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

You carefully manage a squad of pixel-art dwarves through procedural battles, leveling gear and skills against waves of orcs and dragons in a slow, tactical loop.

What players say

Players enjoy the deep autobattler strategy and addictive progression, though some call the gem upgrade scaling frustrating and the menu ads intrusive. A few call it repetitive, while others praise the variety of way to build dwarf troops.
