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 methodical real-time tactics game where you manage a mercenary company and command mechs in large-scale military conflicts.

What players say

Players are split on this tactical game. Many report it is buggy and broken, and say the developer abandoned it soon after launch. Those who enjoy it appreciate the squad persistence and skill trees, but nearly everyone agrees the maps are too large and units too slow, making missions drag.
