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

Axis Football 2024 feels like a deep, customizable sports sim where you methodically build and manage a team, with fluid on-field action and layered strategic decisions.

What players say

Players are split on this indie football game. Many appreciate it as a cheap alternative to Madden with a solid franchise mode, but others find that mode broken or shallow with unrealistically easy finances, clunky controls, and dated graphics. Long-time players say blocking and gameplay improved in the 2024 version.
