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-paced, arcade-style naval combat game that balances strategic command with direct action against a relentless enemy.

What players say

Players describe Battle Group 2 as a simple arcade naval shooter where clicking to fire missiles and learning enemy patterns is the core loop. It is short, around 2 to 3 hours, and some say it becomes too easy once the best ships are unlocked. A handful of players find the full price too high for what is offered, and a level 25 difficulty spike frustrates some.
