I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with a game titled Cat Quest. I had briefly heard about the game through a few gaming podcasts and needed something to fill my time on my Nintendo Switch before I dived headfirst into Xenoblade Chronicles 2. At just $15, I figured why not.

Despite a few drawbacks, this light RPG hides a challenging and worthwhile experience under its cute exterior.

Despite my issues with the game, I did ultimately enjoy Cat Quest. Its brevity actually works in its favor, making the issues outlined above feel less egregious than they would if the game were longer. I still wish the story wasn’t quite so bland and the gameplay wasn’t as repetitive, but I also find myself wanting to jump back in to finish the handful of side quests I have left, so the game definitely does something right. If you just want to kill monsters as an adorable cat and experience as many cat puns as possible, Cat Quest may be the game for you! It’s available now on Steam and i…

All in all, you could do a whole lot worse than Cat Quest if you’re in the mood for a lighthearted RPG adventure. If you’re looking for something with a little more teeth and a little less purring, that’s what Skyrim or Zelda are for. Cat Quest is made with love, joy, and a sense of humor that’s too often forgotten in games. It’ll last you a handful of hours and has a decent amount of replayability in New Game+ and the Mew Game (additional challenge modifiers). Definitely worth a lo...

You wouldn't expect an epic action RPG adventure to star an adorable kitty. Cat Quest may look cute but it boasts an addictive campaign that'll gradually transform you from a harmless kitten to a fierce feline warrior.

Cat Quest is definitely good fun for a few hours and can be quite humorous, but a lack of depth to the basic gameplay loop means it gets repetitive and it’s easy to lose interest.  Once you reach that point, tolerance for cat puns wears thin and the bright, cheerful aesthetic, while nicely realised and attractive enough, isn’t enough to keep people coming back. The only thing left to look forward to is the quirky side quests, which can be written well enough but again, are based around cat puns.

This is, simply put, just a fun and charming game, with a pleasant soundtrack, interesting lore, and so many cat-related puns you can't help but chuckle while you play. And the cute charm of the game more than makes up for the lack of depth, the grindiness, and the fact that the quests can get a little repetitive after a while. Cat Quest is definitely worth wasting a couple of hours on. We don't think you'll regret it.

But the map and the combat issues don’t take away that much from the quick pace and good humor of Cat Quest. This is a game that is aware of its goofy setup and relishes in a sea of cat puns and insanity. It’s not a terribly long game - I rolled credits within a few hours - but it’s a fun romp with a straightforward and entertaining action RPG style. Cat Quest is a game that likely won’t stick with me for too long, but it was a pleasant time basking in cat gags and beating up on foes with swords and magic.

6.5/10

A cute hack-and-slash RPG with a lot of charm that falls short of the mark thanks to its inescapable tedium.
