    If you're looking for something retro and breezy to play through in an evening, you’ll have a great time with Gato Roboto on Xbox One. This is a funny and charming experience from beginning to end, and it's clear the developers deeply understand, and are fans of, the genre they were working with.

    A nostalgia filled throwback to the Game Boy and awesome 2D platformers featuring super cute characters and a great soundtrack! If you love classic games or pixel graphics this is a must play!

You will play mainly through 4 to 5 big scenarios, each with its clear goal until you reach the final boss. The story is short, simple, and funny. If you are curious about Gato Roboto, I recommend to aproach with low expectations and it will feel rewarding… Expand

It’s really ‘just’ a pixel-art Game Boy game simulator, but it packs all the fun of that medium into an affordable, relaxing experience (although it does have enough difficulty to give you a little hint of spice).

    I especially like that this is an $8 game, and not a $20 game, like so many short indie games are these days. That’s not a bad price point, and I appreciate that they’re not trying to pull the classic over-priced MSRP followed by ‘sales’ that mark it down to where it should’ve been all along. But I think I should have known that the pricing would be appropriate, given that this is published by Devolver—they are quickly becoming one of my favorite publishers.

    My only negative point is because I felt the game was short. Imagine if this was a $20 or $25 game, and there were three or four worlds that you could wander around on—suddenly this goes right up there with Mega Man in my book (yes, debatable, I know). As it is, I finished it in 3 hours, and although I left with a good taste in my mouth, I can’t give it much higher than an 8 when it’s this short and simple.

    Regardless, a game I enjoyed very much.    … Expand

    Gato Roboto is a monochrome retro Metroidvania platformer. Hailing back to the original Metroid, and rocking two-tone pixel graphics, GatoGato Roboto is a monochrome retro Metroidvania platformer. Hailing back to the original Metroid, and rocking two-tone pixel graphics, Gato Roboto nails what it does. You play as Kiki, the hero's Cat. Well, the hero is he wasn't stuck in the ship. After a crash landing at the research facility you're sent to investigate, Gary the captain is stuck, and asks his cat to help, then questions his sanity. So in his stead Kiki wanders off to save the day. But to do that Kiki gets to don a high powered military battle mech. Now with all of its Metroid hanging out for the world to see you get to explore a massively interconnected map while searching for powerups to make Kikis' suit more powerful. But you don't get to spend the entire time in the safety and comfort of your mech, as there are areas where Kiki must climb out of the suit to make it into places the suit cannot. Despite its lack of colors, Gato Roboto is loaded to the brim with great Metroidvania action. One of the neat features of the game is Cartridges that you can find hidden around the map, allowing you to change the base and color of the game, making it more, or less, like playing on an old Game Boy. The game is just fun top to bottom and isn't ashamed of its inspiration, as they say, imitation is the highest form of flattery.… Expand

    Record battu pour l'étron indé du jour ou plutôt du mois : 2 couleurs seulement, oui deux couleurs si on prend en compte le fond : bravo,Record battu pour l'étron indé du jour ou plutôt du mois : 2 couleurs seulement, oui deux couleurs si on prend en compte le fond : bravo, félicitations ! ils se sont vraiment décarcassés sur cet étron-là ! ça doit être un jeu du père Ducrasse, une gerboulade en "jeu vidéo"...

    A force de pousser très fort sur le trône, ils ont démoulé cette espèce de jeu (?) de tir et de plateforme avec un chat et en plus, oui en plus, comme si ça ne suffisait pas, c'est du pixel lard tout pixélisé pour plaire aux rétrons (traduction : amateurs de jeux rétro-étrons de la paléo-informatique).

    Pathétique, pitoyable, ennuyeux, insultant... les adjectifs manquent pour sous-qualifier ce foutage de gueule éhonté, ce crachat à la gueule, cette infamie d'étron indé dont même le vide-ordures le moins regardant ne voudra pas... Il faut le voir pour le croire ou plutôt ne surtout pas le voir, ne pas y "jouer" et tirer la chasse le plus vite possible.    … Expand
