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

Commanding large armies in a historically accurate simulation with smart AI and complex morale feels methodical and immersive.

What players say

Players say the game is abandoned and lost multiplayer features, with AI that feels biased and unpredictable. It is compared unfavorably to the more feature-rich Ultimate General: Civil War. Some find it a pure tactical challenge, but many call it frustrating or unfinished.
