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

Playing Battle Girls feels like a light-hearted, anime-style visual novel where you balance mech battles with romancing female co-pilots through playful choices and unlockable scenes.

What players say

Players say it is a short visual novel, not a mech game despite the description. The adult content requires a patch from the developer, but the download links are dead and the developer does not respond. Reviews split on the story, with some finding it boring while others enjoy the character routes, and many note typos.
