Cat-girl strategy RPG comes out of nowhere to soak up Final Fantasy Tactics and Fire Emblem comparisons
Fan of strategy g💮ames and animals? Have I got🐻 the game for you

Should you exist in the venn diagram ♍centre between strategy RPG lover and cat obsessive, ജallow me to introduce you to something that scratches both those itches. Cross Tails is a gorgeous strategy RPG that channels the spirit of Final Fantasy Tactics and older Fire Emblems. The twist is that you play as a cast of fluffy cat people, naturally.
Cross Tails is set in a war-to🦩rn fantasy world where the canine Kingdom Of Ranverfurt and the feline Republic Of Hidiq are stuck in a conflict that’s lasted for generations. Thankfully, you can see the conflict play out from either perspective, as you’ll be able to choose between two main characters - the adorable Shaimaa Jerbi or the cool Felix Arens - at the beginning of the game. Although the game’s various trailers tease a mysterious higher power, so maybe the conflict’s two sides eventually become allies. Or frenemies, at the very least.
Cross Tails’ unique character deﷺsigns are certainly eye-catching - who can resist spell-slinging cats? But the other draw comes from the game's strategy RPG inspirations. The turn-based battles take place on 3D quarter-view stages, echoing the visual design of the classic Final Fantasy Tactics. The ability to use the environment to your advantage has✅ some Fire Emblem flavour, too.
The promised character customisation also sounds very promising, as there are 24 class type꧒s and each character can have a main job and a sub-class, which seems to open up plenty of build variety. Further deep🐲ening that customisation, every class has a separate skill tree and equipment can be modded with powerful magical effects.
Overall, Cross Tails looks to be more than just a ‘strategy game for cat lovers’ proposition, although the cats certainly don’t hurt its case. Cross Tails is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and for💃 $30 / 🌠£27.
