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
You strategically pick apart foes in a crunchy, pixelated brawler that feels like a turn-based puzzle wrapped in a darkly funny street fight.

What players say
Players are split on Treachery in Beatdown City's unique mix of turn-based tactics and beat-em-up action. The combat is deep and original, but many find it repetitive and frustrating due to enemy counter mechanics that feel random and a grapple playstyle that seems underpowered. The dialogue earns praise for its humor and heart, though some say it drags on too long.
