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

Retro Dungeons feels like a frantic, pixelated arcade brawler where you smash through endless waves of enemies with randomized weapons and spells, chasing faster clear times.

What players say

Players find the game addicting but brutally difficult, with one noting the final boss is cool. They praise its unique weapons and abilities, while saying it feels rough around the edges and needs more updates and fine-tuning.
