About the Game

Welcome to join our Discord.

Gameplay:
This is a 2D Monster Hunter-like co-op action game that supports solo play or online co-op for up to 4 players.
Observe boss attack patterns, leverage your weapon's unique traits, and use items wisely to defeat powerful bosses. After a victory, use boss materials to forge new equipment, take on even stronger bosses, and climb your way to become the top gladiator cat in the arena!

The balanced Sword & Shield; the elegant Longsword; the sustained-damage Cannon; the devastating charged Greatsword; the cyclone-spinning Dual Blades; and the note-playing Harp.

Each weapon has its own rhythm and unique moves, offering a completely different combat experience when facing enemies.

Arena foes demand respect! Observe their attack patterns, exploit your weapon's unique traits, and strategically counter. Equipment bonuses and tactical item usage are key to victory.

Struggling alone? Team up with up to 3 friends for 4-player online co-op! Enjoy the thrill of dominating your foes together.

Need a break from the challenges? Try your hand at fishing! Different fish grant different stat bonuses—don't forget to grab a bite before battle!

Traps, BoomBuckets, healing potions, basketball bombs, secret recipe grilled fish... Using items wisely can greatly reduce the difficulty of battle!

Forge armor from boss materials to boost stats (attack/defense/crit) or enhance item efficiency (CD/casting speed). Experiment with synergistic builds!

About Us
Cat Gladiators is developed by a small three-person team. We love Monster Hunter, so we wanted to create a "2D co-op hunting game." We simplified the weapon mechanics to make it "easy to learn but hard to master," while also enhancing the role of items—so more players can easily jump into the co-op action!
