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 nostalgic side-scrolling brawler with fast-paced combo-driven combat and a classic arcade feel.

What players say

Players praise The TakeOver as a solid beat 'em up with a striking comic-book look and satisfying combat, especially the way firearms are handled. Some find boss fights cheap and the moveset limited, while a few call the controls unacceptably dated.
