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 fast-paced turn-based tactical game where every unit and ability feels weighty, demanding careful positioning and decisive action in the grimdark aesthetic of the 41st Millennium.

What players say

Players praise the campaign and atmosphere, saying it closely captures the tabletop experience. Many criticize the aggressive DLC model that splits army content across paid packs, and some report poorly balanced AI with constant enemy spawning.
