Gato Roboto is a metroidvania with an interesting art style, seemingly inspired by the ZX Spectrum. You take on the role of Kiki the cat as she attempts to save her owner, Lieutenant Gary from the wreckage of his crashed spaceship. Is this one worth a go?

Let me know what you think of this one. Do metroidvanias have to take hours and hours or are you happy for a shorter, more streamlined experience sometimes? Happy gaming. Glen

95% of platformers these days seem to be metroidvanias. I'm sick of them. So many games look really interesting until I find out they're metroidvanias. I still go on the Nintendo online thing and play mario 3 over and over again because it's so much more linear, and addictive because of that

I always loved the old Metroid games because I did not feel pressured with a lot of missions at once. The games were about having one grand mission and exploring through the rest of the game on your own and learning as you go. This will absolutely be a game that I pick up today and try out for myself because I love most titles that Devolver puts out. Thank you so much for this great review and bringing this title to the light for me Glen!

I was having loads of fun with this game until I got to the part right after you get spin jump. You have to do a series of spin jumps with rocket boosts to get over a long pit otherwise you fall down to a lower level and have to go back up and try again. I tried about 50 times over an hour and still was no closer to figuring out exactly what this game was wanting me to do to get over this pit, so I said fuck it. But before that, there was some deceptively challenging and fun bosses. It's too bad they threw in the cryptic spin jump pit because it ended the fun, and the entire game for me. The first hour or so was worth the $5 I paid for this.

It’s like a Metroidvania for kids and it actually has a fair price. It feels that I expected much more than there actually is. It’s a good small game with many flaws. I didn’t find any secrets and has no passion to search. Enemies are skippable since there is no point to fight - no loot, no energy restore. The game is pretty linear and I just wanted to rush to the next area/boss. Boss fights are a bit too long - they have 2 or 3 easily remembered patterns and you just have to shoot and survive for few minutes. Music is generic and reminds me of Binding of Isaac and Metroid at the same time. Sounds of shooting and walking in the mech costume are loud and annoying. There are a lot of questionable design choices like when you’re escaping the suit the cat stands on the gun and often this pose blocks a narrow path you were going into. I still do not understand how wall walking works. And... The gun only heats to 100 degrees? Like boiling water?

Yeah, the lack of colors isn't my cup of tea. Sure, it creates interesting visuals, but colors aren't just in games to make the world pretty. They are there to give the player subtle visual informations. And like you said, enemies blend in with the scenery. For some people, it's an "interesting design choice", but for people who loves good gamedesign, this is a huge fail. Also, 6-8 hours is absolutely normal for a Metroidvania. Other big Metroidvanias just add many things for 100% completion and 17 hours worth of content, but it's mostly grinding and replaying on harder difficulties.

6-8 was for close to 100% completion. It’s a short metroidvania for sure. I. Agree with you that artistic style is great but the visuals need to do their job and guide the player first and foremost. Glen

I agree with you that color visuals would have been nice, but too many Metroidvanias look EXACTLY alike because of similar color palettes and generally similar sprites. I feel the black and white graphics works wonderful to make the game stand out. If it was colored, would it have garnered as much attention, who knows? I know BECAUSE it’s black and white and really inexpensive and a quick play through, I’ve never hit a play button on a review so fast. The developers did their job in garnering attention! 😊

​@@magusvirga Yeah, it surely draws attention. But I wouldn't agree that too many Metroidvanias look the same, since I have quite a few of them on Steam: "Dust: AET", "Axiom Verge", "Bunny Must Die", "Cave Story", "La Mulana 1&2", "Rabi-Ribi" "Rex Rocket", "Shantae 1-3", "Strider" ,"Unepic", "Valdis Story". Every single one has a different visual feel to it and they really don't look alike.

Why people use the “MetroidVania” term too much??? For me it’s a mixture between Ally Cat + Tower Toppler, but you young people think that there are two games that influenced on our video games.

Because it's a Metroivania I guess

The term metroidvania has entered the gaming vocabulary these days whether we like it or not. It’s the quickest and easiest way to describe the gameplay to the masses. Glen

Great graphics and mechanics but the game is far too hard for its own good. Be ye warned. Shame.
