Cat Quest II

It doesn’t say that it does but you can use a controller. Just go into options and change it, I used an Xbox controller. The game is very straight forward and fun if you want a simple RPG. You can tell if you have completed a dungeon if there is a question mark or a half filled diamond you need to go back and complete something usually if you can’t figure it out there is a unmarked path you can walk off somewhere to get a chest. After a while you figure out you can skip all the dialog and just follow the on screen Cutser to see what to do next. You need to do as many level appropriate side quests as you progress otherwise you aren’t always strong enough to easily defeat the next part of main quest. Otherwise once you have completed a dungeon nothing will show on it. I finished with 100% on all Game Center categories. Using a controller and making your character use magic like shield, health restore with the black hole spell and the space beam or trap really does the job. Make the other character your tank.

Cat Quest was a beautiful distillation of the adventure genre, compressing an entire game’s worth of content into a large, beautifully realized overworld and several dozen brisk, fun dungeon instances. It’s hands-down one of my favorite mobile games. Cat Quest II is somehow even more delightful. It has the same gorgeous artwork, energizing cinematic soundtrack, quirky dialog, and hilariously stupid cat (and dog) puns, but it smooths over a couple small deficits in the original. The additions of a companion, ranged attacks, elemental resistances, and dodge rolling give this sequel significantly more interesting and dynamic gameplay. The only developer suggestion I really have is to include easily selectable equipment loadouts or favorites. If my cat is running through the desert wearing all ice mage gear and suddenly encounters one of those tough little (ice-resistant) ice wyverns, it’s tedious to change into another set of equipment just to switch back after the fight.

I originally played this game in the Apple TV, and I had to use a controller. I used the Steelseries Controller, and it was really fun. I decided to get it on my phone, and didn’t need to use a controller, but trust me, it makes your life a million times easier, and more fun. This game is probably my favorite game in a long while, and it will be played over and over again with New Game + to try and get 100% completion on hardest difficulty with the highest-level gear, be a us e the grinding isn’t super long and boring, and you are suggested to do t he main quest, but I think the side quests are more fun after you beat the game once (which only takes about 6 total hours of gameplay, which isn’t technically the end yet). Overall, it’s an amazing game, a game you should DEFINITELY get, even if you didn’t play the first (I didn’t)!

This game is so much fun. Life changes and I just can’t spend four hours a night in a raiding guild, but this has just the right balance of difficulty and challenge that I can pick up and put down as needed to get my fix. I’m fully decked out in the three legendary items and yet I still find myself coming back for more. This is the first RPG on iOS to get the touch interface right so that it doesn’t require a controller and works on a smaller screen, but it’s not just a smash tanking game either. Range DPS gameplay is very well done and I found it more intuitive. There is a ton of content to play through, making this a prime example of the quality available via Apple Arcade.

Cat quest II really feels like a full sized title at first, the controls are great with touch and even better with a controller. It’s not the deepest RPG but easy to jump in and play for minute bursts. The only downside comes from a bit of lack of variety, as the game weights a bit long on tooth without much meaningful change. You’ll crawl the same style dungeons and fight the same handful of enemies and the same few enemy attacks from beginning to end. Then the payoff is one unique panel, not much of a close out with an advert for a sequel. I liked the game play but mostly I ended up just using a wand from afar, rolling away and healing whenever hurt. With only two weapon types, there’s not much toy with. The few pieces of music and SFX are also become a bit worn by the end. There’s a few secrets, one of which was pretty funny as it gave me pause for a second before agreeing. That said, this is easily one of the better games in the Apple Arcade roster, that really gives a small screen a big feel. It’s easy to list the short comings but Cat Quest II makes for the best of the Apple Arcade and ultimately one of the best mobile games. Hopefully more larger titles like this are on Apple Arcade, and hopefully they’ll fund even bigger and more expansive games like Cat Quest.
