New Royal Arts (“free” attacks you gain by progressing in the game – the first now being a dodge roll modification that enables you to damage enemies when dodging through them) were added and if even these new attacks don’t help you regards of difficulty, you can now play in Story Mode for a more relaxed combat experience – and better experience the story and dialogue.ĭefense was reworked into a Halo-style shield: sitting over your health bar, defense is a new bar that takes damage first before you start taking health damage – and yes, it regenerates.Īnd more quality of life upgrades to ease the experience.Īs the kingsblood, you’re a Cat accompanied by a Dog (or vice versa should you switch characters) and you return to the Felingard Empire in a state of war between it the Dog Kingdom, Lupus. Mew World introduced a much needed auto-sprint: after running a few seconds, your character will speed up until reaching a maximum speed state of sprinting that allows it to move much faster in the world – helping exploration feel less of a chore, especially since some sections in the world feel a bit too empty, unfortunately.Įlemental damage received much needed visual overhauls as elements now have a damage-number-color associated with them to better distinguish the type of damage you’re dealing.

Running in the (massive) open world can get exhausting and since you’re a cat (or dog) that runs on two legs – speed isn’t the best.

Before the Mew World update, sorting was a bit messy and items had no rarity color code – now you can filter gear much faster and better even – there are colors for each rarity! Sadly, you cannot filter by color as far as I’m aware and that’s a disappointing missed feature in the inventory system – making it feel clunkier than it should. Every single piece feels different and even has its own rarity. – a lot of customization for your run is available, helping the game feel a bit more fresh every time you start over.Īs it’s an RPG, inventory matters and Cat Quest 2 has enough loot to drive you crazy, but not in the way you think – it doesn’t RNG a billion different pieces of equipment but it rather has a fixed amount of equipment that looks all different from one another and all have their own buffs and stats.

It’s a Brand Mew WorldĬelebrating Cat Quest’s anniversary and surprisingly large success (that fully deserves it, in my opinion), the developers implemented a rich update that adds content and overhauls existing systems within the game.įirstly, modifiers! When completing the game, you unlock New Game + but also Meowdifiers (strap in folks, it’s going to be a pun-y ride) when starting over your campaign in order to really test your metal – from your typical-but-different-this-game Hardcore (you die enough times, you need to start over) to Naked (can’t equip weapons or armor), not levelling up, Magic Only runs, etc. This is, at the core, a re-review: Cynic already gave the game a good praise in his review HERE! This review will touch all aspects of gameplay still, but the focus will be far stronger on the brand new update: Mew World (oh, lord). It’s not going to win any depth awards, but neither should it chase such awards, rather be it’s own little well crafted and written RPG with puns for days – I can’t even count the times I smiled and rolled my eyes at a pun the game made anymore – and I still love it. Cat Quest 2 grabs a simple concept and manages to beautifully execute it in a manner that allows it to be enjoyed by both kids and adults and everything in between – especially people looking for an engaging RPG experience that’s well written and paced.
