    Aqua Kitty UDX may have an unusual premise but its core gameplay is still that of a 2D arcade-style shooter and one which does a satisfying job at that. While it could certainly be more demanding in terms of difficulty level, it offers some fun moments and its local co-op mode is certainly an asset.

    Aqua Kitty UDX is a great shoot ‘em up that will be perfect for the fans of the genre than love playing on their Nintendo Switch.

    I recommend playing Aqua Kitty UDX on your TV. There’s also a two-player co-op option, which is nice. In the end, I enjoyed Dreadnought Mode but found Normal/Arcade Mode to be uninspiring. If you need an underwater bullet-hell shooter, Aqua Kitty UDX should scratch that itch.

    The Earth has run out of milk and cats need their nectar. Dive into your submarine to help the adorable hairballs. With excellent control and high complexity if you wish, Aqua Kitty UDX is an excellent title that you can also play with your friends.

It is perfect for people that don't like too many buttons on a game and it is challenging. Tons of fun and a rage creator but in a keep you coming back way, rather than smash up your console way.

    I have given it an 8 because it is what it is and I just don't think an arcade shooter is as much fun as some other genre's. For example if I was told I could only play one arcade style game again for the rest of my life then I wouldn't even need to consider putting Garou Mark of the Wolves before this but to put it in perspective within its genre and scope, it is pretty perfect.    … Full Review »

    I got this Game when it was dirt cheap in the E-Shop. No big expectations. When i played it for the first time it blew my mind. Coulden't stopI got this Game when it was dirt cheap in the E-Shop. No big expectations. When i played it for the first time it blew my mind. Coulden't stop to play it for 5 hours. I am not even a big Defender-like or Shmup player. But the simplicity, razor sharp controlls and the Game modes really make an addictive and compact Defender-like Shmup.

    On the other hand, maybe its a bit too compact, but for a few bucks i definitly had more fun and playtime as with many full-price Cartridge games.

    If you like old school Shmups Aqua Kitty UDX is a great way to have fun. However, if you want a modern Bullet Hell Shooter with tons of upgrades and unlocks, you will be disappointed.

    Pro:
    - Precise and simple controlls
    - Great gameplay
    - Nice price (depending on region and sales)

    Cons:
    - Not enough levels / bosses
    - Difficulty may be too high for newcomers to this genre, even on easy mode
    - Cats... im a dog person

    Get it, try it, if you don't get hooked like myself, not much money lost ;-)    … Full Review »

Niedliche Kätzchen, herausfordernde Level man will es aber auf jeden Fall schaffen, so spielt man immer weiter - nach ein Paar Versuchen klappt es dann auch! Wunderbare Musik gibt es obendrauf auch und ein tolles Happy End für Katzen und Mäuse, wenn man es durchgespielt hat.… Full Review »
