![]() ![]() Even the real-time combat is engaging enough to keep all the cutesy kitten talk from dulling down the experience.Ĭat Quest is full of meows and purrs, but it is really a fully fleshed-out RPG underneath all the cat puns. The Gentlebros did actually look to Dragon Quest for inspiration for this attractive dungeon crawler, and the team didn’t skimp when it came to cat-ifying the fantastical land of Felingard.īeneath the overlay of cat fanaticism is a clever RPG with character progression and quite a bit of exploration across a detailed open world. Picture Dragon Quest, but remove everything and replace it all with feline characters and cat references. Still, if you love felines, you’re going to want to get lost in the antics of crafty little Gato Roboto.ĭeveloper: The Gentlebros Publisher: PQube Platform(s): PC, PS4, Switch, iOS, Android ![]() It parallels Stray in that both games feature cats and robots, but they couldn’t be any more different when it comes to gameplay. The old-school black-and-white color scheme can make it difficult to follow the action onscreen, but also serves to appeal to players that love the nostalgia of classic side-scrollers. This stylistic and chaotic romp sends a battle-hardened kitten into a frantic firefight against animal-controlled robots and all manner of mechanical oddities. Then we remembered three years ago, Devolver Digital released Gato Roboto, a fast-paced Metroidvania that’s literally about a cat in a mech suit. We thought Stray would be the coolest cat-themed game for quite a long time. The game is strange, but you can’t hold that against it when that strangeness winds up being mostly entertaining.ĭeveloper: Doinksoft Publisher: Devolver Digital Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Switch To survive in this animal-run world, you’ll need to master stealth mechanics, like hiding in a cardboard box – and no, we’re not kidding – and chow down on your fellow four-legged friends. Unless the idea of fighting other animals and turning them into food upsets you, then you’re going to hate it. Tokyo Jungle is an insane concept that boggles the mind, but you’re going to have fun with it. After mankind became extinct, space opened up for a new dominant species, and everything from passive herbivores to ravenous carnivores has been vying to fill it. Tokyo Jungle answers the question, “What happens if you transfer Solid Snake’s consciousness into a deer fawn?” In this very unique stealth adventure, players take control of a variety of different beasts, ranging from tiny Pomeranians to a Dilophosaurus, to fight for supremacy in a world without humans. Dog’s Life’s American Foxhound, Jake, gets to play urination minigames and think of quips while “collecting” scents.ĭon’t get us wrong, Dog’s Life is a lot of fun for what it is, especially if you like to test your skills in various minigames.ĭeveloper: Crispy’s Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Platform(s): PS3 For instance, Stray’s cat gets to duke it out with squirmy mutants with the help of an AI companion. However, we will say, if you enjoyed Stray, you should get a kick out of kickin’ it like a pupper in Dog’s Life.ĭogs are often stereotyped as being a bit dopier than cats, and it shows in A Dog’s Life. We won’t spoil anything about A Dog’s Life’s story, except that it’s far more bonkers than we expected. It’s because they may seem like an innocent tale of a dog rescuing his crush, but really there’s some underlying horrors unraveling that would make Cruella de Vil blush. Some games just leave you wide-eyed and speechless, but not because they’re overly terrible or astonishingly good. Developer: Frontier Developments Publisher: Hip Games Platform(s): PS2 ![]()
