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 fast-paced strategic loop where every choice matters, blending minimal retro aesthetics with punishing roguelike progression.

What players say

Players call Rogue Battler a fast, minimalist auto-battler roguelike that fits quick sessions and second-monitor multitasking. They praise its low price, simple stat-focused choices, and 10-15 minute runs, though a minority finds it slow with boring decisions.
