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 grim, methodical real-time tactical struggle where every cautious move and resource feels precious against the harsh backdrop of a brutal historical war.

What players say
Players are split: nostalgia for the 25-year-old wargame is strong, but many report constant crashes that make the campaign unplayable. A few mention it runs fine on Steam Deck with an ini edit, while others say multiplayer is disabled.
