly matching graphics, music and story while the gameplay stays as simple as it can get makes this game into one everybody can enjoy, no matter how young or old, game master or first-time gamer.

Games like Cave Story remind us that there are many independent developers out there with a desire to create great games that equals our love of playing them.

All in all, Doukutsu Monogatari is just shy of flawless execution. The game takes the best of current gaming sensibilities and applies it to a tried and true format. The game looks great, plays great and sounds great, therefore it IS great. The fact that the game is free is basically moot. I’d drop $25 for this game without batting an eyelash. I’d say it’s not for everyone, but I really only mean it’s not for people that don’t like this genre of game, and well, that’s true of all games. There’s virtually no reason for a gamer to not download this title immediately.
