What's the Story?

Battle Kitty is an interactive adventure series about a cute little kitty and his best friend, Orc (both characters are voiced by show creator Matt Layzell). The two travel through their futuristic medieval world fighting enemies and exploring. When Kitty gets agitated, his powers are activated.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 18 ):
Kids say ( 8 ):

This edgy series doesn't quite know who its audience is, or why it's interactive -- that said, it's still a fun romp through a goofball kingdom. Unlocking episodes feels a little more like a chore than a game, but kids will find the relationship between the unlikely friends charming (while parents may not love the potty humor).
