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 turn-based strategy game with anime-style visuals and comedic undertones set in a dystopian military world.

What players say

Players say this third entry removes the ability to build and customize your own army, giving you a fixed set of tanks per mission and no grinding for upgrades. The core combat stays the same as earlier games, with one-hit kills and fog of war, but the new restrictions make it feel more like a puzzle. Long-time fans are split on whether the change is refreshing or frustrating.
