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 dense and intricate 4X strategy game where careful planning meets chaotic real-time battles, marred by a steep learning curve and technical rough edges.

What players say
Players are split on Sword of the Stars II. Many say it launched broken and was never fully fixed, leaving the game reliant on fan mods. The UI is widely criticized as confusing and obtuse, and mechanics like the admiral system can be frustrating. However, those who dig deep praise the depth of ship design and the unique tactical combat.
