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 tense and methodical squad-based tactical shooter that demands careful positioning and realistic WWII firefights.

What players say

Players say this sequel is nearly identical to Road to Hill 30 with minor graphical and weapon improvements, but its controls and mechanics have aged very poorly, with janky gunplay and terrible grenade throwing. The squad-based tactical combat is still praised, though players are split on whether the nostalgic story outweighs the frustration.
