The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A tactical retro real-time strategy game where you command historical generals in classic Three Kingdoms battles.

What players say

Players compare it unfavorably to the 7th entry, saying the custom character models are ugly, the skill and weapon pool is shallow, and the fantasy elements like divine beasts are gone. Bugs like stuck enemies in siege missions are reported, and long-time players note development has stalled with no workshop support.
