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 methodical turn-based wargame where you carefully maneuver units across hex grids under changing weather and terrain conditions.

What players say

Players call it a simplified, entry-level hex wargame that reminds some of Panzer General, but many criticize it for retaining a DS interface that makes every action tedious and slow. The lack of auto-save and corrupted saves frustrate, and later campaigns become unplayable due to enemy air spam and limited anti-air ammo. Players split on whether it is a good introduction or a shallow mobile port.
