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

You command a tank platoon with deliberate precision, switching between cockpit detail and battlefield overview in methodical armored combat.

What players say

Players praise this as one of the best tank sims ever made, but the Steam release has split them, it works for some out of the box, while others crash on Windows 11, need to disable G-Sync, or run only in software rendering with downgraded visuals.
