This is on sale for under $6 on the Nintendo eShop for switch right now.
Awe yes! Pawtner up in Cat Quest 2, on September 24th!
Nice! I’ll definitely be grabbing the new one. I had a lot of fun playing through the first game on PS4.
This thing has come out of nowhere to completely eat my Saturday. What a fun, light, funny little game - I didn’t know how much I needed it.
Glad to hear you both enjoying it!
2nd game has been released!
Why is there a dog in this game? I have been misled.
This anti-dog agenda is impawerable. It’s about time those two started getting along.
I don’t think I’d even heard of the first game, but the second one is on Apple Arcade so I spent a few minutes with it last night. I like it so far; I wonder how the touch controls will hold up. Do you end up needing to do anything complicated?
Games like this are on Apple Arcade? So it’s a phone/tablet game? Or is it on the Mac? Is the Mac still a thing? Or does Apple Arcade also have PC games?
How could this possibly be playable on a touch screen? It’s all about ducking in, firing off a few hits and a spell or two, then dodging out. That’s three or four different buttons on a controller.
Must be meow-gic.
I’ve just played the tutorial and one quest. You tap somewhere to move, you tap an enemy to auto-attack, you double-tap (anywhere) to dodge away from an enemy. Tap your character and hold to bring up the magic spells.
That’s going to be lethal later, there’s no time for a hold when casting attack spells in most cases.
Apple Arcade is out on iPhones now, will be supported on iPads later today with iOS 13.1, comes to Apple TV when the latest tvOS drops at the end of the month, and will be on MacOS too (can’t remember the date on that).
As far as I can tell, all arcade games will be available on all of those platforms. I think that’s going to mean we’ll get games that feel like mobile games but you’re playing them on a computer, as well as games that really need at least a game pad to play but we’re using touch controls on our phone. And probably games all along the spectrum between those platforms.
So far Cat Quest 2 is fine with touch, but I don’t know how complicated the combat gets.
It seems to paws pause while you’ve got the menu up.
Wow. OK, so that’s just a dramatic difference in pacing then.
One of the things I really like about the PC version is how responsive the controls are. The combat feels surprisingly good, quick but not overwhelming.
Worked great in the first game.
I played the first game on an iPod. It was fine. I’m sure it would have been better with proper controls but it was totally playable.
Having tried with aps4 controller today, I must say I prefer the touch controls by a comfortable margin. Having to press repeatedly to attack is a problem.
