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 mix of strategic empire management and large-scale tactical battles, with a focus on commanding armies and building an empire.

What players say

Players call it one of the greatest strategy games ever, with replayability that keeps them coming back for decades. A vocal minority reports that the Barbarian Invasion expansion has been broken on Steam since at least 2019, and players agree the game needs frequent manual saves due to crashes and corrupt files.
