Cat Quest review — pawsitively delightful though not purrfect

Cat Quest is an adorable romp through a fantasy world where you fight monsters, cast spells, and battle dragon bosses. Oh, and you’re a cat. It’s the second title from Singapore-based indie studio The Gentlebros, which specializes in cute isometric brawlers.

To get it out of the way — yes, I am a cat lady. Everything I own is covered in fur, and I’m okay with that. However, I don’t like this game just because it has kitties in it. It isn’t purrfect but it’s a genuinely fun title that harkens back to old-school RPGs with some entertaining real-time combat. It was previously released on PC, iOS, and Android in August, and it’s out today on the Nintendo Switch worldwide and PlayStation 4 in Europe (with a North America release for PS4 coming November 14). I played it on Switch, which is a great fit for its pick-up-and-play side quests.
