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 and punishing 2D fighter where brief, intense battles are woven into a visual novel story.

What players say

Players are split on BattleBlade. Some call it a charming, fun little game with a good story and music despite being clunky, while others say the graphics and gameplay are awful. It is simple to learn but difficult to master, and a few note it has no Chinese language support.
