Cave's exploring review!

Translated :
Sgoth : "That cave seems pretty dangerous..."
"Mmh~"
"PERFECT! This maid's outfit is made for cave's exploring!"

Now, to the review

The Maid-san's Caving Adventure for XBLA also nicknamed as "The Cave Story of Xbla"

Story :
You take the control of a maid... presumably named Maid-san which woke up in a dark cave, it's up to you to help her!

Kind of game :
It's an interesting mixture between platforming and stealth, yes stealth as close to Metal Gear, since the game has two main objectives, get out of the cave and not getting noticed by the Penus(a species of Trolls or gnomes) or else they'll beat the hell out of you(thankfully! I'll explain how in the gameplay.

Gameplay :
The gameplay is pretty good Maid-san moves pretty well, but her jump is a little too high and a little stiff since she'll barely move to a direction, but you can get used to it. She can also swim... as jumping ,yep, kinda like Sonic Colors, but less reponsive and no bubble to breath (if you stay too long underwater without drowning, the sneeze meter will rise and the moment Maid-san get out, she'll sneeze and may get noticied by the Penus). Thankfully, she has a skill which is... to crouch and tremble... kinda like Snake with his famous box, but the difference is if you crouch, the screen get darker and only Maid-san will be enlightened which means that you CAN'T clearly see where are the penus... add some challenge.
Also, the environment change and get harder each time.

My verdict :
If you like maid and cave exploring, buy it, it's only 1,00 $ on Xbla
