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 fantasy tactics game where positioning and support effects matter on isometric grid maps.

What players say

Players say this is a budget tactical RPG that closely reuses assets and systems from earlier Mercenaries games. The story is straightforward, combat can feel grindy, and the final battle is widely considered unbalanced. Fans of the genre find it a decent time-waster on sale, but note little innovation across the series.
