57 of 57 · most liked firstAn interesting mix of kitty meows, match three, and tower defense. You play match three to gain energy to purchase and upgrade different kitty meows to protect your home from various undead. There are a bunch of cats to unlock and it gets a bit more complicated as it goes on. Not bad for a cheap game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alright. Cats on Duty is basically a Plants vs Zombies-like, only it's Cats vs Undead and Roosters. Combined with a Match-3 game. It carries a cute factor which can be appreciated by most people, I'd think. So, as you progress through the levels, you unlock new cats, new abilities, the opportunity to level up your cats, and so on. But the enemies also introduce new and stronger troops as well. The maps also start to add tall grass and hay barrels, which add both an obstacle and a way of hiding…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please include a way to heal the cats and also choose not to upgrade them as when you do you eat up three of them which leaves those other lanes undefended. A way to distinguish how damaged the cats are would be good too. Right now its a bit awkward to play will update review if these are changed
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →(Обзор на русском: [url=https://dtf.ru/games/2869453]> тут <) A mix of tower defense and match-3. Spend turns to get colorful resources, spend resources to buy cat-towers, get turns by killing enemies. (The key was provided by developer.) + Many enemies with different skills, like hiding underground or creating protection for enemies. + Cool boss fights that change game rules. + Each biome has unique features, like hay sheaves that change enemy path. + You can combine 3 cats of same kind at…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a pretty fun game with an interesting mix of genres! Candy Crush meets Plants vs Zombies + cute kitties! A little bit overpriced tho :P
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WHY THIS CAT IS WEARING A KATANA, BUT NOT A CATANA? WTF
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →saw the game on the gamescom 2023 happy that I can play it now
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ну увлекли, котятки-ребятки, ну умелый прикол сделали! Забавная смесь три в ряд и ЗОМБИШУТЕРА! Разнообразие котиков, нечисти, уровней, боссов и задач, которые поставлены перед игроком (от спасения котят до битвы на танках!). А еще есть милая магическая кыска-напарница, рассказывающая нам историю кошачьего сопротивления ну и как жить (жать кнопки) правильно. Играю на Кошаке (как задумано разработчиками), и иногда упыри-враги дают попотеть так, что я не успеваю расставлять котиков и складывать в…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great TD game Man, I've always been super into tower defense games, ever since the days of custom Warcraft 3 maps. But some of them were kinda weak, ya know? The towers were either too basic, the waves were all over the place, or the setting was just plain silly. But in this game, not only is the TD element awesome (even though, yeah, I know it's not exactly a tower defense, it's more like Plants vs. Zombies), but there's also this cool resource cycle (enemies-sausages-food-towers) that keeps…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like PvZ, and i like cats (they mostly hate me) so i took a cider and went all in to save the cats day. For a chill evening this is a purrfect game, but don't get to complacent, bejewel gameplay is much more intense then you think. Survive, for your own sake, but more importantly for the sake of your fluffy friends!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an amazing mix of Plants vs Zombies concept and traditional Match-3 mechanics. It's extremely fun to play madness where you sometimes win in nearly chaotic tense battles!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the greatest match three voxel based cat themed zombie tower defence game in the world. Pay no attention to the fact it's also the only one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Smooth gameplay. Pretty simple, but catchy. I’m a dog person, so it’s not normal for me to have fun while playing this game. But I did.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In the screenshots, the idea of combining Match-3 and Tower Defense looks interesting. In reality, however, the game doesn’t really let you properly enjoy either genre. Everything requires resources, which you almost never have and often have no way to obtain, so you end up just sitting and waiting for the next wave to start. The battles feel long and boring, and the zombies wearing traffic cones seem very familiar — like something we've already seen somewhere before.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cats on Duty is a playful yet surprisingly layered indie strategy title that thrives on blending humor with thoughtful mechanics. Developed by Prikol Team and published by ESDigital Games, the game takes a deliberately absurd premise—weaponized cats defending territory from monstrous threats—and turns it into a cohesive experience that balances accessibility with meaningful tactical depth. What initially looks like a lighthearted novelty quickly reveals itself as a carefully structured strategy…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a bizarre mix of Plants Vs Zombie and a gem matching game! Cats on Duty is here and wants you to defend the left side of the screen! #ID@Xbox #Indiegames #Indie #Xbox www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3Tl...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →More Candy Crush than Tower Defense. The Tower Defense aspect is really just window dressing. You make your money purely through the lame Match 3 childishness, unless it changes later, which it may. I did not play it very much. 1/5 Tower Defense games should be Tower Defense games, not have a Tower Defense graphic only that matters not.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →puuuurfect !!! plants vs zombies redone with a gem matching twist. Very well done.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's great and really cute cats ^l^

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. Got it after I played the demo. Fun and inventive, can't wait to see what's in the later levels, but the first ones are a blast!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What happens when you mix match-3 with lane/tower defense with cats? Cats on Duty. I gave the demo a try and began my plans of cat world domination. Live now, so go give it a watch! youtu.be/Kgo8WFQxI_8
