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 well-refined historical strategy game that feels methodical and competitive, balancing tactical depth with long campaigns.

What players say
Players praise the classic RTS gameplay and steady updates, but many are frustrated by frequent patches that break the game, severe multiplayer lag, and a lack of cross-platform support for the Mac version. Reviews also report that single-player anti-cheat software falsely flags legitimate programs, and lengthy lists of civilizations feel like quantity over quality.
