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

Playing Multiwinia feels like commanding squads of blocky, pixelated troops in hectic, arcade-style battles that are more about frantic fun than serious strategy.

What players say

Players praise Multiwinia as a simple, fun RTS that's great for short sessions, but warn that the multiplayer is dead and the singleplayer AI is braindead. Fans compare it to Pikmin and say it's best played with friends, though newcomers may find the chaos frustrating.
