Hey SwitchUP Family - Whether you’re a cat or a dog person (or neither) this is going to appeal to fans of CO-OP ARPG goodness. Such a reasonable price for the quality of game as well. Anyone picking this up? Mark
SwitchUp most definitely grabbing this one. I was able to jump in and out easily of the first one without trying to remember things. I also easily lost track of time playing the first. Great game.
Yeah very cool title indeed! My daughter seemed to know where we were heading haha! Mark
SwitchUp I had thought about the first game to try with the kids. But with this having actual coop that’s tempting.
Cory the first game is only 1 player, but it is still a great one for the kids.
when I bought my switch I had no money for games right away. I think cat quest 1 was on sale at the time. it's the first game I ever bought and beat on switch. I also ended up buying it physical. preordered the second. Devs said we get a physical if it sells well. cant wait to play!!!!
"Decision made based on who was the oldest..." Absolutely love that!
This game looks like a wonderful distraction. Judging from the comments, the first one was very well received and that price point makes it even more attractive. That is a yes for me.
For sure mate, a very might hearted experience. Mark
the reason why I love your reviews is because you always put the price and the file size of the game keep it up.. and thanks for the review :) ..
You're most welcome! Mark
I’ve been replaying this with my dad and it’s a blast. We finished it around a year and a half ago and we are going back through it in preparation for cat quest 3 and the graphics and gameplay still hold up 5 years later.
Always looking for new co-op games to bring over to my brother's house, you're doing the lords work!
Girlfriend and I are getting a cat today, might be the most appropriate game to pick up!
Hold this ratio
I have three cats, I've been ready for cat quest 3 for a while now
They are sister and brother 😂
Little late for a comment but I just finished this and started New Game + and I still love this game. It's just really entertaining and collecting and upgrading the gear and spells keeps me hooked. Got it for $6 and couldn't be happier!
I finished the original Cat Quest over the weekend coincidentally enough! It was bite sized but addictive gaming. The hours kinda just disappeared and when I looked up it was 1:30am! They managed to distill the ARPG essentials into a light hearted game that anyone could pick up and have a good time with. I'm glad this continued into the 2nd game. They'll prob bundle the 1st and 2nd game together physically.
I can tell you from personal experience, it's a sad day when you find out that your daughter is better at games than you are.
I'm glad there's a few of us mate! Mark

@@SwitchUpYt ???
Loved loved loved the first game! Definitely picking up this one too.
It's great fun! Mark
Just got it today on my switch! Its a gr8 game
Just grabbed this from the eshop for $2.99! Thanks for the review!
At last a new game I can recommend for coop play and children. I loved the first one and the coop addition really helps!
The aesthetic made it very beautiful. Its honestly amazing.
Great game mate for sure! Mark
*ameowzing
@@biaslina Lol
The first game was such a surprise when i picked it up on sale. It was fun and this one looks just as good. When u played with ur daughter it was purrrfect. I saw what u did there.
Hehehe you got it!
I do not know why, but this is one of my most anticipated titles. The first game tickled my toe beans.
Congrats guys. Excellent channel and look forward to many more. Cat quest 1 was wicked and defo will be getting number 2
Cheers mate yeah 1 was a great gem
I played the first one when it went on sale a while back, and I couldn’t stop playing it. Since they announced this one I’ve been eagerly awaiting its arrival! Here’s looking forward to loads more un-purr-able puns!
OOF! You’re hired! Mark
SwitchUp ha ha ha, I’ll take it!
Thanks for the review I didn’t even know this was coming out, I really loved the first game, this review really helped me decide to pick it up!
I loved the first game. I jumped right into new game + after beating it, but chose poorly when it came to the modifiers and didn't get very far.
Ok this review made me buy the first cat quest, even if you didn't need to, just can't wait for what is next for the developer
Great stuff mate, you'll love it. Mark
Definitely picking this up. My son and I played the first game quite a bit. Sad that I cannot bring over my character, 'Sir Meows-A-Lot' to this game. lol.
Oh man what a great name! Mark
Part 2 yay 😁, I’ve been waiting on this review. Yes I got the first one.. can’t wait to play it.. awesome review Mark like always man 👍🏽👍🏽😁
Cheers my dude. Was liking your bling bling cat walk photos on Twitter! Think they were with family. Very cool. Mark
SwitchUp thanks Mark
Got me thinking they should remaster the Gamecube Four Swords game. Without needing a grands worth of hardware to run it. Nice looking game, cheers for the review x
Grabbed the first one after seeing it on GGQ. Definitely grabbing this one, first was so much fun.
This has dipped under a fiver (euro) so think I might snap it up now. Oh, and you've gained almost 200,000 subs since this review, GG.
This one looks interesting! Will keep my paw on it! 😆
This looks fun, cheers for the review
Cheers David! Good day? Mark
Autocorrect changed Mark to nah arghhhh
I picked up the Telltale Batman games on Switch so have been playing them all day!
Nice game, I really want to play this with my friend. But does this have online coop or it is only local? I would need online to play with him...
I was looking for a Secret of Mana type local coop game for my small kids that are gaming for the first time. So glad I found this gem. They absolutely love it and it is their first day playing. It has more complicated mechanics than Secret of Mana or any SNES game for sure but no where near as complicated as any other ARPG such as Diablo series that would require at least 8 yr olds to get into. This game is just the perfect game to introduce kids into gaming
Cheers for this Mark, nice little co-op based rpg lite.
Exactly that mate! How’s your week going so far dude? Mark
@@SwitchUpYt Busy, just had a booking at work and stuff to clean so not much time on the Switch but will get on it soon.
Just brought the first one for £3 surprised how good it is will get number 2 aswell prob when on sale.
I just got 1 and 2 for $11 on sale. I truly have been missing out on this gem. I have to add that ranged for me wasn't necessarily the easiest. I built a tank of a melee character.
Great review. I can't wait to finally play this game tomorrow. :)
ahh the first game was a pretty good time on my phone,glad to see this one come by
I completely forgot about this video (I took a nap) but here I am! Any chance to play a kitty I'm here for it!
Absolutely loved the first one I can't wait to play it
Sounds good. And nice review
But one of the games available in Apple Arcade for my $5 this month (with Tangle Tower, that is also $20 on Switch). Mobile games are a hard sale on Switch right now
Game looks super fun, may be a good option for me and my girlfriend
Kids great fun! Mark
The art style of this game is gorgeous. Reminds me sort of the overworld in Octopath. Let's see where it goes from here.
Yes that’s a really good comparison actually! Mark
If you have octopath on pc you can turn off the blurry thing and upscale the graphics. It's a really easy fix and the game goes from looking "pretty" to absolutely gorgeous.
@@JonasRosenven Actually like the Bravely Default battle system more than Octopath's so I skipped it but thanks for the tip.
Not sure if somebody is still going to see this but - do I need another full controller for the second player?
I Love Cat Quest 1! Gonna buy cat Quest 2 for sure thanks for the Review!
You're welcome David! Thanks dude. Mark
Played the first title on PC and can't wait to play the second one on my new Switch!
I love this and the first game. So hyped for CQ3
Love this game! Very good review
Thanks Axel! Mark
I love Cat Quest. Taking down foes with a kitty, what a brilliant idea :D I am a bit concerned about the saving option. So the cat nap cannot save the progress anymore? It seems logical when only one player needs to restore health but.. less useful.
Thanks for the review. Too much to play at the moment to pick this one up, but I do want to try it at some point.
Taking notes 📝
Watching this vid I thought your were showing footage of the first one. I think I will nog get this one altough I love the first one.
Gonna hold out for a physical, it will look purrfect next the first one...sorry had to do it
thank you for the great review!
Oh dang my niece hopefully won’t see this she was obsessed with the first one, although the 2 player aspect seems more appealing 😏
Thanks for the review, crying now.
Dont know what to get anymore Sword of Ditto is on sale at the moment now this has released 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
This is a more complete game in my opinion. Mark
I've really been looking forward to this one. it's so cute I can't say no.
If I could add ONE thing to both of these games it would be a cutom waypoint market for the HUGE map
Another game to add to the list...looking at picking up Android battle Cactus,pictoquest,Sayonara wild heats and untitled goose game...very picky when it comes to buying games these days and it always helps to watch your reviews first😎👍
I liked the first cat quest a lot for some reason
For me it was just easy, ligh heartet and fun. It was a game I played much longer than I ever expected to.
This
My soon really enjoyed the first one, sounds like he'd enjoy this one too!
I think he definitely would. Being able to play together is great. Mark
Hi switch up been watching ur reviews, lovin it so far. May I ask if cat quest 2 can also be played single player mode like cat quest 1? And can I disable that white partner of the main character?
Playing the first one now, loving it! Do you guys know if there will be a physical release of the second?
1:22 The Greater Good
Exactly! Mark
Ty again my dudes. Any chance you'll be reviewing fury unleashed when it's out?
The game is adorable! Also great review.
You sold me on this I have been almost grabbing so many times its on sale so I'm game
This is quite a fun game but my only gripe is the framerate slowdown when a lot of action is happening during battle.
Can you play as dogs instead of cats?
Really liked the original game. Definitely gonna check this out
Gotta get them Gameplay & CONTOLS right 🤣
This game is ludicrously cute
Hehehe exactly! Mark
Dang I might actually consider this! Never played the first one
It's a great little game. Mark
5:55 wth my guy did you actually take that weapon from your 6yr old child? xD
Ben Davenport hahahaha it’s a hard world out there! Mark
Should I pass on part 1 entirely in favor of this? Btw part 1 has a ridiculous sale while part 2 isn’t discounted heavily
when the physical copy release?
So it this basically tunic/ zelda
Is it co-op on one console? Thx
Hey SwitchUp, this is kind of offtopic for this review but I would suggest to include information on the possibility to invert the camera axes in future reviews. I recall Jedi Knight 2 and lately Dusk DIver which do not allow players to invert the y-axis (at least not at release). This would have been a very crucial information for me and I think a lot of other players too. Best regards!
Thanks dude for the suggestion. Mark
is there couch coop on the first Cat Quest ?
Can't wait to nab this one on Friday!
I think you’ll really enjoy it. Did you have the first one? Mark
[Wednesday, 4:00 PM] [me] Hey, there is a silly cat RPG (1st part) on eShop sale! You want it?
[Wednesday, 4:00 PM] [wife (cat lover)] sure it looks sweet
[Wednesday, 4:01 PM] [me] ok, bought it. I will just check how it feels
[Wednesday, 4:15 PM] [me] hmm, It is really fun....
[Thursday, 2:20 AM] [wife (cat lover)] Come to sleep you moron it is the middle of the night!
[Thursday, 2:21 AM] [me] ... damn.. >> ****catnip****
Hahaha yep! Mark
I would never buy this but it was great review as always
Thanks for your support mate! Mark
@@SwitchUpYt although I do have a 7 year old who I'm trying to get some interested in kid friendly games I'll show her the review and see what she thinks
It works with only one joy con?
You sound just like Rav Wilding who used to present Crimewatch.
No online co-op is such a missed opportunity.
Agree mate, a shame not to see that. Mark
Probably pick this one up looks very similar to the first game though...
Is this the puuuurrrrrfect sequel to the breakout mobile port hit? Let’s find out.
Hehehe yeah, 🤛
It's FelinGARD. You said it wrong. xD
haha, a weapon you both want ..... depended on whos the oldest!
is this online co op ?
Another who got the first on sale and loved that simplistic play style. Just pick up and play. Laugh at the silly jokes and not put any real thought into it. So will be picking this up.
🛒🛒
it's freaking $2.99 now
love switchup
Love CP
Cat quest is coming on physical
0:46
Nice
Nice nice nice
Nice nice
...I love cats
Who doesn't!? Mark
Gameplay looks boring and samey. I can't see any inventive puzzles or mysteries that made games like A Link to the Past so magical. Looks beautiful though - can't fault the visuals.
I like the concept but this game just feels mobile. I felt the same way about the first one. Personally, I feel looked down upon when things are judged X out of Y stars. I didn't like it in Overcooked and It feels worse here.
When I was looking at the reviews for the game kitaria fables all I could find in thr comments were "get cat quest is better for the same price and they've even got cat quest 2 now &its better than this&star dew valley is better at farming between those 2 u have this " paraphrasing the majority of what the reviews said
perfect game to play with a cat loving gf, can't wait to play :)
This game is so cute and so much fun, now with coop and new techniques it's just perfect, you want to buy final fantasy? Get this shit outta here and buy this game

Thanks mate! My first reply shows how tired I am lol I thought I’d said nice three times or something! Mark
Thank you.
