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 classic fantasy RPG with grid-based movement, turn-based combat, and a party-focused adventure across a magical world.

What players say

Players call Dragon Wars a tough, open-ended RPG that expects you to figure things out on your own, with a story delivered through notes and clues. It is compared to the Bard's Tale, Wasteland, and early Wizardry games, and some note it was meant to be an unofficial Bard's Tale IV.
