Solid game, a categorical RPG quick romp
(PC review) Cat Quest simplifies the RPG mechanics down to its core -- fetch quest, kill all the baddies, get random loot, level-up, repeat. You'd think it would get boring but the cat-puns are fresh and the dialogue knows when to be tongue-in-cheek. The action combat is similarly refreshingly simple, it's Attack, Magic, and Dodge, the controls feel tight and fast. Strongly recommend playing this on a gamepad attached to your PC (Logitech F310 worked great with the default config). The enemies get a little bit familiar, firmly tied to their magical attack pattern, but that just means you get to slip into the war dance rhythm. The art style is gorgeous and bright, energetic and just fun. Crisp lines, deliberate animation design. Each creature, landmark and NPC has its own character. Some NPCs are borrowed but most are fresh or at least remixed. Cons: There’s a touch of grinding when you hit a cave that’s harder than you expected and you want to level up your magic. I recommend trying out all the different magic spells and find a few different ones to get comfortable with, as the first fireball attack doesn’t level enough to carry you to the end of the game. Another con is that all loot pickups, even the “store” is all RNG and there didn’t seem to be a way to sell or even trash your unused gear (you just have an infinitely big sortable inventory). In some ways this is “the simplest inventory system you could possibly design”, and in Cat Quest’s pursuit of elegant simplicity this is almost forgivable, but awkward. Story was solid in the beginning, went a bit confusing with the final boss fight, but had a nice happy resolution in my opinion. In all, I had a lot of fun with this game, the controls were tight and fun, and the dungeon fights kept me on my toes (but in a relaxed way, if that makes sense). 4-6 hours of entertainment. Perfect for kids. Worth it, if only to see “here’s what an elegantly simple fun action RPG looks like”. Probably low replayability.
