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

Feels like a playful, low-stakes arcade shoot-’em-up with adorable visuals and breezy multiplayer sessions.

What players say

Players call GOCCO OF WAR a dead game with almost no online population, making it unplayable as intended. It is compared to Phantasy Star Online with a chibi anime aesthetic. Some still find it fun with friends, but there is no meaningful single-player content and updates have stopped since 2019.
