Evaluation

Space Cats Tactics is a solo-developed turn-based tactical RPG that launched on July 24, 2023. Following launch, the developer shipped a series of bug fix and quality-of-life patches through August 2023, and then returned with a notable feature update on July 30, 2024 — PawPatch 1.10.0 — which added full controller support and mentioned the possibility of Steam Deck and even Switch support in the future. That July 30, 2024 post is the last recorded developer communication. While it expressed some forward-looking enthusiasm about platform possibilities, these were casual, speculative remarks rather than a concrete announcement of planned content. No named DLC, expansion, roadmap, or future update has been announced. The only DLC on the store is an artbook and soundtrack bundle that released on launch day — a cosmetic/media package, not a content expansion. There is no sustained cadence of major content updates after launch — only the one controller support patch arriving roughly a year post-launch, with no further communication since July 30, 2024 (nearly 12 months before today's date of June 25, 2026). The developer has not announced any additional content, and the game appears to have been released as a complete, finished product with post-launch polish and one significant feature addition. The game is considered content-complete as of the last meaningful update on July 30, 2024.

About this game

Join my Discord:


Made by a solo developer, Space Cats Tactics brings together the nerve-wracking battles of turn-based strategy games and the powerful epic stories of space opera.

Combining grid- and turn-based tactical combat (as seen in games like XCOM and Divinity: Original Sin) and inside-ship crew management (like in games such as FTL and Star Command Galaxies), in Space Cats Tactics you will have to be on your toes and think every step very carefully!

KEY FEATURES

Manage your cat crew: send your crew of space cats to different special rooms in your spaceship, activating different abilities that allow you to adapt to different tactical situations. A cat in the right place can make the difference between victory and defeat!


Explore deep space: marvel at the wonders of deep space flying through clouds of gas, mining asteroids for resources you can sell, helping ships in trouble, or boarding derelicts in random NPC encounters


Dive into a thrilling space opera story, an epic tale of just heroes, charming rogues and evil villains, full of witty dialogues and choices where every encounter has different outcomes for you to write your own story

Plot:

A long time ago, humans created your race, a hybrid of cat and man. to be their slave warriors and fight their wars for them.
But after long years of servitude, these space cats turned against their creators and fought for their freedom.
Eventually, they forced humans to sign a treaty liberating the whole Catkind… but your kind is still despised and feared, even though they are fierce warriors and skilled pilots.

You are Captain Mitzi, a mercenary hired to smuggle the ship Curiosity to a remote corner of the galaxy. Turns out the job had more to it than you thought: now you’re running for your lives with the government’s ships hot on your heels! Every encounter has different outcomes and every decision will impact your destiny, so choose wisely: you can be a righteous hero or a vengeful pirate, talk your way out of things like a charming rogue or escape gun blazing.
