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 simple, fast-paced 16-bit shooting action game that feels like a classic arcade brawler with quick movement and attacks.

What players say

Players say Arc Wizards is brutally difficult from the very first screen, with no way to lower the starting difficulty. The controls are responsive but shooting locks your movement, leading to a slower, more cautious pace than typical run-and-gun games. Reviewers split on whether the price matches the content.
