You can also switch between characters with the press of a button, so if you go into a big fight thinking that long-range is the way to go and find out that it isn’t, you can easily just swap characters and try the battle from short-range without having to die and reload your save to find out the hard way.Ĭat Quest II keeps combat easy to learn, but harder to master. Having two characters on-screen at once works well because the AI-controlled ally actually has a brain and will go to attack or heal whenever possible. The sequels ups the ante not only in the kinds of combat you can do, but in how you approach tougher battles. The first gave you a steady progression in difficulty, but its formula never truly changed. This results in a far more rewarding experience than the first game - even in its earliest goings. If everything works out perfectly, you will land a shot from afar while your ally attacks close-up or vice versa. Instead of being able to turn your brain off and slash, you need to plan every movement to evade enemies and then attack them. This means that you will have to get better at the core game - mainly defense, to survive, let alone excel. While you do gain a lot of range and therefore freedom with a ranged attack setup, your HP is halved. This magic allows you to play the game as almost an isometric Mega Man, as you can do a lot of damage from afar - but at a cost. While you do only start off with a short-range sword, you quickly get more powerful variants of bladed weapons alongside long-range magic. You can play the game the same as before and just slice and dice, but now, you can make one character an up-close brawler and the other a long-range spellcaster or ranged weapon user. Now, with two characters to switch between, your strategy changes completely. In an action game like this, that isn’t the most exciting as you needed to evade more than attack and it led to things being too repetitious. The original was hurt by only having a sword and it resulted in you needing to stick and move more.
Beyond playing as just a cat, you can also play a a dog - which is largely just a visual difference on the surface, but it goes so much deeper in the core game. Instead of playing as a king cat (aren’t they all) out to find his sister, you now have the ability to switch between two characters. The sequel features some of the first game’s characters and changes up things just enough to keep things fresh while also making things accessible to newcomers.
REVIEW CAT QUEST II PC
While it was released on just about everything, it fit in perfectly on the Switch and to a lesser extent on mobile, where the smaller scale of the adventure worked nicely even if the controls weren’t exactly on-par with the console and PC versions. Dungeons were bite-sized and allowed for players to get things done in a small timeframe. Its action RPG mechanics were addictive and the dungeon-crawling aspect of it was done just about perfectly.
The humor was pun heavy while the combat was fast and allowed you to quickly pick up the core mechanics while still rewarding higher-level play. Starring a cat that needed to save his sister, it combined adorable felines with action RPG mechanics and a touch of dungeon crawling and comedy.
Although, it can become frustrating to have a stark contrast between enemies your level and, a mere few steps away, having higher-tier levels immediately cut you down.The original Cat Quest hit two years ago on just about everything and offered up something new. With some being weak to elements such as lightning or ice attacks, it can be a challenging fight to withstand if you lack the proper tools. Even enemies matched to you can pose a threat if not properly equipped. An early game area has enemies of level 90 upwards, which means exploration must be proceeded with caution. All enemies have a level above their heads and taking on any that are substantially above your level can be suicide. Though the world may look cute, it can quickly turn sour, depending on your level. Within an hour’s worth of play, you could very well have changed your character multiple times as loot can be found in every dungeon across the larger than life world. Much like Diablo, chests drop loot of varying power that can be instantly equipped through a simple inventory menu. The choice of combat styles extends to the game’s weapon and magic system, which rapidly grows more extensive as you explore.
