Fans of adorable characters and classic Metroidvania gameplay, rejoice! Nyaruru Fishy Fight, a quirky and engaging side-scrolling RPG, has officially made the leap from its successful Steam debut to mobile devices. While currently released in mainland China, this charming title promises a delightful experience worth anticipating for its wider international release.
Story: It’s a Cat-astrophic Mystery!
In Nyaruru Fishy Fight, you take on the role of Nyaruru, a young woman living a peaceful life in a quaint town. That is until a bizarre event turns the entire town cat-like! Everyone, including Nyaruru herself, suddenly sprouts feline ears and tails. Determined to get to the bottom of this fluffy transformation, Nyaruru embarks on a quest to restore her friends and neighbors to their former selves.
Gameplay: Classic Charm with a Feline Twist
As a Metroidvania at its core, Nyaruru Fishy Fight embraces the genre’s well-loved elements. Exploration is key, with secrets and treasures scattered throughout its interconnected world. Combat is refreshingly simple, focusing on well-timed attacks and dodging enemy strikes. As you progress, you’ll discover items and accessories that enhance your abilities, allowing for new combat strategies and ways to navigate the environment.
Adorable Aesthetics and a Touch of Familiarity
The game’s visual style is sure to charm cat lovers and anime enthusiasts alike. Its hand-drawn characters and environments exude a cozy fantasy atmosphere. Fans of the popular Nekopara series might find the art direction somewhat familiar, yet Nyaruru Fishy Fight distinguishes itself with a whimsical, almost fairytale-like quality instead of Nekopara’s modern aesthetic.
Treasure Hunting with Purpose
Nyaruru Fishy Fight offers a unique treasure system that directly impacts your progression. As you uncover chests and hidden goodies, you’ll activate upgrades in three distinct categories:
- Cat Scratcher: Improve your existing skills and abilities, making them stronger or more versatile.
- Fishing Rod: Boost your maximum health, allowing you to withstand tougher enemy encounters.
- Gems: Unlock entirely new skills, expanding Nyaruru’s moveset for both combat and exploration.
