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 tactical real-time strategy game where you methodically build fleets and bases to fight slow-paced space battles.

What players say

Players are split on Gemini Wars. Some appreciate its deliberate, slow-burn battles and classic sci-fi story, while others call it tedious and dull. A major 2019 patch fixed stability and removed DRM, but many still find it hard to recommend due to pacing, bugs, and dated design.
