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 frantic, silly local-multiplayer brawler where oversized sumo wrestlers stumble around arenas, grab power-ups, and attempt to fling each other out of the ring in short, chaotic rounds.

What players say

Players say Sumo Revise is a free local-multiplayer only brawler that feels like a poor imitation of Super Smash Bros. The controls are unresponsive and the gameplay boils down to button mashing, while the retro pixel art and locked settings add to the frustration. Some also report repetitive gameplay that wears thin quickly.
