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 turn-based strategy game where you lead magicians, build kingdoms, and wage tactical battles across pixelated fantasy landscapes.

What players say

Players praise it as a fresh, modern take on the Heroes of Might and Magic formula with a unique essence-based magic system and stack caps on units. Some find it gets repetitive and note the base game has only four factions, with DLC factions feeling like they should be included.
