2021-12-26
PONOS Corporation has released many interesting titles like The Burgle Cat, Pogo Cat, and many more. They seem to taste Cat games; hence they have recently come up with another cat game known as The Battle Cats, which has become one of the most sought-after Gatcha casual games. There are other titles that have cats in them, but you find a better game than this when you can make cats fight.
It is the simplest yet cute game with a very strong battle element. The game works on who will decrease the opponent's HP first. So you are in for a treat for a simple gameplay experience. There are no complex gameplay elements; hence can be enjoyed without worrying about handling multiple things simultaneously.
In this review, we will talk about the game's overall aesthetics and whether the game is worth your time or not. We will consider the gameplay experience, visuals, controls, accessibility, and drawbacks.
Is there a story of any significance affecting gameplay?
There is no strong storyline to go with the game because there is no need for a storyline. The gameplay is quite straightforward, and there are no key elements in the introduction that will affect future gameplay. You will directly enter the game as soon as you start and choose your preferred location to battle from the in-game map. This might be a good thing because you won't be wasting time figuring out what you missed in a story or about any crucial endings.
Overall the introduction to the game is good enough to enable you to understand what the game is all about and what the game has to offer to you.
How are the graphics and visuals of the game in comparison to other titles?
It's a 2D game with some 3D elements to it. When it comes to 2D battles, you cannot expect many graphics because there is not much happening on screen in terms of visuals. But the animations and visual elements are very well optimized for all devices. There are no pixelated spots, and everything is smooth to look at. The GUI is well built, with everything accessible easily through menus and shortcuts.
The game is excellent in battle and menu animations, and you will have a great experience unlocking lotteries and rewards with cartoon-like visuals. Hence on an overall basis, the graphics are very good and suit the game very well.
Are the controls easy to use, and are they accessible enough?
The game might be considered among the easiest to play in terms of controls. There is nothing much to do except just tap and tap until you win. It is a tap-and-play type of game, and everything is accessible via a single tap. This might get boring because you are only tapping your way through everything. But that's what makes this game even more playable on the go because you can play it with even one hand as it's only a casual gacha game and not a role-playing game where you need complex controls to access various things all at once.
Hence in terms of controls, the game is very well optimized, and there are absolutely no corners cut in terms of accessibility. Only there could have been a bit more control over the game rather than just tapping.
How are the overall gameplay aesthetics and gameplay experience?
The Battle cats is all about cats fighting to win. Basically, how the game works is once you enter battle mode, you will have the option to produce cats. It is all about how many cats you bring to the battlefield. But a small cooldown is laid after every summon. There are various types of cats that you can unlock and bring to the battlefield. These humanoid cats have various abilities as well. The main things that need to be done are saving your in-game money and producing as many cats as possible. It sounds very chaotic but is very fun to play once you get the hang of it.
Upgrades are also an integral part of the game, and you need to keep leveling up to keep up with the opponents you face. There are quests known as chapters that will help you level up and gain experience.
Drawbacks of the game
In terms of drawbacks, the game has a few. The cat production concept is very exciting, but the screen becomes flooded with cats of different types, which makes it quite chaotic to look at. Sometimes, there is too much going on the screen, which occasionally makes it unpleasant to look at. Also, the game could have improved the visuals a bit rather than just going for a generic visual animation model. Apart from these things, the game is very much fun to play.
Final Verdict
The Battle Cats is a very interesting game with a lot to explore. Uniqueness is present heavily in the game; hence it will win the people's hearts who will play it. After all, the game has CATS because you do not need anything else in life once you have cats at your fingertips fighting each other with unique abilities. The game is very weird yet extremely fun to play. There are many types of cats with funny character modules such as the Sexy Legs Cat, Fish Cat, Macho Cat, etc. So go ahead and build your army of weird cats and battle other cats with full power.
