“Gato Roboto is a fun game for anyone that loves Metroid style of games, retro games or just games with cats in it! The levels, bosses, humor, and overall feel of the game is something that no gamer should miss. As the game is a standard game, there is no need for a special controller to be used for the game and the standard controller for the console that you play on is fine for the game. The game is very user friendly and easy to control. As you go through the game more abilities and power ups will be assigned to the controller.

The left thumb stick controls the cat/mech/character and there is a button to use your primary weapon and a jump button. Controls for Gato Roboto are quite simple to control. In our play testing, we did not run into any issues with the audio.

The game is in 5.1 surround sound as well 2.0 stereo sound, and honestly its sounds fine in either sound settings.

The background audio matches the areas that you are in and creates the feel of 8-bit gaming. The game does not have spoken dialog but more of a babble when the characters are talking, and the story is told by text on the screen. As you would expect from a game like this, all the 8-bit sounds from weapons fire, to background music, enemy sounds and boss battles. The game in its design and gameplay nature is to be a throwback of 8-bit gaming. Audio in Gato Roboto is also very 8-bit in its audio design. In our play testing, we did not encounter any issues with the game graphics. The game does have a “color mode” (we will go more into this in our Family Friendly section of the review) and as the game does not offer a colorblind mode, there is no difficulty for anyone with a colorblind type to play the game. The game story is told via text and the text on the screen is quite easy to read during gameplay. Gato Roboto is extremely easy to see on any screen and play the game. Graphics are drawn in a pixel style where it is incredibly detailed to see what is going on and tell what the enemy is, to background and other game assets. The game is like playing an old school game on the original Game Boy from years ago. The Game Visuals are presented in black and white. The game is all about exploration of the game world and using new acquired abilities to reach other areas, those that have played any type of Metroid game will be right at home with this great game. Gato Roboto is a Metroid style of game where you play as a cat and go into different zones to find new power ups, abilities and other secrets to help your human pilot that crashed and cannot get out of his ship. Play as a cat in a mech shoot in this Metroid inspired style adventure game where you must help you human from crashing onto alien world and find out what is going on with the alien outbreak.
