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 design and pilot custom vehicles from scratch, managing systems and tactics in a deep, methodical sandbox warfare sim.

What players say

Players say the game has an extremely steep learning curve with poor tutorials, making it hard to get into. The building system is clunky but rewarding for those who stick with it, while the campaign mode feels unbalanced and piecemeal. Long-time players note the developers removed boarding as a resource mechanic.
