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.

What players say

Players warn Warbanners is brutally difficult with miss-chance frustration, constant crashes that reset missions, and no mid-mission saves. The campaign is short and story-driven, built around handcrafted battles where positioning and terrain matter, but many find the low hit percentages and punishing design too much even on casual mode.
