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 co-op brawler with cartoonish fantasy action, where you and friends hack through enemies and collect loot on a side-scrolling battlefield.

What players say

Players split on Sacred Citadel. Co-op with a friend is fun, but solo players find the combat repetitive and slow. Several report a game-breaking bug in act 4 that blocks progress. Online multiplayer is dead. Long-time reviews say the game is a disappointing departure from the Sacred series.
