![]() ![]() Sometimes the game may have you search around for things or fight waves of enemies in a confined space, but mostly it will be going from place to place and fighting some set foes in a cave. While not all dungeons in the game are a part of the quests, many of them will make up the fighting portion of a job, the player plunging into some surprisingly small caves or ruins to wipe out all the monsters.Īdmittedly, the quests don’t often have too much to them from a gameplay standpoint. Major settlements will often contain quest boards where the player can pick up a new job, these usually involving a conflict either with overworld enemies or a dive down into one of the world’s many dungeons. Dragons, magical creatures, and angry wildlife make for a hostile world and evil magics have been causing problems all across it, so the player is given many quests over the course of the game to help solve the problems of the populace. Felingard’s cast of cat people aren’t alone on the continent, as monsters cut from fantasy cloth roam about it freely causing trouble. The full embrace of feline humor is only just the style of the world, as the quests are what make up the tasks that carry you through it. However, by completely embracing the concept and baking it in as a key component of the experience, Cat Quest makes it so that it’s almost disappointing to see moments where a pun isn’t being made, the world serving as a goofy playground for all the cat-related wordplay to flourish in. However, in those titles it is often a single character or moment that indulges in the pun making, things like the cat puns of Minette from Bravely Second: End Layer coming to mind with how at odds they seem with other elements of the game. ![]() Initially, it can seem like Cat Quest might be the kind of game that might make you groan with its constant cat jokes and puns, and in other games this can very well be the case. The king of the lands is a lion who speaks like the LOLcat internet memes, the mayor of Pawt City (which is a pun on “port city” and hardly the most strained pun you’ll find) is an oddly buff kitty, and even smaller quests that use the same few cat villager models will try to give their characters a bit of personality to set them apart. As you travel to places like The Catpital, The Deep Furrest, and the Furbidden Fields, you can inevitably expect to meet a lot of cat characters, but there is some variation within these felines to prevent it from being just unimaginative retreads. When a cat is surprised they exclaim “Meowzah”, rather than saying something is “very good” they would say it’s “furry good”, and they’ll find any chance they can to add words like “paws”, “pounce”, or “purr” to what they’re saying, sometimes even adding it in where the puns don’t really make sense if you stop to think about them. Nearly every character who can speak is a cat, many locations have some sort of cat pun as part of its name, and even the dialogue of the game is peppered with the kind of words you’d usually expect to find in a cat joke. Every single aspect of the game’s world is catered to the idea that this is a game well and truly about felines. Cat Quest is a game with an incredible commitment to a very simple idea to the point that it completely influences every part of it, and that idea is the deceptively simple but fairly obvious direction of being a game about a cat going on quests.Ĭat Quest didn’t just arbitrarily make a cat its lead protagonist though.
