ARMORED KITTEN

2d cat doom

This is the game that I never knew I needed. I did not know such a game existed. It combines my two favorite things, Kittens and Blood. Who needs vampire survivor when you have an armored Kitten. The headbanging metal music is the perfect background music for shooting things and making them explode into pieces. This game is not for the young ones in the family. It is on sale for .69cents, come on that is only 69 more pennies than free. Get this game!!!

Boring, repetitive and without any moment of fun, avoid it. The combat system is inexistent, the rpg part is only for grinding and to make the game to last longer. If the doom inspired graphics on the storefront caught your attention be aware that aside the copy(cat) it has nothing to do with doom's gameplay. Big, bad and ugly...

HELL YEAH

It's a mindless zen kinda game.

For many people this game would get boring very fast, however for me I find it a quiet focus while I'm thinking about other things. Kinda like rolling prayer beads thru the fingers, or chewing gum, or throwing a tennis ball over and over against a wall. The game is simple and grindy, can be played easy by repeating levels over and over to buy weapons, armour and skills. Or hardcore, by shooting and dodging thru each level with bare minimum gear..... And it can be easily played with the sound off (while you are socialising on discord or whatever.)

Don't expect to much for the price. It's just a basic side scroll shooter with a cute cat. So if you don't like to zen while gaming, this isn't for you. Buy on sale maybe....

This game would honestly be "Okay" if it were still in early access.
But there are just too many bugs.
The biggest issue here is that the devs seem to rely on the community to fix the issue with the game not launching on Intel and requires a work around where you need to add a system variable.

Aside from that, gameplay is highly repetitive, and not in a good way.
After unlocking the semi-auto shotgun, other weapon pickups stop making sense and picking one up in game will actually be more like a handicap.

The sprite layering also seems to be clearly broken, with sprites appearing in front or behind others when they should not.

Unlocking new areas doesn't really offer much in terms of new gameplay experience and everything just feels like a re-skin.

It's also not a great design choice to make the "aim" and "player movement" fight for control over the camera in this game.
Instead all that happens is the character will move and the aim will stay where it was, which feels weird and reduces the available view angle in the portion of the screen you moved to.

Instead it would have been better to take a similar approach to vampire survivors where the camera is also centred on the player.
OR at the very least if you're going to let the aim control the camera then at least make it the only factor that does so.
Don't make player movement and aim both affect it.
It feels weird and isn't fun.

Also, another note to the devs, play test your game... if you play tested the whole game, you would probably catch that you left a level description with placeholder text in it...

On sale at 90% discount, sure, it's fun for about an hour.
More than that, no deal.

ARMORED KITTEN

(ENGLISH + SPANISH)

The concept of the game is fantastic at first glance: a 2D Doom with a cat as the protagonist. It sounds original, appealing, and fun. And, to be fair, the first half of the game delivers a pretty positive experience. The levels are engaging, dynamic, and keep you hooked. However, there’s a major issue that ultimately ruins the experience: the repetitive nature of the levels and objectives.

The main problem is that, instead of keeping you interested with creative or varied challenges, the game starts relying too heavily on quantity over quality. The objectives themselves aren’t particularly hard to complete, but their sheer number becomes exhausting. For example, early in the game, you get missions like "eliminate a certain number of enemies," which is perfectly fine. Let’s say they ask you to take out 20 enemies of a specific type, that’s reasonable and even enjoyable.

But as you progress, the missions become absurd. Suddenly, you’re tasked with eliminating 430 enemies of a specific type that barely even appears in the levels. 430 times! It’s a ridiculous number that not only breaks the flow of the game but completely takes you out of the experience. What started as entertaining and challenging devolves into something repetitive, boring, and frustrating.

This overreliance on unnecessary objectives turns a game with so much potential into something that feels more like a chore than a source of enjoyment. It’s not about difficulty; it’s about poor design that doesn’t respect the player or their time.

While the concept and the first half of the game are interesting, the repetitive levels and absurd number of objectives ultimately sap all the fun out of the experience. I’m really disappointed, but I can’t recommend this game. If you’re someone looking for fun and a good challenge, you’ll likely feel let down when you realize you’re just ticking off an endless to-do list instead of enjoying the game. It’s a shame, because the concept had so much potential.

La idea del juego, a primera vista, está buenísima: un Doom en 2D con un gato como protagonista. Suena original, atractivo y divertido. Y de hecho, durante la primera mitad del juego, la experiencia es bastante positiva. Los niveles son entretenidos, dinámicos y te mantienen enganchado. Sin embargo, hay un problema importante que termina arruinando la experiencia: la repetitividad de los niveles y los objetivos.

El principal inconveniente es que, en lugar de mantenerte interesado con desafíos creativos o variados, el juego empieza a abusar de la cantidad en lugar de la calidad. Los objetivos no son difíciles de completar en sí, pero son excesivos en número y terminan siendo tediosos. Por ejemplo, al principio tenés misiones como "eliminá tal cantidad de enemigos", lo cual está perfecto. Digamos que te piden eliminar 20 enemigos de un tipo específico, y eso resulta razonable y hasta divertido.

Pero a medida que avanzás en el juego, las misiones se vuelven absurdas. De repente, te piden eliminar 430 enemigos de un tipo que apenas aparece en los niveles. ¡430 veces! Es un número ridículo que no solo rompe el ritmo del juego, sino que te saca completamente de la experiencia. Lo que al principio era entretenido y desafiante, termina siendo una tarea repetitiva, aburrida y frustrante.

Ese exceso de objetivos innecesarios transforma un juego con mucho potencial en algo que se siente más como una obligación que como un disfrute. No es cuestión de dificultad; es una cuestión de diseño pobre que no respeta al jugador ni su tiempo.

Si bien la idea y la primera mitad del juego son interesantes, el desgaste que generan los niveles repetitivos y la cantidad absurda de objetivos termina apagando todo el entusiasmo. Lo lamento mucho, pero no puedo recomendar este juego. Si sos alguien que busca diversión y desafío, te vas a decepcionar cuando, en lugar de disfrutar, sientas que estás cumpliendo una lista de tareas interminables. Una lástima, porque el concepto daba para mucho más.

I finished the game for 100% because I couldn't get my money back after the game had a bug that the devs didn't want to fix. In addition, there are several bugs and translation oversights.

Meh

Very fun, but very repetitive, it would be nice to have more variation with the levels (maybe some environmental obstacles).

Planning to buy this for my friends.

I like the game, its quite cute and really fun, unfortunately it gets repetitive from the 5th chapter onward. After that every level was quite predictable, and I was tempted to simply finish some of those in a way the developer did definitely not intend, like;
robot protection, round survival and time survival missions were all easily completed by simply positioning yourself correctly, and putting an item on your left mouse button.

The guns available, and all of the boosts are a really nice touch and quite enjoyable.

Most of the text are either bugged and not readable, or grammatically incorrect, or just not translated.

But the story checks out fine, id like to see this game refined a bit, and to revisit it, once done

finally hopped into this game (base game, not the remaster), and it was pretty nice and fun for the first few missions—then the charm wore off really quick.

this game is extremely monotonous and repetitive, and will have you doing the exact same thing for hours and hours. very little replay value. the game also has a lot of quake and doom inspiration in both the visuals (in design; the graphics look like an old newgrounds flash game), music (extremely quake-inspired), and outfits, but also some blatant rip-offs, like literally using the exact same quake pentagram pickup sound effect. for a game called "armored kitten," the game isn't really cute, either. there's also a lot of instances where the english translations are really bad, places where the text is still fully russian, and even places where there's both english and russian text in the same window, despite having picked the english language. the game is also super loud with no volume-adjustment settings.

all-in-all, it was fun at first, then got extremely boring and repetitious, and was a slog to get through.
