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 nostalgic and humorous turn-based gladiator brawler with lighthearted combat and retro charm.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgia of these flash-game gladiator RPGs, especially Swords & Sandals 2 and 3, but note the ports are buggy with softlocks and glitches. The series delivers turn-based combat and build variety, though progression often requires grinding and some final bosses demand a specific build.
