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 colorful, fast-paced tactical game where you command an orc army through puzzle-like battles, unlocking upgrades as you go.

What players say

Players are split on Ruined Kingdom. Some enjoy the reverse tower defense twist and puzzle-like level design, while others call it a copy of older games with poor performance and a very short campaign. The game lets you play as orcs attacking human defenses, but the early levels feel restrictive with few upgrades.
