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, tactical RTS where you command fleets across vast, shifting desert landscapes, with a tense, atmospheric pace that rewards careful positioning and resource management.

What players say
Players praise the campaign and visual detail but are split on controls and depth. Some find unit balancing lopsided and the story incomplete, while others call it a refreshing RTS. Multiplayer is dead and the forced Epic Games Launcher is a common complaint.
