Cat Quest ~ RIEview


 

As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, I tend to avoid games that require a high level of hand-eye coordination. But you know, there’s a lot of good games out there that need this skill, take Final Fantasy and Genshin Impact for example. I was ready to give up and avoid staring at the beautiful graphics when the Cat Quest went on sale in the App Store. For a short period of time it was free, and I caved in and downloaded it. How was it, you may ask? Well, read on to find out!


Game Plot 


The story begins in Felingard, set in the medieval age and where anthropomorphic cats exist. All is well and perfect until the dragons attack, of course. The only cat that can defeat the dragons – Dragonblood. But one day the Dragonblood disappeared, and the rest of the cats were left to defend themselves against the dragons. You play as the protagonist, who sets off to rescue his catnapped sister and subsequently discovers that he’s a Dragonblood! Together, you will embark on a journey to discover the truth behind the heritage of being a Dragonblood, and the sinister being that lurks behind the veil.

Verdict (4.5/5)

So far I’m loving the plot! I enjoy learning more about Felingard through the stories in the side quests, not so much about the main story as I’m too busy trying to level up instead of suicidally attempt much harder levels beyond my capability.


Character Diversity & Personality 

While not much is known about the protagonist, the developers have done well to introduce Spirry, a sidekick and assistant to the protagonist. Spirry is also a guide that functions to provide assistance to us players, as we don’t know about Felingard or how things work in the game.

Verdict (4/5)

So far I love the characters, while some NPCs have minor and repetitive lines, others like Kit Cat and Spirry are pretty interesting. With the interactions players can have with the NPC, gradually players will be able to figure out what happened to Felingard post-disappearance of the Dragonbloods, and how the protagonist’s appearance will change things hereon.


Game & CG Art

Very cute and whimsical art. Lots of interesting cats as far as the eyes can see, lots of cute-looking but deadly enemies, and good use of bright colours to engage the player's interests.

Verdict (4.5/5)

While I find that the cats drawn in this game aren’t as cute as some other games, the graphics in this game are still top-notch quality!


Game Mechanics


As with most open world RPG, there are main and side quests. Players are given the freedom to complete the side quests anytime during the main quest, though it is important to note that all side quests require a certain player level before players can embark on said quest. Aside from battling enemies roaming through Felingard, there are caves marked with the required player level containing enemies and chests. 



You can equip the protagonist with useful parts of armor and skills, which you can purchase (yes you can purchase skills!) and/or upgrade with coins. You can get coins by completing quests and defeating enemies. Need to take a break from the game? Head to the nearest town and take a nap. No, I’m not kidding. When the protagonist takes a nap, not only his health (i.e. HP) and mana (i.e. MP) recovers, and at the same time you are saving your game progress.

Verdict (4.5/5)

I was worried that I couldn’t pick it up easily, but with the tutorial I came to learn how easy the gameplay is. For someone that absolutely panic presses all available buttons in RPGs before Cat Quest, this game is like a breath of fresh air.


In-Game Events

N/A


Cat Quest is a good game for all you RPG lovers out there. If you're an amateur to RPGs like me, this game is a good introduction to RPG. Personally I will be mastering my moves in Cat Quest before attempting the more high level RPGs.

Will you give this game a go? Comment your thoughts below!

Happy Gaming!

StoryMe - My Next Life as a Villainess: All routes lead to Doom! ~ Walkthrough

Image
Hey all! Today's post will focus on the walkthrough for one of StoryMe's titles, which shares the same name as the anime it's based on. StoryMe is a similar story app like Choices, which I will give a proper review in another post.  My Next Life as a Villainess: All routes lead to Doom! have a total of 12 episodes. Depending on which character you have the highest affinity with, you will unlock one of the remaining 7 episodes for that character. Each unlocked ending comes with a trophy achievement, seen under the story title in the list of episodes.  The 2 main currencies in StoryMe are keys and diamonds. Keys are used to read an episode, even if you are re-reading the same episode in your subsequent run to unlock a new ending. As for diamonds, you can use them to select diamond choices, with each choice costing 20 diamonds. These choices will be in blue in the walkthrough below. If you had selected a diamond choice in a previous run, the diamond choice will now be free in

Time Princess - Have you seen Claudia? Walkthrough

Image
Finally finished this story. Honestly, while I'm fond of mystery novels like Sherlock Holmes, Have you seen Claudia? veers off from just a typical mystery where you take on the main protagonist role of searching for Claudia. Yes, like all mystery plots there's also other layers that need to be unveiled. But well, getting to the root of the mystery wasn't easy for me this round. If I could compare, it's the same feeling I had while playing Vittorio's route in Gotham Memoirs (also by Time Princess).  One thing similar to Gotham Memoirs is the trigger warnings right before you buy/start the story. If you're not okay with the triggers, I suggest you skip it. Or at least, tap quickly through the plot for the sake of the outfits. One last thing before we delve into the walkthrough, I want to give a shout out to AquaTofana87  for their very helpful comment on the Time Princess Wikia. With that said, hopefully this walkthrough will be of help to you too.  Have you seen

  For Time Princess, I decided to play the stories according to their release date. Dancing on Ice naturally became on my next story after finishing up White Snake, and so here's the walkthrough! A little forewarning, it gets a little complex in Chapter 2 with the options, so it did take me a while to figure out how to get that other ending even with the hints. But not to worry! I've specifically noted the right stage to go to. Ready to start? Read on! Dancing on Ice: 2 Chapters - Chapter 1 has 15 stages, Chapter 2 has 19 stages
