Speedrunning The Battle Cats is a Bizarre Experience

Battle Cats is a game with a very simple concept. You control a group of

cats

who try to take over the world. To do this, you need to constantly get new

cats

and upgrade them so that they can take on stronger opponents. The game means that there is a very simple speedrun, the strategy for the main speedrun where the

battle

cats increase is to use a pair of extremely powerful cats that you will get later in the game to do this in each stage, yes even the boss stage is that simple, the reason you can do this is because you don't need to restart your save file and you can use the cats that you don't really have to have right now, but I didn't like the idea of ​​this being the quick race, was a little too easy so I decided to make a quick race where you have to start from the starting point and advance through the game.

This is that sprint, but before we continue, if you enjoy the content, please subscribe. I'll be honest, it's not really like that. I help you a lot because you will watch my videos if you like them anyway, but it really helps me with the YouTube algorithm so I would really appreciate it. Now starting the first level is nice and easy. You have a single cat just send it a few times when you have enough money, Battlecats work in a way where each cat has a specific cost so you have to get that money before sending it.

You get money both over time and for each enemy you kill, but this The first cat didn't cost much and it was our only type, so I'll be honest, there wasn't much strategy and the next levels are more or less the same, we have Some new cats like Tank Cat, Ax Cat, and Filthy Cat, but the levels weren't too complicated. One thing that was good about running fast in this game is that in each level after the first level you can use speedups, this makes the game go much faster and they only cost part of the cat food you use. cope with the game naturally.

I didn't even have to spend money on cat food because we had everything we needed if only old mobile games were like that, so we went through the next levels, usually starting with a tank cap to take most of the damage and then moving on. with a more powerful one to deal more damage during this time we also kept upgrading our cats as we got XP every time you beat a level you get XP which you can spend on upgrading your cat base or a couple of other things, most of these first XP went to our tank in Ax Cats as they were a pretty good way to go fast and this was our strategy until we beat the 7th Japan stage.

This is where

speedrunning

gets interesting after beating Japan. the cat capsule and the rare cat capsule, but we really only care about the rare one. This is a cheat mechanic where you get a random limit by using tickets you get throughout the game or cat food, and these cats can be rare, super rare, or super rare. rare, I hope I don't have to explain which one is the best, we got two rare tickets after Japan and from there we got a rare cat and a super rare one, oh yeah, we also got a titan cat from the normal cat capsule, but not really It matters too much for now.

The thing is, we didn't really want to use our rare cats because they are more valuable with their change to the XP feature. This gives you an absolutely incredible amount of XP that you can use. to upgrade your cats because I got a super rare, this allowed me to fully upgrade my brute tank ax and ninja cat. Oh yeah, by the way, I bought a ninja cat with cat food and then still had enough XP to upgrade a bunch of other mechanics. like the cat cannon to get extra defense worker cats for money while you are in

battle

base health for base health research for limit production speed counter to get even more money by defeating enemies study to get more XP after the stages and finally cat energy so you can keep doing more levels Oh, one last thing I should probably mention is that doing each level costs a different amount of cat energy because we upgrade it here, although that's not really a problem for the rest of the speed so for the next 30 minutes the enemies didn't even have a chance we just spam our overpowered cats honestly it doesn't even matter what we use because we win with basically anything during this time we also got rarer cat capsules that made us even more overpowered.

I love this game, which is also a good time to talk about how there may be some irony in me trying to escape a simple speedrun only to create one that's still pretty simple, huh, well, no time to worry about that , back to assassinating, but finally once we got to New York we had to change our strategy a little instead of completely spamming our units. We waited a little. This is where the bigger enemies start to appear and unfortunately we can't fully follow the general strategy. What was used was to take out a group of tank cats and then a couple of mythic titan cats and then spam them, so yeah, we just delayed our spamming a little bit.

Hooray, these enemies required a little more skill, although a lot of times the levels kicked out really strong enemies and you had to be smart about defeating them. Sometimes we could reduce the base's health before the enemy could do anything about it, while other times they could push it back. I had to do it. Deciding which units could be used for different enemies and it was a little stressful because a certain mistake could be a waste of time, but even after all that monologue I still can't complain that we were absolutely overpowered and it felt good all this time.

We also bought and completely upgraded the rest of the cats, so we had all kinds of advantages, specifically the dragon is good for long distances, the whale is good for damaging a single enemy at a time, and the UFO is good for dealing damage Sometimes having these specialties was useful depending on what the game wanted to give us if it was a group of meaty enemies we would use fish and titan if it was a group of smaller enemies UFO was the option and if the level was just relentless with more and more Enemy dragon units could provide good backup so there was a bit of strategy but we mostly just kept spamming and slowly but surely the rest of the levels were completed, they kept throwing things they thought might hurt us but They dominated us too much by abusing the game mechanics and that finally takes us to the last level the moon the moon is a strange level because you have to defeat this giant floating head yes, this game is strange, it has a lot of health and damage, so It takes a lot to defeat him.

That's why we finally use our trump card, the cat god, the cat boy, he is a unit that you can use by spending cat food, but if it is the first time you use him, you get his best ability for free, this does not give him cooldown to all your cats, that is, you. you can totally spam them as long as you have enough money. He's a cool guy too, I mean look at him, but this is also where I made a mistake in my speedrun. I tried to spam as many tank cats as possible to be an unbeatable wall. and they died immediately, yes, but then I played smarter by just spamming my best cats, quickly hitting their heads and destroying the last tower on my last time 1 1954, so in the end I think we created a race category of Pretty good speed for the Battle Cats, I mean, it depends a lot on gotcha rng, but anything makes for a fun speed race and we had a good time successfully by the way.
