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.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call Nova Empire a pay-to-win game with a steep spending requirement, some estimating weekly costs of $30-$200 to stay competitive. The mobile roots show in its automated combat and heavy reliance on timers and microtransactions, and several note it lacks the ship control expected from a PC strategy game.
