Cats in the Shell is a mech-building roguelike auto battler. Take the helm of giant combat machines as feline fighters!
Operate an intimidating metal beast to overtake a steel-clad battlefield! Choose from six distinct mech types, customizing each in a classic and satisfying roguelike progression system. However, a perfect machine shines brightest with a purrrfect pilot. Choose from whiskered helmsman, each with exclusive active abilities and strategic focuses.
Sharpen the mech’s proverbial claws by collecting more than 1,000 powerful equipment and component parts across random events. Arrange and combine parts in creative order to discover surprising combinations. Allocate each module into five slots, manage all components strategically by factoring in limited inventory space, then watch dynamic synergies play out in rewarding auto-battler sequences.
Challenge formidable foes in four futuristic biomes and confront towering bosses in the story campaign. Adapt new strategies to stand a chance against unexpected battle frames assembled by pilots from around the world in asynchronous player-versus-player battles. Refine loadouts after each fight, unleash devastating chain reactions, and conquer a gauntlet of 10 cumulative victories.
