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 fast-paced, arcade-style shooter with a retro pixel aesthetic and immersive pseudo-3D visuals that focuses on pure dodge-and-shoot action.

What players say

Players praise DEVIL BLADE REBOOT as a standout entry in the shmup genre, especially for newcomers, thanks to a forgiving normal mode that gives many shields. The scoring system is nearly one-dimensional: point blanking is almost always the safest position. Inferno mode strips away shields and demands serious skill. Visuals and soundtrack are consistently lauded.
