How it feels

A deeply strategic turn-based roguelite where you breed and command eccentric cats through tactical, punishing encounters.

What players say

Players praise the turn-based tactics and music but are divided over the heavy RNG that can break runs and a cat-breeding system that becomes tedious without filters or renaming. A significant portion of reviews are review bombs over unfulfilled localization promises, particularly for Chinese and Ukrainian, after the developer held community polls.
