Gato Roboto is the kitty cat metroidvania we didn't know we needed

This kitten's got claws. And a rocket launcher. And a double jump.

Gato Roboto is Devolver Digital's surprise reveal for PAX West. It's a lo-fi metroidvania that's clearly inspired by the design of revered genre-definers like Super Metroid. The hook is that there's a cat inside this powered-up mech suit. Cats make everything better.

There's a classic and instant familiarity to Gato Roboto. All the enemies are a threat, so surgically and cautiously pick them off one by one. There are a few doors, let's try the one on the left. Whoops, can't go through there -- it must be something to come back to. These blocks look rather destructible. The rocket launcher can surely carve a new path.
