Cats are doing well in indie games. The best video games with cats
Table of Contents
Indie cats. A few of the games above are purely independent titles, and this is only a fraction of the available offer. If you like cats and indie games – you have a lot to choose from. However, as in other genres, here also many titles are, to put it mildly, average.
Below are some games worth checking out.
Cat Goes Fishing
- Cat's role: fishers
- Release year: 2015
- Genre: fishing
- Average play time according to howlongtobeat.com: 10 hours
- Platform: PC
Cat Goes Fishing is an oldie but goodie, with nearly 200 people playing it every day. In this charming fishing simulator, we play the role of a cat following the path "from zero to hero." We start with the simplest rod, but there's a whole ocean of challenges ahead of us with various improvements to the equipment and boats.
The idea for the game is not very innovative, but you know – everything be better with cats. This is confirmed by 94% of Steam reviews being positive.
Gato Roboto
- Cat role: A heroic cat saving the crew of the ship
- Release year: 2019
- Genre: metroidvania
- Average play time according to howlongtobeat.com: 3 hours
- Platforms: PC, Switch, Xbox One
Gato Roboto is a full-fledged retro game. We have pixel graphics, a spaceship, a mech, and hundreds of enemies to defeat. However, the main character sets this title apart from many similar games of the metroidvania genre – it's a cute kitten driving a killer mech. There are also stages in which it is necessary to leave the cockpit – then the player has to avoid combat and take advantage of the small size and high nimbleness of the main character.
The game offers monochrome graphics and a side-scroller view. We travel through a vast labyrinth of levels, where you can find additional equipment, hundreds of enemies, and come across demanding bosses.
Purrfect Date
- Cat role: inhabitants of Cat Island
- Release year: 2017
- Genre: visual novel / dating simulator
- Average play time according to howlongtobeat.com:18×16 svg 1.5 hours
- Platforms: PC, iOS
Purrfect Date is a quite an unusual game in which we can date one of six cats. However, this is not an ordinary dating simulator – it also has a plot that reveals the "great secret" hidden on Cat Island, where the game takes place. The whole thing is kept in a humorous convention, although not everyone will probably enjoy it all that much.
