  • Take on the role of the Legendary Butler
  • Collect anthropomorphic cats to save the world
  • Do it all idly, though, because cats = lounging around

Greetings and welcome to Ahead of the Game! This is a show where we give you exclusive access to upcoming video games that you can start playing even before they hit the shelves. In this series, we provide opportunities for early access through Soft Launch, Open Beta, Demos, or other means, keeping you one step ahead in your gaming experience.

Regardless of it being the Year of the Snake, feline-themed adventures have been thriving in the mobile gaming world lately, and for good reason. After all, who wouldn’t jump at the chance to be at the constant command of cat lords and ladies, bound to a seemingly endless tenure of service under these regal feline rulers?

With games like Neko Atsume and Mister Antonio, you can enjoy the role of a caretaker. However, in the case of Hellic, it appears that the roles are reversed, placing you in the position of authority as a legendary butler. In this isekai tale, you’ll be accompanied by anthropomorphic cats on your journey, embodying the prophesied Legendary Butler.

In this scenario, you find yourself in a lively conflict between felines (cattos) and canines (doggos). However, there’s no need to feel overwhelmed or overextended. The game mechanics ensure a relaxed and stress-free experience as cats are known for their lazy, laid-back nature.

In essence, your band of furry comrades will automatically engage in battles on-screen with the Auto-Advance feature activated, leaving you mainly responsible for gathering gacha capsules that contain powerful equipment to boost your team. As you make progress, you’ll uncover additional cat allies, and there’s even an opportunity for some literal farming along the journey.

It’s intriguing that despite earning gacha capsules while offline and having inactive elements, you always have to open them manually when you get one. However, it seems that saving the world requires a bit of effort – at least do what you can to aid your team in their continuous journey.

You’ll definitely want to lend a hand to these adorable cat friends since they boast charming character designs that add a touch of joy to your collection. As you progress, various other animal characters will join in, with everything from naughty mice to portly penguins picking up their swords to join the battle.

Currently, the story isn’t particularly remarkable, but it certainly provides some amusement due to the vibrant personalities of these feline characters. It serves as a refreshing break from all the seriousness around us – or, if nothing else, you can gather adorable cats for your collection, which is always a delightful addition.
