The Cave: 'a pleasure to play'.
Gaming has very few genuine legends – Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto comes to mind – but Ron Gilbert, creator of the Monkey Island games, is one. So the arrival of his latest, The Cave (Double Fine, iOS, £2.99) should be cause for celebration.
A favourite at E3 in 2012, it's finally made it to mobiles. A platform-puzzler in the style of the aforementioned simian series, it gives you control of three adventurers (there's a choice of seven) as they journey into the Cave.Each has their own skills and back stories, opening up character-specific sections – for example the creepy young twins can access a ghostly house. This motley crew must then be used in tandem to solve puzzles and progress further into the abyss.
The puzzles will be familiar in style to any Gilbert fans and the typical wit is in place, especially in the disembodied voice of the eponymous cave, commenting snarkily on the action. Tasks can sometimes be a little simplistic, but it's the tone and style, along with the lush visuals, which make it a pleasure to play.
Sadly, the touchscreen controls are poor and often have characters plunging to painful, repetitive deaths. However, if you can get over those niggles it's a joy.
