While the concept of a small, furry animal piloting a large, threatening mech is a little bit, uh, *holds up spork,* Gato Roboto managed to win me over from its first reveal. I just loved the dumb little cat, the music, and that killer logo (so much so I set it as my phone wallpaper for a while). Plop a Devolver Digital splash screen in the trailer and I was sold.
Promising a small but tightly designed “Catroidvania” (Christ), Gato Roboto holds up its end of the bargain pretty well. It’s small, sure, but there’s some charm here that, while sort of stock-standard for this kind of indie title, managed to give its cold black and white art style some warmth. There aren’t any big surprises, but I found it pretty refreshing to sit down and knock out in just a handful of hours thanks to some great pacing.
