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 and immersive strategy game where you build empires and command armies in epic, tactical real-time battles within a vivid dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players praise the epic battles and faithful Warhammer Fantasy adaptation, but warn that the game increasingly functions as a DLC for the sequels. Many report launcher and stability issues, especially on Linux, and the chaos invasion campaign is considered brutally hard. Players are split on the short campaigns, which many find restrictive and frustrating.
