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 methodical, grand-scale strategy game where you balance empire management and fleet command across a dynamic galaxy.

What players say

Players call this a classic but dated space RTS that runs old and lacks modern PC support. Some complain the AI cheats on harder difficulties, while others praise the resource management and random map generator. A few say to buy the Rebellion version instead.
