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 frantically dodge and slash through colorful hordes, collecting loot and growing stronger with each run.

What players say

Players praise the amount of upgrades and unlockable content for the low price, but many are frustrated by the lack of key rebinding and blurry forced TAA and motion blur. A common complaint is not being able to leave a run while keeping currency. The game offers NPC teammates you recruit and customize with skills, which some compare to World of Warcraft combat.
