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 relentless side-scrolling shooter with a fast, arcade-like pace as you blast through aliens in a cyborg revenge quest.

What players say

Players compare Metal Suits to Broforce and early Metal Slug, with some calling it a weaker version while others enjoy the pixel art and fast action. Opinions split on difficulty: some find frustrating instakill traps and cheap enemy placement, while later patches eased instant-death patterns. A minority report inconsistent jumping and falling through ladders.
