  • Turn-based tactics
  • Roguelite
  • Cats

A turn-based tactical roguelite: you pick four cats from your house, give them a class and send them on an expedition to fight on grids. Back home, they retire and breed: the kittens inherit traits and mutations for the next run.

Why play it now

When you want a long game: Steam promises a 200+ hour campaign, and each expedition can take an hour or more.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys the chaos of Edmund McMillen's roguelites (The Binding of Isaac) and planning bloodlines.

When not to pick it

If toilet humour puts you off, or having luck wreck an expedition after an hour of play.

What it offers

  • Thinking: 80 out of 100
  • Managing: 60 out of 100
  • Creating: 50 out of 100
  • Combat / action: 30 out of 100
