So I won this game in one of Tom’s Patreon giveaways. I figured I’d give it a go this weekend, I like cats and rpgs, and it turns out it is just fantastic. It’s better than Skyrim, Dragons Dogma, and Darksouls 1/2/3! (Your level of fun compaired to the games I just mentioned may vary.)
A light RPG with cats and puns and magic and Dragons!
It is good! The feeling of movement and combat on the map is similar to Don’t Starve, and the game can be punishing, I have died 3 times in the first hour. Dodge roll is your friend! Oh … And The Deep Forest has warning signs for a reason!
I did! I liked what I saw. I did range a fair bit on the map and I spelunked several of the dungeons, including testing the waters in dungeons that were above my level to see what kind of stuff was down there.
It’s got a really good combat system, too. I liked how my cat spells developed in the short time I played, and there seemed to be a lot of potential for character progression and different types of attacks down the line.
But I stopped playing because something else grabbed my attention, not because I lost interest. It’s one of those games where I think “I should get back to that sometime…”
It’s good (especially as a mobile game, which is how I played it), but it’s not great. The writing is nowhere near as funny as it thinks it is, the gear system is frustratingly random and not especially interesting, and the quests all basically amount to go-there-and-kill-stuff. Like I say, good fun for a mobile game, but I don’t see any reason to play this on a PC when better ARPGs are available.
This is very fun, but also very light. This would be a terriffic intro to arpgs for younger players or for anyone that doesn’t want to think too hard about skill combos, gear, etc. the touch controls are great, though it can occasionally be difficult to trigger a skill in the middle of a crowd of enemies.
Can someone please rebuild Planescape: Torment, Skyrim, and Fallout with this kind of map navigation and combat, please? They’d be so much more fun to play. I love this game!
