What Coffee Crisis is
Coffee Crisis is an arcade game developed by Mega Cat Studios and released in 2017. It was published by e360 Technologies. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Linux, Mac, PC (Microsoft Windows) and Web browser. It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
An evil race of aliens called the Smurgliens has watched Earth for years. Through their observations, they deduce that the best humanity has to offer is its wifi, cat videos, metal music, and coffee. Two baristas from the Black Forge Coffee House, Nick and Ashley, take it upon themselves to confront the threat after their coffee shop is invaded.
How it plays
It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action and science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer and Single player. There are 48 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Coffee Crisis holds a critic score of 72 out of 100. That places it above 46% of the 2,164 rated arcade games in our database, which average 70. Games released in 2017 averaged 71, so it scored about average for its year.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2.0+ Ghz, 512 MB RAM and AMD Radeon HD 5670 1GB DDR3 Sapphire. At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Coffee Crisis launched on 24 February 2017, within three weeks of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn, NieR: Automata and Hollow Knight. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn, NieR: Automata, Hollow Knight.
