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 competitive fantasy where you defend your castle by managing resources, deploying unique units, and casting spells in turn-based battles.

What players say

Players say the game was abandoned by its developer with no updates for nearly a year, leaving it unbalanced and punishingly hard with only a single difficulty mode. Fans of the original StarCraft 2 map are disappointed, calling this version worse. A few enjoy the core concept but agree content is thin.
