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 fast-paced tactical RPG where you build a deck of BattleChips and battle enemies on a grid, blending action and strategy with a retro pixel aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the collection as a long-awaited way to replay the first three Battle Network games, with buster max mode cutting down on grind. Most agree BN1 is rough and easy to get lost in, while BN3 has the best story. Several non-English speakers note the lack of a Spanish translation is a significant drawback.
