Cave Story or Doukutsu Monogatari is the critically acclaimed opus by indie game developer Pixel, originally created as a tribute to games like Metroid and Castlevania. Cave Story is a 2D platformer in the "metroidvania" tradition, with a classic, world-saving hero and an emphasis on exploration and discovery.
The AROS version is a port of NXEngine, a complete GPL open-source clone/rewrite of Cave Story. The english translated version of the game data is included, which is done by Aeon Genesis Translations. If you wish to play in another language, download a different localized version, and overwrite "Doukutsu.exe" and the contents of the "data" directory before starting the game the first time.
