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 tactical real-time strategy game where you command mechs and heroes in challenging base-building battles against alien invasions.

What players say

Players praise the low-stress, bite-sized missions and four distinct factions, but many note it is a mobile port with simplified mechanics like no unit splitting and a focus on F2A tactics. There is disagreement on whether the simplicity is a welcome casual experience or a design flaw.
