What players think
The recurring themes across 175 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Okay then the story.
Okay then the likes, the gameplay is pretty good, it's your standard sidescroller get from point A to point B, but what helps to make this gameplay stand out is the fact that we can do close quarters and long-range combat.
The pixel Graphics art style is really good it captures the feel of classic side scrollers from back in the day, with its rich use of colors, it's visuals, it's designs and nicely detailed environments, its vary nostalgic and you can tell the creators really wanted to capture that feeling of older style games.
Complementing the visuals is a lively soundtrack that maintains a sense of momentum throughout the adventure.
You can play with a gamepad (which I strongly recommend) or with your keyboard.
ive just bought Super catboy as both a cat obsesive and late eighties born; gamer. only just getting into it but it works amazing on the steam deck,its extremely chalenging in places but anyone who grew up gaming on 8/16 bit will be very at home without the rampant checkpoints, unlimited lives or spoonfed instructions.
