Combat Cats

this is a short but very enjoyable puzzle game, where you play as the cats of course who have had there catnip stashs stolen, the culprits? the fish! oh and lets not froget the mastermind, as there is always a mastermind. the game is simple in a sense, as you match up the tiles to attack, or repair. there is a few attack types in the game, flame freeze poison and rocket, the only other tile type is repair. which of course the more tiles you match together in 1 row the stronger the effect is when it happens. i should also note there is a currency system which is used to upgrade your health, repair and the various attacks. there is 3 storefronts 1 which takes coins to upgrade your weapons, a 2nd which takes catnip to boost your weapons and the 3rd is the unlockable cats/ships , which takes a bit of both. in total there is 15 stages all replayable, and a score system based on time with 1 to 3 star ratings. included in these 15 stages are 3 boss stages which act as normal stages leading to the bosses. once every stage has been completed survival mode unlocks, and i will admit it is a challange. last thing i should add is that each ship includes its own attack visuals, grumpy cats is a cardboard ship, so he fires tollietpaper, the aliencat fires a laser beam, oh and lets not froget the witchs cat who fires a magic blast. overall the game is short and just about everything can be unlocked within 5 hours that includes majority achivements, the only achivements that will take you time is the 500 surfer defeats and survival mode kills. so if you like puzzle games with rpg twists and alotta cuteness check this great game out to avoid any confusion, catnip and coins both are gainable via battles, all currencys are available ingame without having to pay more then just for the game.

Very addictive little game! You just match blocks and kill evil fish with cats piloting starships. But as I said its a nice game to spend your time with if you have nothing to do. Recommend.

I never quite knew what I was getting myself into with Combat Cats. I didn’t actively seek out to feature the game. I only agreed to feature it as part of our KISS Gameathon as a favor for my representative at KISS whose friend developed this game. Now that I have got you thinking that I’m making excuses for featuring the game I’d like you to stop those thoughts. Sometimes games slip under the radar. I mean completely under the radar. The game was released in March of last year and went unnoticed to the point that it doesn’t even have a page on Metacritic let alone reviews for it on the site. Those who count total Steam reviews there’s 21 in total. I am more than a little bit shocked that it has gone under the radar as much as it has. The match gems genre, which is essentially a large part of the game, generally has been one that has fans who pick up the vast majority of its games when it is release. The game is just $2.99 so price has never been an issue. The devs seemingly had to argue with Steam to put the game out at a price that they deemed fair – Steam wanted a higher price and a threat was made that the game would be released as a free to play title if Steam disagreed with the final price point that the game was slated at. This is something that I have never seen before. However, Steam requesting that their cut (30% of each and every product sold through Steam itself) be something significant doesn’t surprise me in the least. That’s why Steamified hopes to open our own game shop later in the year but that’s a discussion topic for another time. There’s a high level of challenge present in Combat Cats. Some of the achievements are among most challenging and rewarding to get. There are 25 in total and although the game was only intended to be a short one if you’re an achievement hunter who refuses to use SAM (Steam Achievement Manager) to boost your stats you will find that it will take you a good while to get them all. From that perspective the game has a lot of replayability but that is determined on how much you enjoy the genre as to whether you’ll spend that time with the game. There are fifteen different levels and the game utilizes the three star system. Combat Cats is visually and audibly suffice for what it needs to achieve. It’s not going to be memorable in either way but it wont make your ears or eyes hurt either. It just adds to make Combat Cats what it is – a very solid game and a good entry in the genre. It’s not the flashiest of games but it doesn’t have to be either. I hope that by providing some much needed spotlight on the game that Steamified has been able to raise some awareness of the game. And if you love cats and haven’t played it yet then go and purr-chase the game already! At least give the game a bloody page on Metacritic for crying out loud!

Nice little casual game with fine pixel art graphics and chiptune music. Fight as a cat pilot against the evil fishes who stole your catnip. Yes it sounds dumb but the game is fun. :) The mechanics are simple. There are 6 types of gems on a 6x6 table and you have to put 4 or more similar next to each other to release the effect belong to them. Have to use 4 types of attack, can repair yourself and get money which can be spent on upgrades. Upgrades make the effects stronger. I finished the campaign between 2 and 3 hours. Get all the achievements would be more time. Its nothing special but a fair product particularly if you like the retro style of it.

Игра [b]Combat Cats[/b] стала для меня приятной неожиданностью. Признаться, когда я садился в неё играть, то не ожидал от неё ничего хорошего. Причин тому было несколько. Во-первых, это довольно спорная механика. Такая себе смесь бульдога с носорогом: скрестили одну из разновидностей connect four с горизонтальным side-stroller. Во-вторых, это прокачка осуществляемая с помощью вливание [i]сотен нефти[/i] и требующая из-за этого множество раз проходить одни и те же «локации» дабы немного подзаработать, ибо без этого продвижение дальше становится крайне затруднительным. В-третьих, это малое количество как самих локаций так и боссов. Это я ещё не говорю про то, что разнообразием ни те, ни другие не блещут! В-четвертых, сами транспортные средства кроме внешнего вида по большей части не отличаются больше ничем (либо различия эти незначительны), что очень и очень скверно! Тем не менее, почти все эти недостатки меркнут на фоне внешнего вида игры. Графическое оформление довольно таки приятное, а персонажи полны добра и дружбы. Практически всю кампанию (которая к слову тут всего одна), я пролетал за довольно няшного котейку, сидящего верхом на пироженке, которое имеет выхлоп радугой, и сбивающего рыбок в аквариумах. Милота! Так что уже одно это делает игру не такой уж и плохой, учитывая тот факт, что постепенно ты втягиваешься и начинаешь получать какое-никакое но удовольствие от процесса. К тому же, есть тут и достижения с карточками, а потому почему бы и нет, собственно? [b]P.S.[/b] Остерегайтесь последнего босса! Он зверски жесткий и суровый! Однако, если вам всё же удастся его одолеть, то после этого вам откроется режим на выживание.

The Meowment I got this game I was hooked! The whole Catitude and design of this game is Pawsome. At first glance you may think, oh... it's just another match 3 game. But you're wrong! It's a Meow-nificent high speed matching game, with a unique gameplay elements in which you'll need your wits about to complete. So Paw-lease, I highly recommend this gem, and I hope I purr-suaded your decision... even a whisker.

6min of this game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH3sIu929cg a match 4 game but in here you hold 1 tile and can swap it with any that are down to make matches . tiles are freeze bolt, poison bullets, lasers, missals, repair, coins, & a special. your fighter has a hp bar and to progress in a board you need to match attacks to take out the fighters that pop up without losing all your health. you can upgrade all abilities & your hp in the hanger with coins and catnip you get from beating boards. in all there are 15 boards 3 have bosses, and you can play as 1 of 9 cat fighters though all attacks look the same except the specials. you can get up to 3 starts from each board and you'll need so many to unlock each of the higher levels (L15 needs 40stares so you can only miss 2 by that time) so you'll be upgrading and replying boards to get the 3rd stare.

[h1]Nyan-Cat Muffin [/h1] Ich habe mich erstmal gefragt, was dieses angesprochene Match-3 sein soll, von dem hier alle reden? Wer wie ich ne Erklärung brauch, kann hier (genauer gehts net) gucken: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casual_Game#Erfolgreiche_Vertreter [b]Gameplay[/b] In Combat Cats gibt es im Grunde nur ein Ziel: So schnell wie möglich möglichst viele Bausteine aneinander reihen bzw. in Verbindung bringen. Denn jedesmal, wenn wir eine mind. 4 bauteilige Reihe auslösen, greifen wir unseren Gegner am oberen Bildschirmrand an oder Reparieren uns selber oder sammeln Münzen. Schaffen wir mehrere Kombis schnell hintereinander erhöht sich die Chance auf eine Meownuke I & II, womit man richtig Schaden anrichten kann. Hat man das Level geschafft, warten Gold und Katzenminze auf den Spieler, womit man Upgrades durchführen kann oder sich auch zu optischen Zwecken eine neue Maschine kaufen kann, darunter ein Regenbogenmuffin(wirkt doch irgendwie inspiriert, oder?) oder auch das "Steam" Kampflugzeug. Ich kann auch das Tutorial unter "Optionen" gut empfehlen! Das Spiel ist relativ kurz, nach 2,5 Stunden war ich mit dem Spiel fertig, nach 3,5 Stunden hatte ich alle Upgrades. Ist man mit der Story fertig(wobei der letzte Boss es in sich hat), kann man sich auch nur im Survivialmodus behaupten. Allerdings sind die Achievements nach mehreren Quellen kaputt, sodass man nie die 100 % erreichen kann. Es wurde zwar irgendwann mal gesagt, dass des gefixt wird, aber leider ist es bis heute nie passiert. Sonst gibts aber keine Bugs :-) [b]Story[/b] Von Story zu reden, wäre vielleicht zu viel. Am Anfang sowie am Ende gibt es ne kleine Text/Bildersequenz. Scheinbar haben die gemeinen Fische die Katzenminze von Cat Island geklaut und es kam zu starken Unruhen in der Bevölkerung. Kriminalität, Verzweiflungstaten... Da müssen die Combat Cats kommen und die Fische besiegen, was denn sonst? Aber die wenigen Texte sind sehr niedlich und lustig beschrieben, dass muss man den Entwicklern lassen. [b]Grafik/Sound[/b] Die Grafik ist, wie man schon sieht, auf Retro getrimmt. Das passt sehr gut zum Spiel und die Katzen wirken dadurch auch wesentlich niedlicher. Komischerweise ging mir die Kampfmusik, mit dem Geballere zusammen sehr gut ins Blut und diese einfache Melodie ist in gewisser Weise sehr entspannend. Perfekt um abzuschalten! [b]Fazit[/b] Das Spiel ist mit knapp 3 Stunden Spielzeit ziemlich kurz. Allerdings kostet es auch derzeitig nur 3 € und lässt sich in nem Sale besonders gut abgreifen. In den 3 Stunden kann man sich gut entspannen und dabei zusehen, wie dutzende Raketen und Atombomben aus einem fliegenden Muffin hervorkommen. Für alle Katzenfans da Draußen eindeutig lohnenswert :-) Hat dir das Review weitergeholfen?
