"The world map is an RPG fixture going back to some of the earliest games in the genre. Leaving town to travel the world by foot or airship, getting a glimpse of the entire world laid out tells you just how far you have to go and all the danger lying in your way. In a new game on PlayStation Plus, the map becomes the world itself, flipping an RPG tradition on its head for an uncharacteristically cute pirate adventure."
"The action in Cat Quest III is its real draw, though. The map serves as the world itself, with enemies wandering its surface on top of landmarks and place names. You have a lot of freedom in where to travel right from the very beginning. Wading from dry land to shallow water will automatically put your feline pirate in a pool float to paddle away from shore, and you can call your ship at any of the conveniently placed docks scattered around the map."
Cat Quest III is a top-down action RPG featuring anthropomorphic animal characters on nautical adventures. The game turns the world map into the playable overworld, with enemies roaming visible landmarks and place names. Players can travel freely from the start, transition seamlessly between land and shallow water, use a pool float to paddle away, and summon a ship at docks. The tone is self-aware and pun-filled, favoring lighthearted, cartoon-like writing over traditional RPG loftiness. Combat is emphasized both on land and at sea, and the presentation and accessibility make the game suitable for younger players and experienced RPG fans alike.
