Provoke explosive chain reactions and experiment ever-evolving combat strategies in this mech-building roguelike auto battler. Mix and match components and mech modules to discover powerful synergies, then watch each creation spring to life in satisfying combat sequences.


Cats in the Shell is a build-crafting roguelike auto-battler centered around mech assembly. Recruit feline pilots, each with their own abilities and strategic focuses, then construct a custom battle machine from a robust arsenal of parts and upgradable modules. Pair different components to create specialized builds that will lead to a wide array of combat strategies. Unlock distinct progression paths by synergizing different parts and archetypes. Adapt to random events, limited resources, and formidable enemies while constantly refining the mecha’s loadout. Put each configuration to the test in automated battles, and experience the satisfaction of watching epic chain reactions, satisfying synergies, and strong upgrades snowball into the unstoppable war machines.

Assemble battle machines by selecting and equipping new parts throughout each run. Combine mech components and enhancement modules to create distinctive builds, unlock powerful synergies, and continuously strengthen the machine during and between battles.

Mix and match a vast selection of parts, modules, and archetypes to discover countless possibilities. Strategically adapt to random events and shop offerings, as each decision will shape the outcome of the run. Every playthrough delivers a fresh mech assembly experience.

Watch every design choice come to life in spectacular automated battles. Put each build to the test through explosive clashes of steel and firepower, then witness increasingly powerful machines unleash devastating chain reactions as the run progresses.

Challenge battle machines assembled by other players around the world without the pressure of real-time matchmaking. Test builds against the creations of other pilots, overcome new strategic challenges, and discover fresh ideas for future runs.
