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 describe Golden Axe II as a short, simple beat 'em up that feels more like an expansion pack than a true sequel. The improved magic system and new back spin attack are appreciated, but the game is criticized for being too easy and not evolving much from the original, with some comparing it unfavorably to Streets of Rage.
