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 deliberate, thoughtful historical simulation that immerses you in managing feudal domains and waging war through careful planning.

What players say

Players praise the sandbox city-building and logistics, but the port is nearly unaltered from 1999 and suffers from extreme interface problems. Map scrolling flings you across Japan, the UI is tiny, and the game regularly freezes on Windows 10 and 11. Veterans note scenarios and character editing from console versions are missing. Most say the price is too high for a bare port.
