Cave Story

What this episode covers

The one-man metroidvania masterpiece by Daisuke “Pixel” Amaya, known as Cave Story was an early front runner to the indie gaming movement. When it came out in 2004, the indie gaming scene was still in its infancy compared to what we have now. With Cave Story’s interesting combat mechanics, solid writing, and extremely catchy music, Pixel taught a generation of game developers and fans that making games on a one-person scale was not just possible, but could produce an experience rivaling any game that larger studios were putting out. Join us as we discover what keeps this indie classic relevant even 15 years after its release. Three word reviews: Clint: Missed the boat Bryan: One man masterpiece Josh: Old School Scene
