Today marks the launch of Cats on Duty, a quirky new real-time strategy tower defense game from ESDigital Games, available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and PC. If you’re into cats, strategy, and a little bit of match-3 madness, this one might catch your eye.
So what’s this game all about? Imagine battle-hardened cats defending their turf, and their litter boxes, against an army of creepy creatures, including zombies. The developers describe it as a blend of real-time strategy, tower defense, and match-3 mechanics. Yeah, it sounds like a lot, but it’s supposed to be a fun combo.
Tactical Tower Defense: You’ll be placing various cat soldiers equipped with weapons ranging from rifles to ninjas wielding sharp blades. The goal? Stop the baddies dead in their tracks. It’s all about positioning and timing, kinda like chess but with way more fur and sass.
Unleash the Cattitude: Each feline warrior has its own personality and special abilities, so expect some epic cat fights, playful antics, and a ton of adorable meows. Honestly, who doesn’t want sass and strategy in one package?
Match-3 Mayhem: This isn’t your typical tower defense game. You’ll connect gems on a resource field to earn currency for building and upgrading your cat towers. It’s inspired by classics like Plants vs Zombies and Tower Swap, but with a feline spin that adds a fresh twist.
