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.

A fast-paced arena brawler where you constantly adapt your build mid-fight by grabbing loot and upgrades to survive increasingly tough waves.

What players say

Players say Arena Hero is a simple arena brawler that starts easy but spikes in difficulty, especially on champion mode. The combat is repetitive with limited weapons, and some enemies are poorly designed, like floating ones that force waiting. Many bought it with a Steam coupon and found it a fun time killer, though others warn about flashing lights and note the lack of story.
