Players that are familiar with games like Archero will feel right at home with Catopia: Rush. Outside of the arcadey action, there are tons of ways to upgrade characters and team strategies to explore. Plus, we have a robust idle system for those that like to play in bursts and gather items.
While major regions like the United States and Japan are excluded until the Global Launch, players in available regions can start assembling their team of heroic cats and enjoy new features that have been implemented following a successful open beta test with more than 29k players. Since then, we have added special moves to our five Hero Cats, special stages to gain particular resources, and a scoring system with competitive leaderboards to name a few of the many changes we are proud to share.
We have previously revealed the languages that will be supported in Catopia: Rush on our website but we already have ten languages available for the Soft Launch release. Those languages include: English, Indonesian, Italian, Malay, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
To further celebrate the Soft Launch, we have dropped a new animated trailer that sets the stage for this quirky adventure.
For those that cannot get enough Catopia content, we have the delightfully silly but wholesome webcomic Catopia University available for free on both Tapas and Webtoon. The story is a bit of a prequel scenario that imagines Leon's college career and his acclimation into the Kingdom of Catopia. We also invite everyone to our silly social media channels which have additional game information as well as lighthearted fun.
