![]() ![]() Within an hour’s worth of play, you could very well have changed your character multiple times as loot can be found in every dungeon across the larger than life world. Much like Diablo, chests drop loot of varying power that can be instantly equipped through a simple inventory menu. Although Cat Quest is available on all those platforms, the Switch version is seamless and is definitely worth the $12.99.The choice of combat styles extends to the game’s weapon and magic system, which rapidly grows more extensive as you explore. Personally, I’d say the Switch is the perfect platform for games similar to Cat Quest because it is not too simple that it should be played on a smartphone, but not too complicated that its better on a traditional home console or a PC. The Gentlebros made a wise decision to port their mobile game on the Switch. The stunning visuals and catchy soundtrack complements the solid combat system and the huge content will take hours to complete, that it even becomes impossible to put the Switch down. I mean, he’s already speaking for the hero when they talk to the “peasants” (the game’s NPCs), enough is enough! VerdictĪll in all, Cat Quest may not have the most unique storyline, but its self-awareness and clever dialogue brings its own unique perspective on a classic RPG plot. There are times when he turns psychopathic whenever I enter dungeons as he will constantly yell “Kill all bandits!” or “Destroy All Monsters", I mean I guess that’s okay for the first few times, but its annoying when the game has to pause so that he can tell me exactly what we have been doing the entire game.Ĭat Quest would be better if they made Spirry a helpful companion by just giving the hero clues here and there on how to complete quests and let the player piece it together instead of barking obvious instructions like a tyrant. Whenever I try to complete a side quest, Spirry would literally tell me the steps I have to do to complete it. However, my only complaint is that Spirry tends to become like an annoying GPS to the player. The game itself is fun and has entertained me for hours during commutes and quiet nights at home. ![]() Of course, the open-world setting can give players the ability to do the side quests in different order, and maybe challenge them to embark on quests and dungeons that are way above their current level, but in the end, it will all be the same. There are no difficulty options, no choices that would alter the game’s story, and the ending will be the same no matter how you play it. ![]() There is little motivation from the game to encourage players for a second play through. It took me a while to get used to the combat mechanics, but once I got the hang of it, battling multiple enemies is a fun combination of melee attacks, spell casting, and dodging. An area of effect is visible when an enemy is casting, which is represented by a circle or a line that the player can dodge to evade attacks. The enemies in the game can also cast spells on the player. The fun thing about the mana system here is that it will regenerate once you land melee attacks on enemies, so using both combat options will definitely make battles easier and more engaging The melee attack can be spammed and is the basic mode of attack, on the other hand, spells are limited and needs a certain amount of mana to cast. The combat system in Cat Quest is pure fun! The hero has a melee attack and can learn different spells that has various effects and ranges. ![]() The world you play in is presented on a zoomed out isometric view of the map that may not be everyone’s cup of tea but works well in this game. "Catpital Lake", "Mew Town", "Bermewda Triangle?" I mean personally I’m a dog person but I still found these hilarious that definitely adds to the game’s unique charm. Cat lovers will also like the tons, and I say tons of cat puns all around the game. One of the good things I discovered as I traversed the land of Felingard, is the game’s ability to be satirical and self-aware as they poke fun on how generic the villain of the game is. This is where Cat Quest’s inspiration from other RPG games comes to light as you play a hero who doesn’t speak and you are guided by a blue orb spirit, which is a very familiar concept that I’ll leave for you to figure out. As you may have already guessed, the mark that appeared on our cat hero is the symbol of the dragon blood. As the game starts, Spirry informs the hero that the land is again ravaged by Dragons that only a true dragon blood, a nearly extinct race of superhero cats who once fought dragons off the land, can defeat. He is then washed up on the shores of Felingard and is awoken by a cat spirit known as Spirry who will serve as the hero’s companion throughout the game. The hero finds himself being attacked by Drakoth and is left for dead when a mysterious mark appeared behind his head. ![]()
