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.

What players say

Players find Altair Breaker repetitive and shallow, with only a few enemy types and stages. Movement is widely criticized as sluggish and awkward, while combat feels too easy due to generous parrying. Many compare it unfavorably to its predecessor, Swords of Gargantua, saying it lacks depth and challenge. A minority enjoy the co-op and high-speed gliding, but most agree the game feels unfinished.
