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 tactical, tense tower defense where split-second decisions on land, sea, and air shift the course of a gritty sci-fi war.

What players say

Players are split on Molten Armor. Some enjoy the soundtrack and non-linear story choices, but many criticize the limited turret types, forced placement spots, and lack of pause. Several note the game punishes on hard difficulty and has a tedious start. Disagreement centers on whether the narrative adds value or is just poorly written filler.
