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, tactical mech strategy game where every move on the battlefield feels consequential and the narrative drives a somber military tone.

What players say

Players are split on this remake. Some appreciate the preserved classic gameplay and customization, while many criticize the terrible UI, excessive hit rate issues, and a grindy late game. Fans of the original enjoy it despite dated visuals and a heavy text load.
