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 hyper-violent, cinematic brawler that feels like a brutal, fast-paced dance of blood and combos.

What players say

Players love the fast combat and iconic roster, but warn that the online is ruled by 10-year veterans so beginners get stomped. The campaign AI is also brutally unbalanced, and keyboard binds are a mess.
