(Archived 2022) The thread in which we talk about games we are currently playing

The only game I can get to play on my MC2SIO is Legend of Kay (2005). So be it, it’s actually not that bad.

It’s a German game set in a furry medieval China where you play as a tough cat (@穴’s thread about tough cats sent me on a google hunt for tough video game cats and this is where that led me) named Kay whose cat village is under occupation by gorrillas and rats. The music is pleasant and the comic book cutscenes are slick! Nice art, whoever you were!! (It was Henrik Fetz.)

Kay controls like a sixth gen action adventure protagonist and has a double jump from the jump. You can drift race boars. The game has a lot of tutorials in it.

The English voice acting was bad so I switched to French and had a cartoony time with it. Would have loved an undub to put it into German but that’s not gonna happen. Spanish is also available on the NTSC version.

Also available on a ton of other platforms, including the DS.

This game got a physical anniversary release for the Switch a few years ago. Was this a beloved game in Europe? I’m pretty sure I’d never heard of it until today.
