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 grand historical strategy that feels like commanding vast armies across a living, detailed ancient world with deliberate pacing and tactical depth.

What players say

Players are split: some say the remaster is buggy with a worse UI and cartoonish graphics, while others enjoy it as a polished version of the classic with better performance than the original. Crash-to-desktop from the agents menu and stutter in rainy battles are common complaints, but long-time fans appreciate the included expansions and mod support.
