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 bright, cartoony beat 'em up where you and a friend casually slap Romans through colorful ancient Gaul.

What players say

Players are split on this one. Fans of the series say it plays worse than its predecessors, with bugs that can trap the game in an unbeatable state and combat that relies on spamming attack. The lack of a jump button frustrates many. Co-op is widely seen as the only fun way to play, and solos find it overly difficult. Performance and camera issues are common complaints.
