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.

A methodical, large-scale real-time strategy game where you build bases, command armies, and harness divine powers across campaigns and multiplayer battles.

What players say

Players praise the faithful visual update and fresh content, but a significant number report that recent patches broke multiplayer and even single-player, making the game unplayable for some. Opinions split on the AI and controls, with some finding them clunky or worse than the original.
