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.

What players say

Players say Metal Strike is a generic free-to-play shooter with major usability flaws: you cannot pick up weapons or ammo, cannot reload while moving, and the audio mixing is terrible. The multiplayer is broken and there are very few settings options. A few positive reviews mention addictive gameplay or compare it to Metal Slug, but most reviews focus on the missing features.
