Pit-Step Inc. is pleased to announce the start of the Closed Beta Test (CBT) for its upcoming voice-based training × tactical battle game, NINJA CATS: Tactics.
NINJA CATS: Tactics is a new type of voice-driven game where players talk directly to “ninja cats” through their microphone, training and commanding them using natural speech.
The characters react and grow based on the player’s words, making conversation itself a core part of the gameplay experience.
The game features a total of 26 characters, including 16 unique ninja cats and 10 human characters who enrich the story mode.
Each character has distinct personalities and relationships, creating a more natural and immersive experience through ongoing communication with the player.
