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 lighthearted strategy game where physics-driven chaos and simple unit commands create a casual, sandboxy feel for historical battles.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is a shameless TABS rip-off or a TABS-inspired game with its own ideas. Some praise the destructible objects while others report long battles, camera issues, and a crash on the first campaign mission.
