Reigning Cats

Reigning Cats is a castle defense game in which you help Kingkat hold off waves of angry dogs while he waits for his owner to return. You hire cats, assign them to fight and upgrade their skills. Kingkat believes his owner is coming back for him.

Cats and castle defense

You can hire six cat classes: warriors, archers, rogues, berserkers, mages and priests. Each class has two jobs and two modes for use against the dogs. Plan where to place your hirelings and prepare for randomized boss encounters. Day, night and weather affect gameplay, and you can send cats on expeditions for extra gold. You also need to feed the cats and clean their litter box.

The game includes skills to upgrade, items to unlock, four mini-bosses and one final boss. You face 13 dog breeds and a secret final enemy.

Story and mini-games

The main game includes the story and two mini-games: Chow and Potty. It also has three additional modes: Revenge of The Big Bad Wolf, War, War Never Ends and Survive the Night.

Additional game modes

In Revenge of The Big Bad Wolf, you play as the Big Bad Wolf, also called the Big Dog, and command a pack to attack and capture Kingkat. Choose from five available cards or reshuffle them; the mode has 22 cards in total, including 13 dog cards and nine skill cards. It includes unlockable content within the game, not as DLC.

In War, War Never Ends, you fight randomly selected dogs, while mini-bosses can appear at any time. In Survive the Night, you defend the castle against strange enemies that are green and behave differently from usual. Darkness and fog impair the vision of your ranged cats.
