Review of Cute Bite [PlayStation 5]

Cute Bite, developed by Ratalaika Games and Hanako Games, presents a unique take on vampire-raising for the PlayStation 5, offering players an intriguing dive into nurturing a pint-sized vampire queen. Let’s delve deeper into what this engaging title has to offer!

Picture this: You, a devoted butler, awaken to find your vampire mistress has shrunk down to child-like proportions after an overextended slumber in her coffin. She’s no longer able to fend for herself, leaving you with the crucial task of guiding her development. Cute Bite challenges your ability to raise your Little Mistress, ensuring she gets the necessary blood and amasses enough fame and fortune to reclaim her former power. This title builds on the charm that fans have come to expect from the publisher and indie developer duo that brought us Long Live the Queen.

As you navigate daily decisions, you’ll steer your little vampire through activities to strengthen her abilities. Strategic dialogue choices are crucial, influencing her journey as you balance her physical and mental well-being. Sometimes, a period of rest is essential for her recovery. She also needs to feed regularly, and you can spend your earnings on items to enhance her stats even further.

Deciding on daily classes for your Little Mistress is key to boosting her statistics across various areas like Technology, Style, and Strength. However, every class has its price, whether a demand on her stamina or adding stress, and more advanced lessons drain more resources. Therefore, ensuring she gets enough rest is necessary to prevent her from getting overwhelmed. Additionally, to fund her growth, she must undertake jobs occasionally, which adds another layer of strategy as jobs require resilience due to their stress-inducing nature.

Trophy hunters will be delighted with Cute Bite’s extensive list of achievements, culminating in a coveted Platinum trophy. The appeal doubles since this game is a Cross-Buy title, enabling access to both PS4 and PS5 versions, each boasting its own trophy list. Tasks range from defeating foes while hunting to bonding with different characters throughout the story, with each achievement unlocking a piece of the Platinum puzzle.

In essence, Cute Bite is a charming blend of simulation and storytelling, steeped in the vampire mythos, where nurturing your Little Mistress from her vulnerable state back to power is your primary goal. With a price of $14.99, you not only get access to both PlayStation versions but also the opportunity to pursue separate sets of trophies on each platform.
