This week's free game from Epic is the indie classic Cave Story+

Cave Story+

Run, jump, shoot, fly and explore your way through a massive action-adventure reminiscent of classic 8- and 16-bit games.

December 3, 2020 Cave Story+ is now free to claim on the Epic Games Store.

This week's freebie from Epic is Cave Story+, the classic indie platform game from Daisuke Amaya. It's now live, so hurry on over - next week, it'll be replaced by a pair of excellent Obsidian RPGs.

In Cave Story+, you wake up in a cave with no memory of how you got there. You quickly meet the Mimigas, an innocent race of rabbit-like creatures who are being threatened by a mad scientist. It's up to you to explore the caves and figure out a way to save the Mimigas - and along the way you'll have to fight some 20 bosses across 15 different levels and find 10 unique weapons that each has its own upgrades to discover.

Cave Story+ is a re-release of the original Cave Story, and this version lets you pick between the original 320x480 graphics and the updated 'HD' version found in the WiiWare port. It also features a new English script, remastered music (as well as the original soundtrack), and six new play modes, including a boss rush.
