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 frantic, high-energy action brawler where you mow down enemies with stylish combos and upbeat music.

What players say

Players say this is a musou spin-off that retells the story of Mask of Deception in heavily abridged form, making it strictly for series fans. The campaign is short at around five hours, combat is fun but shallow, and split on whether the gameplay alone justifies the purchase.
