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 methodical grid-based tactical RPG where controlling giant anime robots feels strategic and bombastic at the same time.

What players say

Players praise the crossover story and character interactions, but many criticize the 1080p resolution limit, expensive DLC, and poor map design with forced 1v1 scenarios. Long-time fans are split, with some saying it is better than Super Robot Wars 30 while others feel the series has stagnated.
