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

Controlling summoned heroes in real-time tactical combat feels like methodical chess with bursts of hectic monster-slaying action.

What players say

Players recommend the game for its unique blend of tower defense and action, with fast levels and rewarding difficulty. But many note the controls feel delayed and the achievements are broken, with some finding the game too frantic and unforgiving.
