Catgirl Rage: Claws of Fury at OIGS2026: A New Beat 'em Up Adventure from the Creators of Catgirl Survivor
At the OSAKA INDIE GAMES SUMMIT 2026 (OIGS2026), Minimum Studio Corp. showcased their upcoming title Catgirl Rage: Claws of Fury. While it inherits the universe of the popular roguelike Catgirl Survivor, the gameplay undergoes a major genre shift, moving from top-down survival to a classic 2D beat 'em up.
The story takes place after the defeat of the previous game's final boss, Dark Ego. As a red moon rises, dimensional boundaries collapse, allowing demons to invade the modern world. The catgirl mages travel through various real-world inspired locations—including Tokyo, Times Square, the Alps, and Mexico—to track down the mastermind behind the invasion.
The combat system blends classic beat 'em up mechanics with modern action elements. Players can perform aerial combos and utilize character-specific magic skills. A key mechanic highlighted in the demo is the parry system, which is essential for breaking boss defenses. Players earn coins from enemies to reroll stats, unlock skills, or pay for continues, though the cost of continuing increases with each death.
Catgirl Rage: Claws of Fury supports two-player local co-op, with CEO Kim Hyona mentioning that online multiplayer is a planned future feature. The game is scheduled for release on November 30, 2026, for PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
During the OIGS2026 demonstration, gameplay was tested using the character AKANE. Her combat style focuses on melee strikes, featuring sequences of uppercuts, aerial rushes, and heavy heel drops. Interestingly, while some of her moves appear to be magic, they are described as being fueled by pure physical spirit.
The progression system allows players to not only unlock new skills but also reroll existing stat increases. If a random stat boost received after a stage is undesirable, players can spend coins to reroll it. Notably, character progression is not reset upon death, allowing players to attempt stages again without losing their upgrades, though a full reset of progress is available in the settings for those who prefer a fresh start.
