There’s a lot to love about Cat Quest, most of all perhaps its familiarity. That trait feels more like a blessing than the death knell that it is for a lot of other games, and it’s evident that this is a game with a lot of heart. It’s a bit like eating comfort food – there’s no pretentiousness in the execution, and each bite has an expected outcome but most importantly, you know it’s going to be delicious. The Gentlebros isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel here, and the game is better off for it. Having a lovable cast of characters along with a story designed to hit all the right…
I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with a game titled Cat Quest. I had briefly heard about the game through a few gaming podcasts and needed something to fill my time on my Nintendo Switch before I dived headfirst into Xenoblade Chronicles 2. At just $15, I figured why not.
Despite a few drawbacks, this light RPG hides a challenging and worthwhile experience under its cute exterior.
Cat Quest isn’t perfect, not by any means, but it’s a good old-fashioned action RPG that understands the value of keeping the player busy and not interrupting what’s important – the action. You’ll get the sense of deja vu frequently as you enter yet another cave that looks essentially the same as the last, or take on another quest that demands you trail a missing shipment or whatever, but you know that it’ll be over in five minutes and you’ll get a nice reward for your efforts so you soldier on. Seven hours or so after starting your adventure the main quest will be over, but it speaks volumes that you’ll probably still want to go and explore the world and grow stronger still. It’s not because Cat Quest is deep or meaningful, it’s because it’s just fun, and that’s all a game needs to be.
Cat Quest is a 2D action-RPG featuring real-time combat set in the vast open-world of Felingard.
All in all, you could do a whole lot worse than Cat Quest if you’re in the mood for a lighthearted RPG adventure. If you’re looking for something with a little more teeth and a little less purring, that’s what Skyrim or Zelda are for. Cat Quest is made with love, joy, and a sense of humor that’s too often forgotten in games. It’ll last you a handful of hours and has a decent amount of replayability in New Game+ and the Mew Game (additional challenge modifiers). Definitely worth a lo...
Putting a whole lot of cat puns is a sure way to make any game interesting, but in a case of Cat Quest, it's only a bonus to its incredibly engaging gameplay.
You wouldn't expect an epic action RPG adventure to star an adorable kitty. Cat Quest may look cute but it boasts an addictive campaign that'll gradually transform you from a harmless kitten to a fierce feline warrior.
Cat Quest is definitely good fun for a few hours and can be quite humorous, but a lack of depth to the basic gameplay loop means it gets repetitive and it’s easy to lose interest. Once you reach that point, tolerance for cat puns wears thin and the bright, cheerful aesthetic, while nicely realised and attractive enough, isn’t enough to keep people coming back. The only thing left to look forward to is the quirky side quests, which can be written well enough but again, are based around cat puns.
But the map and the combat issues don’t take away that much from the quick pace and good humor of Cat Quest. This is a game that is aware of its goofy setup and relishes in a sea of cat puns and insanity. It’s not a terribly long game - I rolled credits within a few hours - but it’s a fun romp with a straightforward and entertaining action RPG style. Cat Quest is a game that likely won’t stick with me for too long, but it was a pleasant time basking in cat gags and beating up on foes with swords and magic.
Without straying into spoiler territory, I also felt that the ending lacked a quarter-measure of closure on my first pass. An unexpectedly sentimental conclusion sacrifices a plot thread to get there, and the final moments felt like they were leading somewhere more. Perhaps, as talk of mice pirates and dog empires suggests, there’s more to come, one day.
A cute hack-and-slash RPG with a lot of charm that falls short of the mark thanks to its inescapable tedium.
