A great Metroidvania with a normal story and good bosses. The pixel art style is really good, and playing as a cat in a mech suit was fun. Cons: Keyboard controls feel a bit clunky; controller use is recommended. Pros: Cat

Fun little metroidvania, nothing too exciting to write about. The unlockable differing color palettes are a nice addition not just for some visual variety but to reduce eye strain at night since the stark black and white can get fatiguing. Definitely worth a pickup at a good price if you're into the genre.

It took me around 3 hours to finish the game, but I must say that those 3 hours are worth the prize. I really enjoyed the game and I think that you should give it a try. 10/10.

Gato Roboto is a charming little microvania that, although it doesn’t make much of an impact, makes for a decently solid entry point into the genre without too much of a time sink or difficulty spike. It’s short, only 3 or so hours, and is pretty easy to boot, with generous save points and easy-to-find upgrades that boost your health quickly. I will warn you that this game is very much a “run of the mill” metroidvania, it takes a lot from NES Metroid without really adding anything of substance. The idea of getting out of your mech for more precise platforming is sort of interesting, but is bogged down by the actual cat controls being weirdly over-reactive to the point where it feels like I’m losing control of my character. You’ll get very standard upgrades, use rockets and regular guns, the level design itself is almost unnoticeably standard, to the point where my brain was kind of turned off for a lot of it. To be fair though, I’ve played my fair share of Metroidvanias already, and this one definitely emanates more of a “beginner vibe”. I did find the style to be pretty cohesive and pretty to look at, I’m always a sucker for a Gameboy-esque aesthetic and it contributed to the microvania feel. Overall, there’s really not much I can find wrong with Gato Roboto, and for what it’s worth, it’s a simple, short game that isn’t too difficult and won’t last in your brain for very long. Not that that’s a bad thing, for its price and size it works well with what it has.

Playtime: 7.9 hrs The graphic style was pretty misleading because as a newbie for action game, I found this game quite hard, especially some of the bosses. That also made some of the achievements quite hard to get, which was a shame. But overall, a nice game and maybe someday I will be able to improve my skill and get those achievements eventually.
