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 gritty, slow-paced brawler where you methodically beat down thugs in dark, crime-ridden streets as a masked vigilante.

What players say

Players mostly enjoy this as a short, old-school beat 'em up, especially in co-op, though many find it repetitive and simplistic alone. The art style and tie-in story fans like the comics get praise, but the unresponsive camera, lack of combo depth, and repetitive enemy waves draw complaints.
