About
Cats & Dice is a dice-building roguelike all about getting the right synergies to pull off crazy combos and attain as high a score as you possibly can.
The Cats (maneki-neko) are the mainstay of the game. Every Cat has its own passive ability that can affect how you approach a run. All Cats generate a dice unique to them at the start of each round (for instance there's a Cat that will create a dice with only four on all sides). There is no additional drawing of dice from your deck or the like. These dice are then played to get a score. Reach the target score and you'll win the round.
There are various Items that can be equipped onto the Cats you own. These Items can add onto or even alter your Cat's passive abilities. Some grant additional effects onto the Cat's dice and allow you to customize it to your liking. These Items are not permanently attached to your Cats, so feel free to experiment and change your strategy.

The dice play as important a role as your Cats. You can get bonus points out of specific combination of dice. There's a number of rerolls per round you can use to reroll specific dice until you attain the desired outcome. Some dice can also have special effects that help in various ways, from adding scoring multiplier to gaining more rerolls.

Over 90 Cats and 150 items, each with their own distinct ability that could potentially change how you approach a run.
A Boon/Bane system (akin to Boss fights) where you'll have to weigh the pros and cons of your selection.
More than 15 bonuses (unique dice combinations) that can further boost your score.
Tickets that will permanently aid your run, provided you can afford them.
More to come during early access!
Each stage of the game will ask for an increasingly higher score in order to win. Make it pass the final hurdle and you'll unlock endless mode where you can truly see how far your build can go.
The combination of Cats' passive abilities, dice effects, Items' effects and other game-changing choices you'd have to make during the course of a run makes for a deep roguelike experience with endless possibilities.

It's good! obvious comparison to Balatro but I think Cats & Dice does enough differently to stand on its own feet. For one the shop reroll starts at $1 (and doubles after each use) so it's much easier to get a build going at the start. There's also more of a focus on both your cats and dice positioning. I look forward to future updates and more content!
Good little run based game. Hoping some future updates give me a reason to pick it up again
Cats & Dice is a super fun Balatro inspired roguelike that does a lot more than just rip off Balatro. The cats have a lot of variety and depth and overall it's a super solid early access launch. More polish would be nice but super excited to see how it gets developed! https://youtu.be/Ya_m1fQHqPc
it's literally balatro with cats, i love it. this game has so much potential, I'm looking forward to future updates!
Balatro but worse
The bane (& boon) of my existence
好游戏,但是难度曲线过于不平滑,前期金币难以累积,后期金币又花不光,可以改成6金币吃1利息但是利息获取上限降低。还有就是希望能够预览最终骰面,在多次翻滚的时候计算量太大,失误惩罚又太高。
its just kind of generally bad. most of the cats dont really do anything that works towards anything, a whole archetype of play is actively incompatible with the point of the game, most of the few things that do work are only good in very specific scenarios, the game can very easily be bugged to stop players from unlocking higher difficulties and it's barely fun. the idea of getting sub modifiers to attatch to the primary modifiers is a great idea in a vacuum, but the execution is boring, swingy and also still broken a year after release.
No Streets and no Full House from the beginning. If you make a yatsy like game you better have all Bonuses from the beginning. Game is too difficult even on ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ normal mode. Its too hard to understand.
[h1]在爽和痛苦间选择与我的招财猫同生共死[/h1] [h2]游戏推荐指数:★★★★★★★★☆☆[/h2] [quote]买肯定是要买的,玩肯定是不玩的 快来关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38222893/] G胖受害者鉴赏家[/url] 让选择游戏变得更加简单[/quote] Cats & Dice,中文译名《招骰进猫》,中文译名来源未知,不过也还挺应景的,贴切又有趣的翻译。整体为马赛克画风,通过摇骰子,凑成特定的组合以提高收益,并在规定的回合中,赚取足够的资金以开启下一个阶段 [h3]一、游戏画面和音乐[/h3] 游戏画面风格是像素动画风,表现为不同的招财猫外形和小道具,受其体量和制作理念的影响,并没有留出太多的发挥空间在画面上,整体界面中规中矩,招财猫中也没有特别难看、抽象的种类,不会对玩家的眼睛和精神造成冲击。背景音乐似乎全程只有一首,与游戏风格相配合。整体而言,画面和音乐方面,做到了这个体量游戏应当做到的,并不出彩,但也不会使整体游戏不和谐。 [h3]二、游戏玩法[/h3] 游戏玩法才是这款游戏最亮眼的地方,可能一眼看过去与《小丑牌》类似,但当得分道具转到骰子上时,整体的博弈就这么产生了翻天覆地的变化,由于是六颗互相独立的骰子,而不局限于一副扑克牌,在对局过程中,互相独立的6颗骰子,与每颗骰子互相独立又关联的6个点数,都让重投过程充满了随机性。同时骰子的点数又具备其独特的点数排布,使得相似又不同的玩法带来了另一番乐趣。 游戏难度较高(对我而言),但是胡了的话真的很爽。游戏共计使用6个槽位进行记分,没个槽位的招财猫,决定该槽位骰子的点数和性质。整体玩法就是通过摆放出不同的“骰型”,提供基础分数。再通过道具和招财猫技能以及骰子的特殊附加效果提供附加值,通过达成指标赚取金币并在商店使用(它居然还有利息),使用途径大致分为:招财猫,招财猫的装备(小道具),挑战和增益。货品价值不菲,要活用挑战和增益的额外收益,冷静抉择祸与福挑战。目标就是使可以辐射周边的招财猫的收益互相联动,或是赋予骰子词条,或是装备道具。词条类型多样,赋予至骰子的有区分为点数和骰面,让整个游戏过程充满了随机性。 也拜随机性所赐,这样的游戏难度也很高,而且部分道具的设计的使用,如前文所述,骰子的词条赋予分为点数和骰面两种,前者就是很简单了,摇到几就给几这个词条。但是给骰面的增益就相对麻烦一些,而且大多数作用不大,这里面的骰面指的是给一个骰子的每一面标记序号,与其点数无关,大部分的道具又仅赋予一面,除非使用相同骰面的四叶草或双叉,不然就只有1/6的概率。游戏中的指标增长较快,经济积累方面,除了增加基础收入(仅1-2点)的招财猫或赋予骰子财富词条,可以通过5点的基础收入(通过祸与福增长,并随游戏初始难度降低)、每10点1点的利息(上限10,这点与云顶之弈类似)以及未消耗的积分次数积累。招财猫的价格在5-12点左右,道具则是3-12点,刷新则是由1(可通过增益从零开始)不断*2的指数增长。所以真正的小D怡情,大D伤身,强D灰飞烟灭。辛苦积累的财富瞬间清空,但是指标仍遥遥无期。不仅词条的赋予不稳定,联动词条的获取也不稳定,核心的猫更不用提,真正有机制的猫又都稀有难刷取。直接导致运气成分占比较大,难度也真的相当大。 [h3]三、总结[/h3] 整体而言,这是一款游戏性相当高,深度足又有趣的游戏,挑战性十足,上手简单,难精通的优质游戏,唯一的诉求就是希望考虑降低一点难度,增加一些又爽又容易成型的流派。 [quote][h3]鉴赏员测评配置:[/h3] CPU:AMD Ryzen 7 6800H with Radeon Graphics GPU:NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop 加入[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GgamePlayer] G胖受害者鉴赏组[/url] 和鉴赏员一起战斗!爽!
