Mechanically flawed, but still fun – CATS: Crash Arena Turbo Stars Review

C.A.T.S. is enjoyable, and can be very satisfying, but the one major issue I have with the game is that there’s no element of control except using abilities after you build your machine. So if someone, say, pays to get better parts than you, you just have no chance to defend yourself, because ai is controlling both cars. Also, some weapons are just completely overpowered in certain stages in the game. For example, in early stages, the laser is completely broken, because if you manage to get one that’s leveled up, you can one hit most cars before they even reach you, and vice versa, so nearly everyone is using it, which makes the game much more boring, because there’s no variety in the early meta. Also, get used to mandatory unskippable ads, unless you want to pay to get those removed too. Tl;dr: you can’t control your machines, so people with better gear always win, a lot of ads you can pay to remove, some weapons are overpowered, and the game is p2w. But despite this, still fun.
