What’s still impressive about the inventory system that was present in the first game, is that duplicates simply feed into that item, making it stronger as opposed to filling up your inventory space.Įach character can equip up to four spells, such as slowing down your enemies with Freezepaw, addressing your wounds with Healpaw, or sucking enemies into a vortex with Gravi-ruff. The same goes for armor as well as you’ll often not just pick something because of a fashion choice. Most weapons have stats like bonus experience gain, or a trade-off of more strength but lower health. You can equip weapons such as swords, axes, or staves, but sadly no bows this time around. You have a dodge roll that allows you to avoid telegraphed attacks, usually indicated by a damage ring or focused line showing where the attack will land. I will note that the AI tends to retreat away from battle when you roll around and really only goes on the offensive when you do.Ĭat Quest 2 is very simple in its execution, making it a solid entry point for really any level of skill. If you don’t want to play co-op and choose to go the single-player route, then you have that option available to you, allowing you to swap back and forth at will. The best thing that this sequel does is by adding co-op, allowing both players to inhabit the body of either the cat or dog, outfitting them in armor, changing up their weapons, and equipping different spells to make them stand out. The game has you on a quest to save both kingdoms, and you’ll do this by working together. If you haven’t played the original Cat Quest, I strongly suggest doing so, but let’s get into what its sequel Cat Quest 2 actually is. I would have loved to see the map evolve and feature more verticality like scaling a tall mountain, making the world seem more explorable than just a flat plain. It also doesn’t help matters that returning to Felinegrad does make the game feel all too familiar. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but those who were hoping to see some gameplay advancements, like myself, may come off being a tad disappointed. Sure, we get a whole new story and some fun co-op gameplay, but everything else feels the same in nearly every way. I mention in my opening paragraph that Cat Quest 2 plays it far too safe and I mean that it doesn’t feel like much has really changed. There is a small but enjoyable cast of supporting characters you’ll interact with on the way, and a ton of side quests and puzzles to keep you busy for around 8-10 hours or so. You’ll encounter resistance on both sides, tracking down special relics to aid in the battle, as well as coming to grips with some shocking truths that are initially kept from you. You’ll play through this charming adventure as the cat and dog kings of old, set forth to bring peace back to the land.
