Technical aspects

Cat Quest II is a continuation the warmly-received action RPG from 2017. The title was developed by the devs of the original, e.g. the independent studio The Gentlebros.

Story

In Cat Quest II: The Lupus Empire, the players once again find themselves in a fantasy land inhabited by animals (the main character is a cat), and their task is to save the world threatened by a civil war. Just like in the first installment of the series, the plot was stuffed with a solid dose of specific humor.

Mechanics

Gameplay in Cat Quest II: The Lupus Empire does not differ from the formula developed for the purposes of the original. We continue to travel the vast world and carry out the tasks assigned to us by its inhabitants, as well as fighting enemies. During battles, as important as properly selected tactics are the abilities of the cat, whose combat potential is increased as we progress (the hero levels up and gains new skills, as well as collects more powerful equipment).

Technical aspects

Cat Quest II: The Lupus Empire's visuals adopt an original, cartoonish style.

PlayStation Universe: 9 / 10 by Seb Hawden

Cat Quest II has everything that made the first game so enjoyable. It has added co-op and a few new features that make it different enough for returning players to enjoy while maintaining its charm and great style. It's fun, simple and fun for everyone, while the art style and animations are to die for and a lot of players will fall in love with it. It's a breath of fresh air in the overcrowded role-playing game genre and is a delightful experience to savour.

Cubed3: 7 / 10 by Sandy Kirchner-Wilson

Cat Quest II succeeds in taking the concept of the original further, and making it a more compelling experience. The improved story, co-op play, and extra variety, essentially make it the bigger, better, more interesting version of the original - almost like a GOTY, or complete edition. Unfortunately, however, it fails to completely remedy the repetitive nature of some of the content, and in taking the tedium out of the level grinding. Overall, a commendable second tale in the world of Cat Quest, and one which is thoroughly recommended.

GameSpew: 8 / 10 by Kim Snaith

If you didn’t much enjoy the first Cat Quest, there’s not much to tempt you into the sequel; it’s very much more of the same. But if you did enjoy Cat Quest, then that should be music to your ears. It’s everything you loved, but just more of it.
