Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the demo for the video game Chow
0:06
Down Kitty on Not Now Mom, I'm Gaming.
0:10
These are short videos featuring
0:11
gameplay clips or screenshots so as not
0:13
to show too much in the spoiler
0:14
department. Links to this review are in
0:17
the description below. Let the reviewing
0:24
The only pro I'm going to give the game,
0:26
and it's a bit of a stretch, because
0:28
there's not much to do in the way of
0:30
customizing cats given you buy the items
0:32
from the shop, and shop items are
0:34
expensive when you're barely getting
0:36
scraps of change for the match three
0:37
games you complete with an A rank. Not
0:40
to mention, the shop has a reset time of
0:44
But if you do buy something to customize
0:46
a cat with, they'll either look really
0:48
adorable or absolutely funny, depending
0:50
on what you choose. I customized one
0:53
with red spiky hair. They became a
0:55
little Helen in my eyes.
1:00
24-hour shop reset. The first time I
1:03
looked into the shop, which is there so
1:05
you can either buy decorations for the
1:07
room you're subjected to staying in or
1:09
to buy cosmetics for the cats, there was
1:12
a 10-minute shop reset about to happen,
1:14
which is great. There's nothing wrong
1:16
with 10 minutes because it gives you the
1:18
chance to play some games, earn money,
1:19
and see what else you can grab.
1:22
Having said that, after playing some
1:24
more match three and gaining a bit more
1:26
money, I went back into the cash shop
1:28
and the reset time had gone up to 24
1:36
This is just a demo, a taste of the full
1:38
game, but you're going to have the g to
1:40
put that long of a time limit in a shop
1:43
on a game where there's really not much
1:45
entertainment on what to do, where we,
1:47
the player, get paid in cheap change for
1:49
catering to a cat's needs. No thanks.
1:53
That's a turnoff in itself.
1:55
One room, five cats. In the demo, there
1:59
are two areas you can go to, and there
2:00
are five cats in each location. The
2:03
problem is within the single room you
2:05
exist in, there could only be five cats.
2:08
So, you're forced to pick and choose
2:09
which cats you want to have sitting in
2:11
the room and staring at you. And they
2:13
aren't even in cute poses that cats can
2:15
get into when lounging around the room.
2:17
They're just sitting at the front
2:19
looking expectantly at you as if you're
2:21
going to do something cute instead of
2:22
them. We've already fed them. That was
2:24
their job. But now they sit there all
2:27
boring like at least make them smaller
2:30
so you can have them spread out around
2:31
the room. I don't care if they're laying
2:33
on a chair or clinging to a wall in a
2:35
desperate attempt to climb the wall.
2:37
Give them some personality.
2:39
And if you don't like one, switch it out
2:43
Limited room decorating. The demo only
2:46
has you in one room, and that's fine.
2:49
But given there's decorating within this
2:50
game, which might create more interest
2:52
combined with the cats, there's only so
2:54
much you can do with decorations.
2:56
For instance, you might have a painting
2:58
on the wall. The most you can do with it
3:01
is slide it to the right or left on the
3:03
wall it's already on or adjust it up a
3:06
bit more or down. That's literally it.
3:10
You can probably place it on another
3:11
wall if you don't like it where it is,
3:14
but again, not much else. Same with the
3:17
furniture. Move it a little to the left
3:19
or right and you're done. Of course, if
3:21
there's something in the way or if
3:23
you'll get too close to another object,
3:25
then it won't allow you to move it at
3:26
all. So, that's another thing to think
3:28
about with placement. It's just a little
3:30
disappointing in the ways of decoration.
3:33
Match three not satisfying.
3:36
I played a lot of games with match
3:38
three. The first one of course having
3:40
been Candy Crush, and a lot of other
3:42
games have expanded on that, but this
3:44
one, this one was left in the dust.
3:47
First off, it can get a little tough
3:49
when feeding the last couple cats in an
3:51
area because a high score to meet
3:53
demands more out of you. And the thing
3:55
is, there's no boost in matching more
3:58
than three items. Normally in other
4:00
match three games, there's a power up
4:02
bonus to help you out, but not here. In
4:05
this game, you can get excited to do a
4:07
full five match or one with an L shape,
4:09
and you get nothing out of it. Just,
4:12
yay, you matched more than three. Now,
4:15
keep going because the cat still wants
4:18
There's no satisfaction to it.
4:21
And that's the end of a pros and cons
4:23
review of the demo for the video game
4:25
Chow Down Kitty. Thanks for watching
4:28
everyone, and don't get in too much
4:30
trouble when you say, "Not now, Mom. I'm
