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 are deeply split on this sequel. Many say it is a downgrade from the first Iron Marines: units ignore orders, pathfinding breaks, the camera scroll is painfully slow, and there is no AI skirmish mode. Others find it a comfortable, improved version with more unit variety and better balance than the original. Long-time fans argue the developer should stick to tower defense.
