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 bright, retro-styled turn-based card battler where piloting a mech against alien invaders feels tactical and challenging.

What players say
Players praise the addictive mix of deckbuilding and grid tactics, calling it a fresh take on the genre. They appreciate distinct mechs and pilots, though some find the difficulty on the lower side and the art direction bland. A split exists on replayability: many enjoy it, while others cite slow progression and repeated losses as frustrating.
