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

Building and testing custom combat robots in deadly arenas feels like a hands-on, destructive engineering puzzle where every match is a tense gamble of metal and sparks.

What players say

Players nearly all agree the game was released unfinished and quickly abandoned, making it far inferior to its predecessor Robot Arena 2. Long-time fans complain about terrible hitboxes, a lack of components, no tutorial, and weight classes thrown together, while a small minority enjoy the soundtrack and the core concept.
