Review of Crazy Cats vs. Crazy Cyborgs for PlayStation 5

Hey there. So, there’s this game, right? Crazy Cats vs. Crazy Cyborgs. No joke, it’s a shoot ‘em up thing from Xeneder Team. You’re basically Princess Anna, saving all the cat people (because why not?) from these invading cyborgs. Mind you, I have a soft spot for anything with “crazy” in the title. Always makes things sound wild.

Now, listen, this game’s core vibe is all about keeping it simple. Like, really minimalist. I’ve checked out some of Xeneder Team’s other brainchildren – remember Lasso Catch and Happi Basudei? Maybe you don’t. Anyway, maneuvering Princess Anna is super intuitive. Just fiddle with the left stick to dodge around, while she’s constantly firing at foes. It’s kinda automatic — and, honestly, at first, it felt way too slow for my patience. I mean, who needs extra tension when I’m already dodging left and right like a cat on caffeine?

Okay, the one saving grace? There’s this upgrade system that swoops in to save the day. Every time you kick the bucket, your hard-earned coins are still safe for upgrades. Fire rate, more damage, or even these weird little creature allies? You can have it all. It’s one of those games where dying just sends you back one level. So, trial and error? Totally encouraged. I had some trial, plenty of error.

And the upgrades feel like, BAM, instant power-up. Like, do you want firey death faster or a cute little creature army? By the halfway mark in the game, you feel like you could take on an army of robots in your sleep. And after you beat those 11 levels, surprise! It starts all over, harder this time. I guess they call it ‘replay value.’ Or maybe just messing with us.

Oh, about those visuals. There’s this vibrant, retro vibe, taking me back to the 16-bit days. Nostalgia trip, anyone? The backgrounds scroll like magic, really. Sound’s okay-ish. Not Mozart, but not nails on a chalkboard either—just does its job.

For trophy chasers, you’re in luck. This game practically hands out a Platinum trophy like candy. Just 11 straightforward tasks and boom, platinum goodness is yours. And guess what? Cross-Buy feature’s here. So, one buy and you get both PS4 and PS5 versions. Two Platinums in under 30 minutes. Talk about efficiency!

In short, Crazy Cats vs. Crazy Cyborgs gives you a straightforward ride with good progression and an easy trophy setup. While the shooting might feel a bit restrictive at first, the upgrades make it worth it. Those visuals hit the sweet spot, though the soundtrack lags a bit behind. Ideal for trophy hunters but if you’re just in for a quick fling, it’s just $2.99 and you’re set for both the PS4 and PS5 versions. Pocket change for feline heroics, right?
