Evaluation

Cats on Duty launched on July 29, 2024 as a complete product. In the months following launch, the developer shipped a hotfix (August 1, 2024), added Linux/Steam Deck support (August 15, 2024), and showcased the game at Gamescom (August 24, 2024), where they mentioned working on console versions. However, no console release has been announced on the Steam store, and no post-launch content updates or DLC beyond the launch-day Deluxe Upgrade Pack have been released or announced. The most recent developer communication was a sale promotion on October 3, 2025 — nearly 14 months after the Gamescom post where console versions were mentioned — with no follow-up on that effort. The game has only one DLC (the Deluxe Upgrade Pack, released on launch day), and there are no unreleased DLC entries on the store. Across 49 news posts, there is only a single major content event (the launch itself), with no post-launch expansions or updates indicating an ongoing content cycle. The game appears to have shipped as a finished product with no further content planned for the PC version.

About this game


Welcome to Cats on Duty, the purr-fectly hilarious and action-packed ultimate blend of real-time strategy, tower defense, and match-3 mechanics, where heavily armed battle-hardened cat veterans of rodent skirmishes and yarn tangles take charge in defending their homeland (and litter boxes) against the forces of great evil! Utilize a multitude of cat varieties to engage in combat against 50 types of fiendish creatures. Unleash the power of the whiskers and drive those zombies back to the depths of the underworld!

Tactical Tower Defense: Defend your territory with a brutal arsenal of weaponry. From powerful rifles that reach the enemy at a distance to death-defying ninjas with blades sharper than any groomer's scissors, strategically place your feline soldiers to ensure victory on the battlefield.


Unleash the Cattitude: Prepare for epic cat fights, playful antics, and adorable meows as your feline warriors show off their unique personalities and unleash their special abilities. Brace yourself for a blend of sass and strategy that will keep you entertained throughout the battles.


Match-3 Mayhem: It's not just tower defense; it's tower defense with a twist of addictive match-3 gameplay! Connect gems on the resource field to receive currency and purchase cat towers. Swap and combine cats on the battlefield to create upgraded towers and unleash devastating attacks. Inspired by Plants vs Zombies and Tower Swap, Cats on Duty takes the best of the genre and enhances it with captivating match-3 mechanics.

  • Customize and Improve your Squad: Unlock and collect a variety of quirky cat characters, each with their own strengths and abilities. From snipers and assassins to shotgun-toting Rambo-like felines and even a battle version of Puss in Boots, tailor your team to your playstyle and create the ultimate squad of kitty heroes. Gather three kittens in a row and witness the birth of a SUPER BATTLE CAT!
  • Epic Battles: Face off against formidable foes that will make your whiskers tremble. Zombies, skeletons, spiders, Baba Yaga, and EPIC bosses await your tactical prowess. Sharpen your claws, load your shotguns, and show them who's the real top cat on the battlefield!
  • Unique Environments: Explore diverse and meticulously crafted levels, from deceptively cozy suburban backyards to mysterious desert. Each environment presents unique challenges that require cunning strategy to emerge victorious.
  • Charming Pixel-Cat Graphics: Immerse yourself in a vibrant and whimsical world filled with colorful environments and adorable cat animations. It's a visual feast that will make you feel like you're right in the midst of a kitty adventure!

Get your paws on Cats on Duty now and let the cat-astrophe begin! And remember, in the world of Cats on Duty, some enemies may have nine lives, but they've never faced a cat army like yours before!
