Review

NXEngine Evo is a complete open-source clone/rewrite of the masterpiece jump-and-run platformer Doukutsu Monogatari (also known as Cave Story) created by Studio Pixel (https://studiopixel.jp). NXEngine Evo is an upgraded/refactored version of NXEngine by Caitlin Shaw (http://nxengine.sourceforge.net).

Default controls (can be changed):

• Arrow keys to move
• Z Jump
• X Fire
• A Select previous weapon
• S Select next weapon
• Q Inventory
• W Map (only available after you’ve obtained the item in-game)
• Pause Escape

The game also supports joysticks.

Game Settings:

• You can select the desired screen resolution;
• Enable/disable full-screen mode;
• Turn on/off music and sounds.

Differences from the original version of NXEngine:

• Port to SDL2 (thanks to PIlin)
• More resolutions and proper widescreen support up to Full HD (thanks to EXL)
• Animated character portraits
• Modern main menu
• Credits graphics specific to the Mimiga Mask ending
• Localization support
• Force feedback support
• Custom soundtrack support
• Initial mod support
• Vita/Switch versions
• Cleaner and partly-refactored code
• Tons of gameplay-related bugfixes
• Removed built-in data extractor
• Removed replays, as they were buggy/not implemented anyway
