Astro Aqua Kitty Collector's Edition

Cats. In space. Shooting robots. In an action RPG shmup hybrid. The Astro Aqua Kitty Collector's Edition for PS Vita takes the feline crew from the original Aqua Kitty and launches them into asteroid-filled waters for an adventure that's far deeper than its adorable exterior suggests.

This isn't just a shoot'em up with a cute skin. Astro Aqua Kitty is a legitimate action RPG where you pick your crew from a roster of pilot and engineer animals, each bringing different skills and attributes to the mission. As you blast through bizarre robotic enemies in cavernous underwater alien environments, you're gaining XP, leveling up, unlocking crew skills, and customizing your ship with new weapons and equipment. It's the kind of progression system that keeps you playing long after the initial charm wears off, except the charm never actually wears off because you're a cat in a spaceship.

The gem mining adds another layer, giving exploration a tangible reward structure beyond just clearing rooms. And those marauding pirate rabbits trying to beat you to the loot add just enough competitive tension to keep every expedition feeling urgent. The whole package is polished, surprisingly deep, and endlessly replayable.

For Vita collectors, Astro Aqua Kitty in physical form is a genuine treasure. It represents the Vita at its best, a portable platform where indie developers could deliver experiences that punched well above their weight class. The limited nature of this collector's edition on a closed platform means every copy that exists is already accounted for somewhere. Make sure one of them is accounted for on your shelf.
