Use caution
Cave Story is a charming indie adventure game with a compelling storyline and moderate combat violence involving shooting enemies. The darker themes and occasional scary moments make it better suited for children ages 10+. It's a single-player game with no inappropriate language or sexual content, though some children may find certain story elements emotionally heavy.
