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 whirlwind of tag-team brawling with breakneck speed and chaotic online fights.

What players say

Players praise this SNK cult classic port for its smooth 4-player tag battles and the unique zone-restricted character swap mechanic. The boss is brutally hard, practice mode is a welcome addition, and rollback netcode works well, though matches are hard to find online and the price feels steep for single-player.
