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 frantic, reactive sword-fight where every move and guard must be perfectly timed against relentless monster attacks.

What players say

Players split on Miko Melee. Some find its single-move-set combat rewarding and fair once mastered, with good difficulty scaling. Others say the execution falls flat, calling the gameplay unsatisfying and pointing to better options on Steam. A common point is that the game asks players to knock enemies into ring edges for explosions, and using a heal item also heals the boss.
