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, chaotic hack-and-slash with dramatic battles and satisfying combos against hordes of enemies.

What players say

Players praise the ink-wash art style and improved lock-on, but feel the game focuses narrowly on Nobunaga and Mitsuhide, with development appearing to have stopped. Opinions split on weapon feel: some find it smooth, others clunky and boring.
