[Rewrite this title] Review of “Crazy Cats vs. Crazy Cyborgs” on PlayStation 5

Wow, okay, so here’s the deal with “Crazy Cats vs. Crazy Cyborgs” from Xeneder Team. You get to be Princess Anna. No, not that Anna. This one’s saving cats—yep, cat people—from insane cyborgs. It’s an arcade shoot ’em up thing. Saw this and just had to try. I mean, cats and cyborgs? Who’s saying no?

Let me just explode one thought here: simplicity is the game’s mantra. I tried out a couple of Xeneder’s earlier stuff—there were these games, what were they? Something like Lasso Catch and Happi Basudei. Anyway, back to our feline fest…

Anna sort of just floats around, firing at the metal foes automatically. You only need the left stick to move her up and down. At first, I was like, “Is that it?” The shooting felt super slow, and it didn’t even fire where I was aiming! Frustration city, my friends.

Picture this: after you die—and you will—those coins you collected? Not for the vending machine, nope. You can upgrade Anna with them. Faster shooting, more damage, even calling upon creature buddies to help. So, death isn’t the end, just a rewind to try again with cool new powers.

Honestly, by halfway through—what’s this, a 20-minute adventure?—you’re a demi-god, blasting everything. And after level 11, you start over but it’s harder. Go figure. Keeps things spicy!

Visually, it’s like someone spilled the 16-bit era all over my TV, complete with the kind of scrolling backgrounds that make you woozy in a good way. Soundtrack, though? Meh, doesn’t quite hit the same level. Just sorta hangs out in the background, y’know?

Now, for those hunting trophies—yep, talking to you with the shiny eyes—you can nab a Platinum in no time. Eleven trophies, nice and simple. Oh, and get this: it’s a Cross-Buy. Meaning, one price and you’ve got it on PS4 and PS5. Double the Platinum fun.

Summing this kooky ride up, yeah it’s simple and quick, but genuinely satisfying. I mean, short game for some maybe, but those pixels and power-ups feel alright to me. It’s just three bucks for both console versions. Not gonna break the bank, right?

Guess that’s all I’ve got tumbling around my head. Crazy Cats vs. Crazy Cyborgs—who’d have thought?
