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

You command armies and navies on a detailed map, zooming from grand strategy to regiment-level battles in real-time, with a methodical, historical feel.

What players say

Players are deeply split. Many call it an unfinished, abandoned project from its publisher, a major step back from Ultimate General: Civil War with a clunky UI, a needlessly complex campaign, and weak combat. A small minority enjoy the logistics and planning, but the overwhelming sentiment is that the game was abandoned before it was ready.
