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

You pilot a versatile mech switching between air and ground combat in intense, large-scale battles.

What players say

Players praise the unique transforming mech gameplay and nostalgic charm, but note dated graphics, limited resolution, and frequent controller compatibility problems. Many call it a forgotten gem, though some find the difficulty spike at the end jarring.
