Cave Story+

Critic RatingAbout
A young amnesiac hero discovers a hidden land and vows to protect the defenseless creatures who live there! Can he stop the mad doctor and learn the truth about his own past? Highly polished and addictive, Cave Story+ uses retro-game stylings to deliver an all-out action/adventure extravaganza that’s both charming and deadly!
Storyline
You wake up in a dark cave with no memory of who you are, where you came from or why you're in such a place. Uncovering Mimiga Village you discover that the once-carefree Mimigas are in danger at the hands of a maniacal scientist. The Mimigas’ only hope rest squarely on the shoulders of a quiet, amnesiac boy who can't remember his own name.
