About Cosmic Tails
Cosmic Tails is a quirky indie RPG where you play a feline bounty hunter blasting through space to collect bounties on alien critters. Developed by nubes_ix and released in November 2025, it’s a mix of action and strategy set in a retro-futuristic galaxy. Play solo or team up with friends in co-op or split-screen modes. Upgrade cat-specific skills like enhanced agility or laser tails while dodging enemy swarms. The game leans into absurdity, think floating jellyfish armies and asteroid-based boss fights. It’s for players who enjoy fast-paced combat, sci-fi humor, and the occasional meow-based pun.
Gameplay
You navigate open-space sectors, battling bountied creatures with a mix of weapons and cat-themed abilities. Combat is real-time and chaotic, requiring quick reflexes to dodge projectiles while lining up headshots. Each mission has a time limit, fail to complete your contract, and you’re out. Upgrades come from harvested bounties, letting you tweak skills like “Overdrive Purr” (self-heal) or “Claws of Fury” (rapid melee strikes). Multiplayer modes add chaos, with split-screen allowing two players to share a screen. The game’s light story is delivered through snarky mission briefings, while side quests involve rescuing stranded cats or negotiating with alien gangs. Sessions typically last 30, 60 minutes, with permadeath adding tension.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 8.7/10, with critics averaging 85%. 45% of players finish the main story in under 20 hours, though 30% replay for achievements. Average playtime is 25 hours, with 60% of sessions under 30 minutes. Community moods: 60% “relaxed,” 30% “thrilling,” and 10% “frustrated” over permadeath. Reviews highlight co-op fun (“Split-screen is hilarious but chaotic”) and cat humor (“The meowing soundtrack is iconic”). It costs $29.99 with 50 achievements, including “Purr-fect Bounty Hunter” for 100% contracts.
PlayPile's Take
Cosmic Tails is a solid pick for co-op fans and those who love absurd sci-fi. The $29.99 price tag fits its bite-sized content, though the 25-hour average might feel short for completionists. Achievements add replay value, especially for collecting all cat skins. It’s not deep, but its goofy charm and frantic combat make it a fun pick for parties or solo sessions. Pass if you prefer story-heavy RPGs, but grab it for a lighthearted space romp with your squad.
