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 deliberate, turn-based tactical experience where you command WWII tank units through historically grounded battles with a methodical pace.

What players say

Players see this as a budget, simplified version of Panzer General with hex-based tactical combat. Maps are small and scenarios are short, but balance is inconsistent and the RNG heavily determines outcomes. Many note it is a mobile port, and some say the entire Tank Battle series feels copy-pasted.
