About Cat Quest
Cat Quest is a 2D open world RPG developed by The Gentlebros and released in 2017. It blends fantasy with absurdity, replacing humans with cats in a world where the Lion King rules the "Catpital" and townsfolk sip catnip-infused pies. You play as a feline adventurer with three distinct classes, Blademaster, Sorcerer, or Rogue, and explore a whimsical land filled with puns, cat puns, and more cat puns. The game leans into retro pixel art and light-hearted storytelling, making it a lighthearted alternative to traditional fantasy RPGs. It’s a short but cozy romp best suited for casual gamers looking for charm over depth.
Gameplay
Combat is 2D side-scrolling, alternating between melee brawling and spellcasting depending on your class. You’ll slash enemies, dodge projectiles, and occasionally pounce on foes for critical hits. Exploration involves navigating interconnected zones like forests and mountains, with optional quests to collect catnip and rescue kittens. The open world is small but dense with secrets, and dialogue options with NPCs often lead to goofy side stories. Each character class has unique abilities, but progression is linear, leveling up boosts stats and unlocks new attacks. Sessions usually last 30 minutes to an hour, with frequent pauses for comedic cutscenes and absurd flavor text.
What Players Think
Cat Quest holds a 76.5/100 on IGDB from 94 ratings, with an average playtime of 22 hours and a 43% completion rate. Community moods lean nostalgic, with players praising its charm but acknowledging the brevity. One user wrote, “It’s like if someone made a Skyrim mod for cats, but shorter and funnier.” Achievement completion averages 67%, suggesting some grinding for late-game trophies. Critics note the game’s simplicity and lack of polish but highlight its humor and accessibility. The 120 achievements include tasks like “Punch a Cat” or “Eat 10 Catnip Pies,” reflecting the game’s lighthearted tone.
PlayPile's Take
Cat Quest is a $15, $20 novelty that delivers exactly what it promises: a silly, stylized RPG with cat puns. It’s best for fans of bite-sized adventures or those who enjoy poking fun at genre tropes. While the combat and world-building lack depth, the humor and pixel art keep it engaging for 15, 20 hours. If you’re not invested in open-world mechanics or combat depth, this is a fun, low-effort experience. But for RPG purists, it’s a lightweight trinket rather than a must-play.
