Not bad!

I used to play Battle Cats a lot. I kept on seeing this Cats the Commander so I decided to play it. It was different than I thought. Plus IGNITION, The name Isanagi got used on a random Legend Rare from Battle Cats. Plus you need actual INFO on the 7 Heroes, not just some stupid manga. But I LOVE THIS GAME. I play it more than Battle Cats. Plus here’s a glitch, One of my cats is a dog. So it’s weird when you see them say “Meow! I need to go to the bathroom” come out of his mouth, since he’s a dog. (I’m talking about Mocca.) Still, the game is FUN. Edit: I was looking through the series album and one of the events had Cat Master in a bikini 💀💔

A very good game if you also like Battle Cats but might run poorly on some devices.

I play both this and Battle Cats in tandem and really enjoy both of them. Honestly in some ways Cats the Commander might be the improvement, auto-battle isn’t a resource you can run out of, replaying already beaten levels has a built in speed-up function, getting the in-game currency (gems) for free is much easier than getting it in Battle Cats (cat food), unit designs vary a lot more than Battle Cats, and you are able to unlock U.S.R units of your choice after opening enough gatchas which Battle Cats does not have. However it is a lot less strategic than Battle Cats which might become boring for some people but the biggest issue is the performance sometimes. I will give them the benefit of the doubt since my iPhone is rather old but my game freezes constantly and even slows down my iPhone itself in which case it takes an annoyingly long time to close and re-open the app. I have never had a problem even remotely similar with Battle Cats. In conclusion, if you like Battle Cats at all you owe it to yourself to at least try Cats the Commander, it’s different enough and is almost like a sudo-unofficial-sequel in a way, other than the performance issues it’s a near perfect mobile game that needs a lot more much needed love, especially in the fan-art department.

It’s not that bad.

I have seen other people’s reviews on this, and quite a few times have I seen where they say it’s just a copy of The Battle Cats. Now, there’s no denying, there’s definitely some inspiration taken from it, but game wise I think it is pretty different. First of all, the gameplay itself. It’s similar, as in you send out troops, they go fight for you, they have a cost for each troop, and all that mumbo jumbo. I’d say that that’s not something unique, there are plenty of games that do that kind of thing. Also with the weapons, The Battle Cats don’t have something similar really, unless you count the orbs, but those are pretty drastic compared to how often you come across them. Also, the weapons in Cats The Commander don’t just boost some trait for one specific thing, they have several of their own traits. Another different thing is that you don’t have specific health for the target of the enemies, and instead it’s a three hit system. And when you do get hit, you gain a lot of cat power to send out more troops. There isn’t really anything in The Battle Cats that’s really similar, so you can’t say that’s an exact copy. Now, second, designs. The main character being a white cat I can’t argue isn’t a copy, the teacher looks pretty similar compared to the Cat God from The Battle Cats, plus the characters you send out also look pretty similar compared to the style of the characters from The Battle Cats. I’d say they copy the pattern of more common characters you get in the gacha aspect of the game being cat characters, while the more rarer ones are actual people, is true, but style is hard to say is a copy. They both have the same style, yes, but it’s just a style. There are plenty of games that have similar styles for characters, so it’s hard to say if that’s exactly a copy. Basically, they do have the same style. Everything together, I’d say what’s causing all of the concerns and all that is the inclusion of mostly cat characters, and the similarities of some characters compared to some in The Battle Cats. Also the way you approach stages in that you have stamina that recharges over time, and each stage costs more and more stamina. Plus the layout of the map. Those are striking similarities between the two that are hard to miss. I think if they changed those few things (getting away from cat characters, changing how you are able to play stages, and getting different designs for some characters that seem more original), then all of those issues wouldn’t be a problem. Overall, it’s not a bad game, just needs changes in how things look.

★★★★☆ United States · v8.3.3 · 20 Nov 2023

It’s good but…

It’s a good game. The animations are good, the gameplay is entertaining. There are a few issues. Number 1 is how very difficult it is to get gems in this game…it’s a very arduous and long process to get even 1 multi summon. 500 gems for 10 summons is quite high for the actual amount of gems you can get from completing challenges. The second issue I have with the game is how long it takes to evolve a unit. It takes lots of resources to evolve a unit just 3 times which for some units isn’t even their max evolution. The game would get a 5 star review if not for those two issues, the gem one mainly.

GREAT Gameplay

As a Battle Cats player, I enjoy this game very much. In almost every way that it’s different from battle cats, I think it is better. The combat is much more involved making for some interesting battles. The one and only reason I won’t give it 5 stars is the gacha event advertisement spam every day. I get that you want to make money, and I could even see myself making purchases in the future. However, I find it incredibly annoying to have to click through a ton of pop up’s everyday in an attempt to make a purchase. Then, at the end, you see a graphic displaying all of the events at once that allows you to click through them. Just show that!

This game looks fun, also looks a lot familiar to the popular game called “the battle cats” the general mechanics in this game are identical to battle cats in terms of like put out a thing, they have a cooldown, you also need energy or whatever, money, is usually what it is in battle cats to put out a other one. So please make it you own turn too the game. Thanks -Ablivitz.

A gacha game that’s unique and fun to play

To all the people thinking “this is another shill/fake review,” I assure you I have plenty to add. First of all, this game does plenty to differentiate itself from other gacha games. Its gameplay uses a physics-based combat system, where the units’ sprites accurately depict its hitbox and collisions fling them a distance based on their weight and the attack. Some units shoot projectiles that have their own hitbox and can have their own size, velocity, and special effects. Weapons, a feature you can add to your units, not only affect the damage output of a unit, but can drastically change how they function. These aspects combined can give way to some really creative enemy/unit designs. The game also makes an effort to bring players closer together. Salvages, failing a battle and letting players “save you” by progressing through the stage, can earn players rewards for completing them, and people can intentionally set these up to give players certain resources. Arena and Celestial Tower are competitive modes that have players fighting for the biggest score, whether it be fighting other players’ teams or progressive through an increasingly difficult trial, and you can see who you’re beating and who’s beating you. Raid is also competitive but has teams going ham on a boss to earn points versus other teams. Some other miscellaneous things I like about the game: The art quality and music are consistently great, especially the backgrounds and character designs. There is new content constantly being made, whether it be story content, USRs, or weapons. The Voting banners are genuinely a genius idea and are a great incentive to pick up the game. Megiddo forcing you to use specific units is a nice break from using more powerful units by default. Watching ads is actually worth your time, either giving you stamina refills or free gems. There is always a new banner during the beginning of each year that’s great without fail and is always something to look forward to. Now here’s the inevitable section of what I dislike: Some banners have a great unit surrounded by very mediocre units, basically baiting your resources for a needle in a haystack. The removal of black tickets only puts salt on the wound. Some banners just aren’t worth your resources entirely and feel due for a buff, and it honestly feels like they prey on uneducated players thinking they’re getting good tools for their team. Unfortunately, many (though not all) units that aren’t USRs from the gacha are destined to be bad beyond midgame. Getting and even KNOWING what useful USRs to get is the only true way of having and edge against hard stages and meaner Arena participants, let alone the luck you need to get them. Waiting for a particular non-seasonal banner can take literal MONTHS, and even then, some rotations do not have the banner USR guaranteed. Getting good advice is difficult if you aren’t part of a dedicated Discord community, as the playerbase is very disjointed and small. If you want a more quality opinion of the game, please give it a try. I’m sure it will be worth your time.
