The Battle Cats Unite! [Switch] Review – A Purrfect Port? – Gamezebo

The Battle Cats have been a large deal on cellular, being a longtime a part of the tower protection style on the format for almost ten years now.

Revolving round you controlling a variety of weird felines, the sequence surprisingly hasn’t really seen a lot motion outdoors cellular. It pawed its manner onto 3DS and Home windows in 2016 and 2017 respectively, however that’s about it.

Till this Change port, which has really been out there in Japan and SEA for a number of years already. Now we’re getting it within the West, and it’s been well worth the wait.

Now, The Battle Cats Unite! might sound a posh title if you first begin it up. There’s a dizzying vary of choices and in your first few phases you get numerous info thrown your manner. 

You principally should direct your military of cats to the left of the display, destroying your opponent’s fortress and defending your personal. However there are a number of assaults to determine, levelling up choices throughout phases, and a alternative of which cats to make use of and when. 

However right here’s the factor – this sport just isn’t that sophisticated, and that’s really an excellent factor. There’s depth right here for these in search of it, however finally you’ll be able to have a good time whether or not you’ve by no means performed tower protection video games or been enjoying them for years.

As a result of the true attraction to The Battle Cats is, and all the time has been, the cats themselves. There’s a large vary to unlock and use, and range from commonplace little critters to large ones with tank like our bodies.

Some are cute, others are fairly frankly terrifying. But it surely’s all the time a pleasure to see which one you’ll unlock and be capable to use subsequent. I received’t reveal any extra right here for concern of ruining issues. The sport is all the time including in new ones consistently too, stopping battles from getting repetitive.

That stated, this positively isn’t a title I’d wish to play for hours directly. The gameplay can generally turn out to be just a little one notice, even with the massive vary of cats to select from.

The port is strong sufficient too, even when the sprites might have completed with just a little optimisation on the sport’s journey onto Change. It does run flawlessly docked or handheld nonetheless.

It is a sport we’d finally advocate enjoying briefly bursts – this manner it provides a superbly judged expertise for each skilled and novice followers of the tower protection style.
