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 and physical arcade rugby sim that balances tactical depth with arcade-style action.

What players say

Players call this the best rugby game available for its gameplay, AI, and career mode, but warn that the graphics are poor, teams are unlicensed, and controls can feel clunky, especially with PlayStation controllers.
