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 hectic hybrid of top-down shooter and tower defense where you frantically switch between offense and defense to protect your system.

What players say
Players describe Artificial Defense as an orbital shooter with tower defense and RTS elements, not a traditional tower defense game. They emphasize constant manual shooting and resource management, with a ballistic aiming delay that requires prediction. Some call the tutorial misleading and the upgrade progression grindy.
