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 slow, methodical wargame where every turn means weighing resources and unit placement to outmaneuver enemy forces.

About

Daisenryaku - Master's Combat is the second game in the series released in Playstation (the first one was Daisenryaku - Player's Spirit) and the game is also a strategy game. The game takes place in an alternative World in which the United States is attacked in the 90's by nuclear missiles. The player has to defeat the other armies in the game, to do that he can create and use different attack units (like tanks, combat planes, etc.) The gameplay is divided into 2 different parts: In each turn the player can create new units (with the money that he can), after that he can move his unit (they got a limited range of movement) to attack the enemy ones and conquer his territories.
