I'm worried the whole game will simply be blocks and cavern looking settings which may grow bland without variety, but I don’t know what the future stages for Gato Roboto hold.Īlthough the overall design of a metroidvania is obvious with backtracking and getting access to new areas with new gear, the combat and design of the singular boss I've faced reminded me of a lot of Mega Man. It's utterly beautiful in its design and although I've only played through the first 30 minutes, the design of the enemies and one-boss I've battled alongside the world was amazing. Don't get hit with any bullets, Kitty, that'd be a bad kitty.Īpart from its humour, which I'm sure will be hit and miss - especially considering the location for the planet you land is 4-2-0-6-9 - there is the stunning black and white pixel art style that makes Gato Roboto stand out from other recent games in similar genres. Kitty is a lot more nimble and able to run up walls and gets access to areas you can't in the suit, but you can not fight back while in the suit. While it seems you'll spend the majority of your time in the suit while making your way around the planet of Gato Roboto, firing off rockets and whatever growing arsenal the in-game menu teases I'll unlock, you can leave the suit to track down secrets in small passages. With your owner trapped inside the ship, it's up to you to save the day, which thankfully does become increasingly easier once you somehow manage to find a mech-suit to jump on into, power up and get the ability to fight back the creepy crawly variety of bugs and toads that are around looking to do you harm. Gato Roboto puts you in the paws of a kitty who, thanks to their owner, has crash landed on some alien planet. Gato Roboto is weird for sure, but in my first half hour of hands-on time, I can see a potential standout in the title from developer doinksoft in what is becoming a crowded market of metroidvania titles. As a cat piloting a mech, firing rockets and an automatic weapon - I did battle with a mouse, that also was piloting some sort of mechanical machine suit.
