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 massive-scale tactical real-time strategy game that feels like commanding thousands of tiny soldiers in dense, chaotic historical clashes.

What players say

Players praise the game's scale and sound, noting its similarity to Ultimate General: Civil War and Total War. They are split on the need for more detailed terrain, formations like column and square, and better camera controls. The price of 30 USD is considered too high by some. The AI is generally seen as decent, but there are reports of it failing to attack in some scenarios.
