Shooting enemies prompts a satisfyingly scratchy sound effect, platforming feels straightforward and responsive, and four-directional shooting is immediately available from the start. Controlling them in both suited and un-suited forms feels snappy and responsive, and enemy mobs don’t dispense any health or item currencies, so directly navigating through each set of screens takes full priority over killing every enemy in a room, with the exception of specifically scripted locked-in instances.Įverything absolutely works and fits together in Gato Roboto. In mech form, Kiki can fire bullets and obtains a snazzy missile launcher, a highly functional weapon which operates on a cooldown and necessitates careful timing for effective use.
In a creative twist, Kiki can actually de-mech at will, a maneuver which is required in order to crawl through small passages or - quite strangely for domesticated felines - swim through underwater areas. Related: Trover Saves The Universe Review - Incomparable Hilarity, With or Without VR
The game boasts alternate machines for Kiki to hop inside, but don’t get too excited these options are limited and all of them are applied in very specific situations. While the captain is trapped in what’s left of the ship, Kiki is briskly sent out on a rescue mission, soon equipping a clearly Samus-inspired mech-suit to deal with the environment’s dangers. If you're a fan of old school Metroid, I can promise that you won't be disappointed.You are the heroic cat Kiki, crash-landed on an alien outpost when your owner botches a flight path (Kiki screws up his controls by greedily laying across the keyboard, an adorably familiar moment). Whether you play on Steam or on Switch (pssssst, play on Switch), make sure you check out Gato Roboto. The only frustration I found in that regard was having go through the dialogue for each and every boss attempt, but for that to be my biggest complaint is a pretty big accolade for the game. The game is fairly generous with save point placement, so dying and losing an hour of progress isn't a concern. This is the perfect game to fire up and play through on a flight, a train ride, or a morning commute (assuming you're not driving on your commute I do not condone playing Switch while driving). Yes, it's a very short game, but it's also an extremely affordable game, and most importantly, it's an extremely enjoyable game. Gato Roboto is an extremely short experience, and while a three to four hour time to beat may seem unduly short to some and serve as a turn off, I must recommend that those people reconsider.
