Combat Cats

fun combat block matcher. Cat approved

This is not a bad little puzzle game. I love the backgrounds and the battle scenes. I wasn't crazy about how extremely grindy it got at the end, specifically to take down the last boss. I got it on sale, and I recommend getting it at that price. 5/10

Großartiges Spiel für Katzen- und Match-3-Freunde. Aber Obacht, selbst mit etwas Grinden ist man nach ca. 2,5 Stunden durch. Fehlt nur noch Maru als Charakter. Gottkatze sagt: kaufen!

I have no idea why this game has such a high rating... It isn't particularly exciting, funny or well made. It's a poor mobile game adaptation with zero effort put into adapting it to our horizontal resolutions. The match-3 (well, match-4) gameplay variation is interesting, but it's not very enjoyable either. There are only like 15 levels (!) to beat. All you can do is collect money, buy new upgrades, and they dare call that an RPG just because you can increase the damage you deal..? That's silly. The survival mode has zero interest, and apparently its achievements are broken. There are typos in the introduction. The ending is stupid. As I said, zero effort was put into the game. I'm not gonna put much effort into my review either. Don't bother!

Good puzzle game. When I only have a few minutes to spare, I still go back and play it every once and a while despite finishing it. You can probably cruise through it in 3-4 hours, if you just push for completion and ignore collection and achievements. I liked the idea of earning earning catnip (The leaves?) and money to buy things and upgrade ability. Keeps it interesting. Money was weighted quite well relative to the length of game. This means you don't grind too much, but it takes a decent time to get the cash. Catnip was poorly weighted. You end up topping out too quickly to where it does not matter. The level progression was weighted quite well. You did not have to grind too much to get the items you need to stand a chance on the next level. In other words the abilities of the next level up were well matched to the powers and ships you have by the time you get there. This makes it a fair fight, without too much boredom and frustration. Two of the achievements to do with survival mode are extremely hard to do. They are unrealistic compared to other achievements. It does not have an enemies killed tracker so you can see how close you got, instead it has a useless points tracker. Survival mode is kind of lame since there are not any upgrades you can do. Once you complete the quest likely you have everything. So you go to survival mode and basically keep getting to the same point of progress. Since you have everything it makes catnip and money meaningless. It would have been cool to add a new set of weapons and abilities for survival mode after the quest is complete. As it is survival mode is kind of pointless.

The game is fun and addictive. I like the style and theme for the simple fact that you... OK there are lots of weird games like this out there but this one feels unique. It does lack a lot of polish, a few things don't work as well as they should, and the story mode is short. However, that is not enough to keep me from reccomending this game.

Fun match 4, that starts to get really grindy halfway through. Not worth the $2.99, and there are more interesting games in the genre.

a fun and addictive diversion. the cats are cute - slight issue I have is that I end up having to look at the puzzle board and not at the cats
