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

It feels like a chaotic, arcade-style football brawl where over-the-top violence and dark humor mix with fast-paced action and silly dirty tricks.

What players say

Players say this is a faithful revival of the 90s arcade bloodbath, blending NFL Blitz speed with Bloodbowl violence and dark humor. There is solid single-player content in the dynasty mode, though the salary cap and the inability to simulate games frustrate some. Online is active, and many wish the developers would make a mutant hockey game.
