Saved Enough Fish? Summon Your Samurai Cat!

157 View2025-12-30

Heyyyyyy, guys. I’m working on my own tiny cat RTS called Claws of Power, and I just finished a new unit: the samurai cat Akagoro.

Akagoro is a 7-dried-fish unit. Most of the time he just stands there in his straw hat looking lazy, but he’s meant to be the kind of character where you save up, drop him, and it feels really good.

His first hit is special: he pauses for a brief charge, then suddenly flash-dashes forward and does a fast iai slash. That opening cut usually closes the gap and deletes one target in an instant. After that he goes into a more normal attack rhythm. The idea was to capture that “one clean killing stroke” samurai feeling.

The first gif I recorded is a simple 1v1, the second one is Akagoro in an actual stage after you unlock him.

If you have any ideas for this kind of unit, or feel the numbers look off, I’m happy to hear it and slowly tweak things.

There’s a free demo of Claws of Power on Steam if you’re curious. Any wishlist or comment really helps me a lot as a solo dev. 🐾
