Regarding combat, there’s also one issue that does happen quite often. But hey, at least this time they’ve added ranged weapons, so there’s that! Also, while there are 101 different pieces of equipment that you can get, weapons and armor aren’t interesting, as most of them only change the way your character looks and increase your stats, there’s nothing unique about them. Having a more complex combat system would have certainly helped, but being able to continuously attack by holding down the attack button would have helped mitigate the issue of button mashing.

While there are different spells and weapons that you can acquire and upgrade, and while there’s also a constant need to keep on dodging enemy attacks, the game still ends up being a button mash fest like the original. As you travel around the world, either solo or with a partner in local co-op, you’ll either be doing quests, chasing down loot chests, or clearing dungeons, and you’re bound to run into enemies just roaming around.Ī major focus of Cat Quest II is the combat, which is, to put it bluntly, pretty simplistic and rather underwhelming. Like its predecessor, Cat Quest II puts you in an open world map where you can pretty much walk wherever you want to, with some areas being inaccessible until you reach a certain point in the game. Cat Quest II is also better in some aspects when compared to the first one, but it also remains pretty much the same in regards to other aspects, for better and for worse. The developers describe their game as a “fast paced open world action RPG” in a “massive world filled with monsters, dungeons and quests”, and I’d say that this description is pretty spot-on, although I didn’t find the game to be as compelling as it might have initially sounded like.įirst things first, while Cat Quest II takes place after the events of the first game, and while a few characters are making a return, I’d say that you’re not missing out if you just want to jump in this one. Cat Quest II is the sequel to 2017’s Cat Quest, made by the Singaporean developer The Gentlebros.
