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

A strategic turn-based squad management game with tense tactical battles and a mercenary management feel.

What players say

Players call it a stripped-down Jagged Alliance that feels unfinished. Combat has problems like missed shots at point blank and narrow vision cones. The AI is weak, the campaign is short, and performance can be poor. Fans of the series are split, with some finding it barely passable and others calling it a failure.
