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 raw, street-level brawler that puts you in the thick of New York's gang underworld, where every fight feels like survival and the city itself is out to get you.

About

Based on the 1979 movie of the same name. A battle on the New York streets. The armies of the night number 60,000 strong, and tonight they're all after The Warriors - a street gang wrongly accused of killing a rival gang leader.

What players say

Praised as one of the best movie tie-ins ever, a gritty, atmospheric beat-'em-up that faithfully expands the cult 1979 film with surprising depth. It feels rough, mean and immersive, a hidden gem that won over fans and newcomers alike.
