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 slow-burning, strategic grind where persistent progression and faction-based team-building dominate the feel, with competitive multiplayer clashes adding tension.

What players say

Players are split on RAID: Shadow Legends. Some call it a very generous F2P game with deep champion development, while others say it is extremely pay to win and feels like a chore. Many complain about constant purchase pop ups and bugs introduced with updates, but still report hundreds to thousands of hours played.
