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
Broken Metal feels like a tense, high-stakes tactical puzzle where every decision is final and your small team must adapt or perish against ever-tougher machine foes.

What players say
Players compare it to Into The Breach for its tight movement-and-attack grid, but say it grows repetitive after 20 floors. Tactics are rewarding and the AI is punishing, though the UI often overlaps the board and development stopped after release.
