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

Piloting a mech through a dramatic, linear rebellion story with action-focused combat.

What players say

Players praise the full Japanese voice acting and low price, but split on the game. Many are frustrated by poor visibility of enemies against the background, a lack of reroll or banish for weapons, and a progress-stopping bug on stage 4-2. The short campaign and thin story disappoint, though the mecha theme and silky performance appeal to bullet-heaven fans.
