Topic: Video games about bats and anthro bats?

Posted under Off Topic

So, I have a huge interest in bats. Crazy about them. You could say I’m batty for them. I even made a Steam group about them. And I was wondering, is there any games that have to do with bats, (besides something like Batman), or games that have bat characters that you know of that you would recommend?

Echolocaution?

Sonic Adventure 2/Battle has Rouge the Bat.

Sonic Heroes she can actually fly, unlike SA2 where she can only glide.

BloodRayne 1 has bat creature things(Germany levels).

Pokemon? You could make a team made up of bat-like pokemons. I don't know if the mystery dungeon series lets you play as a bat.

Sadly no, none of the starters are bats, and you're stuck with your main duo for the main game. I don't remember much about Rescue Team, but in Explorers you could only have extras in optional explorations. Any story exploration locked you to just your main two, or perhaps a guildmate (I think mainly Bidoof). There are cheats to change your team but you'll still have moments that refer to the "official" starter.

For the original rescue team, and the explorers games on DS, you can switch which pokemon you play as/control once you finish the main story. Dunno about the 3DS/Switch games though.

there's a bunch of bat simulators on steam, but honestly I wouldn't recommend them, they look like crap.

I can only imagine that there's some sort of Minecraft mod which improves the bats that have been an ambient mob since, what, 2012?
If wanted, maybe combine it with some other mod that gives you more control over mobs and you can make ya own batty experience.

...Maybe bat mods for moddable games in general is worth checking out.

I almost forgot about Macbat 64 on steam. It's a cute and short little retro style platformer game where you play as a bat.
