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 fast, arcadey brawler where you wield oversized weapons and fight through overwhelming odds with skill-based combat and epic boss battles.

What players say

Players praise the combat and customization but note the campaign is short, multiplayer is empty, and the $1000 DLC is a joke. The game is an arena-based brawler, not a soulslike, and many say it is worth the dollar price despite some technical issues and repetitive level design.
