Our take on Cats, Guns & Robots
Rather than centering a human hero, this action roguelike places a laboratory cat inside a prototype robot controlled through mental power. Its room-by-room progression also puts upgrade selection alongside reflexes as a core part of combat.
What is Cats, Guns & Robots?
Cats, Guns & Robots is a roguelike action game about Nyx, a laboratory cat controlling a prototype robot during a war against hostile machines.
Players clear rooms by surviving robot attacks, earn experience from defeated enemies, and improve both character abilities and weapons between encounters. Weapon and equipment purchases add another layer of choice, with inventory options shaping how each room is approached. The game combines reflex-based combat with decisions about which abilities, weapons, and equipment to upgrade. Its story follows Paw Lab’s attempt to create a mentally controlled robot after evil robots turn against humanity and build an army of smaller machines.
