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 straightforward chess game with animated medieval battle sequences that bring the tabletop strategy to life.

What players say

Players love the nostalgic battle animations but many complain the game runs as slow as it did on 1980s hardware, with no speed-up option. It is literally chess, enhanced only by the humorous piece-capture fights.
