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

It feels like commanding a detailed, tense battlefield where careful planning and unit coordination are essential to grinding out a hard-fought victory.

What players say

Players say this feels more like a cheap mod than a proper Men of War game. The campaign is gone, replaced with repetitive resource-grind missions. Many report unbalanced AI that constantly spawns units, especially against the Soviet side. Fans of Assault Squad 2 may enjoy new models and plane mechanics, but only at a deep discount.
