Links, repository & detailsAbout
Cave Story is a 2004 Metroidvania game by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya for Windows, in which the amnesiac robot Quote explores a network of caves. NXEngine-evo is an upgraded and partly refactored version of Caitlin Shaw's NXEngine, an open-source rewrite of the Cave Story engine. It runs on Windows, Linux and macOS, with Vita and Switch versions, and needs Cave Story's data files.
How it differs from the original
Compared with the original NXEngine, it moves to SDL2 and adds widescreen resolutions up to Full HD, animated character portraits, a modern main menu, localization, force feedback, custom soundtracks, initial mod support and many gameplay bug fixes. It drops NXEngine's built-in data extractor and its buggy replay feature.
