It might not be a satisfying experience for seasoned vets, but Cat Quest II is recommended for anyone seeking a bite-sized, straight shooting, heartwarming adventure. It’s clear The Gentlebros studio has intentionally iterated on their approachable ARPG, and they’ve accomplished that goal with polished gameplay elements that hang together tightly. If it sounds like I’m bemoaning Cat Quest’s simplicity, let me be clear in saying that its straightforward nature works in its favor. While approachability on all levels is in some ways an admirable goal, there were a few times during Cat Quest II when I found myself wishing for a little more complexity - the devs do introduce more spells and two new weapon types beyond what the original offered, but it still doesn’t quite feel like enough. Approachability seems highly valued here, so players who crave more challenging material may be put off by the simple narrative. There are exactly no curveballs in the story, which feels by design. Unsurprisingly, this ends with fighting an ancient evil and defeating it with the power of friendship. Two warring kingdoms are fighting over a mystical sword holding ultimate power, so the main characters set out to stop the war and save the world. The storyline of Cat Quest II is as classic as classic gets.
REVIEW CAT QUEST II FULL
While exploring the overworld, players find dungeons full of treasure littering the map. Enemies always forecast their attacks with an area-of-effect marker before making a move. Players fight monsters with melee or magic and use a dodge roll to avoid danger. Mechanically, Cat Quest II presents all the fundamental elements of a modern-day ARPG in a simple package. In fact, the cadence of Cat Quest II reminds me a bit of a child’s cartoon show (in a good way) and I was always smiling at the end of a quest. Even quests that involve combat against enemy cats and dogs usually end in the foes apologizing for being jerks, and it’s 100% happy endings throughout.
REVIEW CAT QUEST II CRACK
Characters frequently crack animal puns and the dorkiest jokes imaginable with complete earnestness. ‘Heart-warming’ defines the core of the aesthetic, from the world map painted in (mostly) soft pastels, to cartoon animals moving with hero-like purpose. This sequel carries all of those ideas forward, and adds a couple of minor twists. Paring down the RPG and action elements to the absolute basics, it made for a bite-sized experience enjoyable by players of virtually any ability level, and a layer of light-hearted humor was draped over the whole experience. If you’re short on time and need this review in a nutshell, Cat Quest II delivers more of everything the first installment gave players – animal puns, cutesy character models, and traditional RPG quest structure.įor those who have a few minutes or are new to Cat Quest, the original was a simplistic Action-RPG where players controlled a cat warrior questing to save a magical kingdom.

HIGH cute cartoon animals in medieval armor.
