What'd be a lot more fun would be a system where you 'discover' a town by walking past it (with an XP bonus for doing so), and then when you die you reappear at the nearest town you'd discovered.Īll Cat Quest has to offer is the same one tiny, slightly unfair-seeming battle repeated forever. My favourite part was when I died the first time to that dragon on the water and reappeared at a town on the other side of the world because I couldn't be bothered to flop at any of the towns I'd passed along the way. There's no gradually spreading storm clouds, or ominous music when I trespass into forbidden areas. As it is, it's just a blank repeating expanse of green. I feel like the world ought to be changing as I complete the main quest so that I know I'm making progress. But Orange Cat is the last Dragonblood, so he has to do everything on his boring lonesome, it seems.Īccording to the achievements page, I've completed half of the main quest and a quarter of all the side quests. I get that it's not the style of game where you get a party, but it could've done the Castlevania thing with you crossing paths with other people on quests like yours, having a bit of a chat with them, then moving on. There's maybe six characters in the game, at least if the title screen is anything to go by, and I've met them all already. An action RPG with cute cats, bright colours and happy music ought to be overflowing with awesome, memorable characters. Unlike Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space, you don't even get to choose the fur colour of your cat.

Every character was a cat, yet it felt like there were hardly any cats in the game. I feel like a game named Cat Quest should be more about the cats. Cat Quest is dull and frustrating and empty.

The judgment is in, and it's not a happy one. What happens next? You'll have to find out for yourself! Believe it or not, I think I'm half-way through the game already. If you find yourself obscured by the dragon, get the heck out of there! That fancy arrow under the enemy is the range of the spell he's about to cast. This fight was probably my favourite so far: plenty of room to dodge, and I'm not staring at a bright green backdrop.
