That’s why I consider co-op to be the best way to enjoy this game. often died and didn’t know when to use the right spells. One of my frustrations about playing solo was that the companion A.I. Let’s talk about what every fan of the first game and every parent reading this review wants to know: how’s the co-op? In a muttshell, it’s pretty damn fun. It’s not too bad of a deal because you get a decent amount of EXP, good loot, and most importantly, more puns. Fortunately, quests that you get from the kittizens and pupfolk will rarely take more than 10 minutes to complete. A very simple system but it works.īeing an RPG, it’s only appropriate for Cat Quest II to be littered with sidequests and due to how mechanically simple the game is, 90% of them are just fetch (boy, fetch!) quests. Wielding a staff means you regenerate mana quicker and some staffs even have healing bonuses, so you naturally become the support and healer. Whoever equips a melee weapon will become the tank and melee DPS because their higher attack stat gives them more health. This item-stat relation makes it easier for non-RPG fans to enjoy the game. Health is tied to attack while magic damage and mana regeneration are tied to magic. There are only three main stats in the game: attack, magic, and defense. Growth and progress in Cat Quest II are more about managing your equipment rather than min-maxing stats. The challenge comes from learning the attack patterns of different enemies.Ī lot of basic enemy attacks are telegraphed through a red circle that indicates where they’ll hit while enemies who can cast spells will form more elaborate danger zones. You’re expected to fully use only three actions in battle: attack, dodge, and cast spells. I would describe the RPG gameplay of Cat Quest II as “simple but not easy”. If you loved the cat puns in the first game, then you’ll love this game even more because now they have dog puns too! The game’s developer The Gentlebros really knows how to throw their fans a bone. On the plus side, every moment I wasn’t playing the game had me feeling excited to see what other cat and dog puns were waiting to be discovered through the game’s dialogue. The main storyline does have its fair share of twists and turns, but don’t expect it to provide you that “Oh I can’t wait to see what’s next” level of motivation. In Cat Quest II, you’re put in the paws of two ancient kings, one cat and one dog, who have been revived to reclaim their thrones from oppressive usurpers. There are a few refurrences here and there but not getting them won’t ruin your experience. The Purremiseįirst of all, let it be known that you don’t need to have any knowledge of the first game to enjoy this sequel. Cat Quest II is definitely family-friendly but it does pose a sensible level of challenge. Genre: Light role pawing action with drop-in and drop-out co-op.Īs someone who never played the first Cat Quest, I went into this game thinking it was going to be just another very easy family-friendly lite-RPG that would be suitable for short sessions with your pups and kittens. Explore a massive world filled with monsters, dungeons and quests, as you strive to bring peace back to your kingdoms during a time of war!” So if you (like me) are more of a dog person, you may still be able to find something here worth playing.Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS Developer GentleBros has stated on their site that : “Cat Quest 2 is a fast paced open world action RPG where you play as both a cat and a dog.
