About Kitty Cat Combat
Kitty Cat Combat is a tactical RPG and simulator that pits adorable but deadly felines against enemies in a mix of fantasy and modern warfare. Developed by Waku Waku Games, it launched December 31, 2026, on PC. The game tasks you with commanding a squad of cat soldiers, each with unique abilities, to complete missions under the "pawprint banner." It’s a weird, charming blend of squad management and turn-based combat, wrapped in a cat-centric aesthetic. If you’ve ever wondered what a military strategy game would look like with laser-eyes and meow commands, this is it.
Gameplay
Battles unfold in grid-based maps where you deploy cats with varied roles: snipers, medics, stealth operatives. Each has stamina and skill trees to level up, affecting their abilities and gear loadouts. Missions involve rescuing kittens, securing objectives, or fending off dog squads. You alternate between planning phases, positioning cats and setting commands, and real-time execution. Controls feel clunky at first but streamline after a few hours. The simulator elements include managing food supplies, catnip, and morale between missions. Combat emphasizes positioning and elemental weaknesses, but the AI sometimes misjudges flanking maneuvers.
What Players Think
87% of PlayPile users rate it “Great,” with an average score of 8.2. 65% of players finish the main story, averaging 18 hours. 70% report being “Entertained,” 20% “Frustrated” by AI quirks, and 10% “Bored” by repetitive missions. One review calls it “the weirdest fun I’ve had in years,” while another gripes, “Cat puns wear thin after 10 hours.” The $29.99 price tag nets 45 achievements, including “Meow-ster Tactician.” Completion rates dip in the final act, where 30% of players quit before the boss fight.
PlayPile's Take
Worth a playthrough if you enjoy quirky strategy games and can overlook its flaws. The cat theme is a gimmick that works for some but not all, expect 20+ hours for full completion. $29.99 buys 45 achievements, but the mid-game grind for resources feels tedious. Recommended for fans of tactical RPGs who don’t mind a goofy premise. Not essential, but memorable for its niche charm.
