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 stylish, fast-paced hack-and-slash where cute sword spirits gracefully mow down waves of enemies amid dramatic Sengoku-era set pieces.

What players say

Players who already love Touken Ranbu are delighted to see their favorites in 3D with lots of character interactions. On the other hand, those expecting a standard Warriors game find the combat sluggish, the maps small, and the difficulty low. The story relies heavily on franchise knowledge, and several reviews call the price too high for the length.
