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, methodical real-time strategy that demands careful positioning and thoughtful tactical decisions under pressure.

What players say

Players praise the tactical depth where positioning and cover decide battles, but the campaign is hard and its portrayal of Soviets sparks heated debate. Multiplayer suffers from low population and server distance, while the base game feels bare without paid DLC. Long-time players say development stalled when the team moved on to CoH 3.
