Gato Roboto is a Metroidvania-style video Game developed by doinksoft and published by Devolver Digital. The title was released on May 30, 2019, for Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch platforms and is a 2D side-scrolling action-adventure Game featuring a cat piloting a mech suit, exploring an underground facility, and battling against enemies.

 

The Game starts with the player controlling a cat named Kiki, who accidentally crashes her owner's spaceship onto a mysterious planet. To find a way to fix the ship, Kiki must explore the underground facility of the earth while wearing a mech suit. Throughout the Game, Kiki will encounter various enemies, and the player must use the mech suit's weapons and abilities to defeat them.

 

 

Gameplay 

 

Gato Roboto is similar to other Metroidvania-style games. The player must explore the Game world, find new abilities and upgrades, and use them to access previously inaccessible areas. The Game features a non-linear world, which means the player can explore it in any order they like.

 

Its mechanics are straightforward to understand. The player controls Kiki's movements, and the mech suit's weapons and abilities are mapped to different buttons. The mech suit can shoot projectiles, dash, and wall jump, which the player can use to navigate the environment and defeat enemies.

 

 

Story

 

It is relatively simple but effective. As Kiki explores the underground facility, she uncovers the planet's history and the experiments conducted there. The story is told through the interactions between Kiki and the other characters she meets and the environmental storytelling in the Game world.
