Gato Roboto Features

Players assume the role of Kiki the cat, guiding her through tons of enemies and obstacles to rescue her Captain. Kiki has a variety of mech suits at her disposal, offering traversal through land, sea, and even the air.

  • Explore the underground labyrinth of a deep space outpost and uncover the dastardly deeds that unfolded before your arrival.
  • Blast and dash your way through enemies and obstacles in an agile mech suit to face the guardians stationed precariously throughout the base.
  • Cautiously venture outside the mech and risk all nine lives to explore areas inaccessible to your bulky, mechanical armor.
  • Discover secrets abound and gather new weapons and items to help open up new areas on your journey through dozens of handcrafted environments.

Gato Roboto looks like a fun romp for people who enjoy the Metroidvania-style gameplay. You can pick it up on May 30 for $7.99. We’ll have a review coming for the game soon, since this is the type of game I can’t resist. Devolver Digital has been on fire with its support for the Switch, too. Switch and PC are the two main platforms for release.
