Meowtopia: Expedition Reviews

Meowtopia takes it's name from the Latin words 'meow", meaning the sound of a cat, and 'topia' which refers to a shrubbery. Thus, Meowtopia means 'the sound of a cat in the bushes'. More or less. Now, I've seen games like this on the app store, and in fact, when I checked, this is there as well. However, it has made the move to PC rather nicely, and there are no ads or in-app purchases, just a whole lot of game. Playing the role of Xiaoxiao, a young Italian woman, you open a cat house, er, cat hotel, and progress through the story and upgrade all the things. To do that, you earn currency by completing match 3 games. There is plenty to do, and plenty of cats, so I've been impressed so far. If you like Match 3 and cats, you can't really go wrong here, especially for how much game you get for the price. Like, a lot of game. After six hours, I'm on chapter five out of twenty two. I really have nothing bad to say about this game at all. The English is a bit wonky at times, but I find that amusing more than anything, and since it's the only language I know, I'm just glad for the effort. Good game, good price, good times. Well, that's all, so as the Italians say, Buon Proseguimento! [hr][/hr] Reginald Otter is a cardboard box repairman, and a [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40680623/]Steam curator[/url].

Absolutely charming. Simple game play but never gets grindy. I would recommend it for anyone, perfect after a hard day.

I've only been playing this game for two days, and already know that it is something special. There's some aspects common in certain types of free-to-play games (multiple currencies, a dungeon mode, etc.), but the overall balance is fair and there haven't been any bad difficulty spikes thus far. That said, the puzzles are sufficiently challenging, not to mention well-designed, and new gameplay elements are introduced at a reasonable pace. The English localization is pretty bad, but this isn't the sort of game you play primarily for the story. The kitties are adorable and there's plenty to do with them outside of the match-3 action. I wouldn't be surprised if I continue playing this wholesome, engaging game for many more days to come.

A fun and cute match-3 I find amusing and lighthearted. Setting up a kitty-friendly home is a bonus and entertaining but I'm like, all this fur one pet?! LOL Warm bear hugs!

A very adorable and equally addictive game! The translation can be a bit rough around the edges, but it's never so bad that it would ruin the overall experience. Very cute cutscenes, challenging but do-able levels, the option to decorate your own place/café, dressing-up of the cats whom all have their own abilities to help you out and so much more. Can't recommend the game enough. If you want something cliché filled, fluffy and wholesome then this game is what you're looking for.

The game itself is cute, adorable and fun, but the localisation is terrible. Like an unchecked automated google translate. Mostly it's just funny, but some of the longer texts are borderline unreadable. :( If you for some weird reason are not in it for the cat background stories, it's a solid cat puzzler :3

A simple app game, ported to PC without in-game purchases and wait times. Very sweet game with lots of cute features and the most amount of playtime I've personally experienced with this type of game. There are a few minor bugs, I had it freeze on me a couple of time and some graphic/language errors, but nothing major and easily overlooked at this low price. Lots of grindy achievements which will take you way longer than the main storyline. I love a good challenging game, but sometimes its just nice to put on a podcast and relax with some casual gameplay. If you also enjoy that from time to time, this is for sure a must-play.

By far one of the best Match 3 games. The visuals and soundtrack are very sweet and pleasant with a ton of lovely art. Seven chapters and 20 hours in I checked out how much story there was left and was pleasantly surprised by how much I still had infront of me. Going through the story puzzles they regularly introduce more and more different gameplay variations and mixes up which ones are present level to level, so it never gets particularly boring. While some obstacles are somewhat similar they are still all very distinct and at most an evolution of a previous obstacle. All levels are very doable, aside of the difficulty setting you can make the puzzles easier for yourself by using props as well as different cats. There a plenty of different "builds" you can use and all are viable. The only point where I really had to grind Exploration was while getting the cats to max affection levels though my approach was less than optimal. Aside of the Match 3 puzzles you have an interaction system with the different cats which is simply adorable and serves as a nice break. Each cat has a few diary entries to collect as well some stories of the individual cats’ crossing over with other cats sometimes, which I find really cool to see. It adds to the world feeling alive, intertwined and a bit more real. The idle animations of the characters and cats in the spaces you get to decorate do so as well. The translation is quite good. You can certainly tell that it's a translation and there are a few typing errors, however you can understand everything perfectly fine and the little quirks in how things are written add to the game's charm in my opinion. Especially when they slip up on pronouns, she/he Cher and Cary! It might not be on purpose, but it feels nice to see anyway. Though it does get noticeably sloppier towards the end of the story, which is unfortunate. Overall I dare call this a perfect game, it is beautiful to behold, rich in gameplay and story and just very sweet. 10/10 definitely worth it!

A delightful experience with cats and match 3 games! It's so cute! It looks like a sim with responsibilities. Well, once the kitten is adopted, the beautiful Cher understands that it is not an easy task to take care of the baby. The cute Toffee is new to the place, is afraid and a bit reckless with Cher's belongings. That is understandable. As such, without hesitation, Cher is determined to make her house warm and friendly to Toffee. You must help her gain coins, buy cat furniture, do daily tasks and befriend the kitten. Oh? Cher's friends come to visit. Make sure to vaccinate Toffee and take care of Cher's friends' cats. Who knows? Maybe you'll help her find a job. PROS: - Delightful artwork; - Sweet music; - Variety of difficulty in match 3 games; - Easy to learn mechanics; - Photos in game are saved locally; - Cuteness overload! CONS: - Sometimes the player gets too much explanation; - Move limitation in match 3 games; - Higher price to retry match 3 games (better to retry without bonus weapons). I am still playing the game. So far, the game is sweet and cute. I like it. If you are a fan of match 3 games and a cat lover, this is a game for you!

Quite possibly the best match-3 game on Steam. It's got a ton of content, an adorable story about cats, and hundreds of well-tuned, creative and varied puzzles that make you want to keep playing.
