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 design blocky spaceships and watch automated battles unfold, with a focus on strategic fleet composition rather than direct control.

What players say

Players compare Vectored Armada to Reassembly, Cosmoteer, and Gratuitous Space Battles. They highlight the free-form ship building and hands-off auto battler combat. Some players find it slower paced and more strategic than similar games, and many note it is still in early access with rough edges.
