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 deliberate and methodical tabletop-inspired wargame where each turn feels like moving miniature armies across a historical battlefield.

What players say

Players describe Field of Glory II as a faithful digital recreation of tabletop ancient wargames, with realistic battles that fans prefer over Total War. It is easy to learn but hard to master, though players split on the pace, some call battles slow and unit combat spongey, while the clunky interface frustrates even supporters.
