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 tense, methodical tower defense where you use radar to predict and destroy waves of enemies.

What players say

Players describe Radar Defense as a casual tower defense game where you manually aim each gun, and the radar only reveals enemies intermittently, adding a Battleship-like guessing element. While some initially feared microtransactions from its mobile origins, multiple players confirm the PC version has none, though a few dismissed it as a shallow port.
