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

Managing armies with tactical depth and historical grit during medieval war campaigns feels methodical and violent.

What players say

Players praise the historical campaigns and close-up battle scenes, but many find the combat sluggish and the factions too similar. Some compare it favorably to Company of Heroes or call it a medieval version of that series.
