If you've been keeping up with mobile gaming trends, you might remember us highlighting the quirky strategy RPG, Isekai Dispatcher, last April. Now, the developers behind that retro-inspired 'trapped-in-another-world' adventure are shifting gears to bring you something a bit more serene and adorable with their new match-three game, Ash & Snow, set to launch on mobile devices on May 15th.
Ash & Snow follows the classic match-three formula to a T. Players will engage in delightful puzzles, matching colored blocks to clear the board and boost their scores. Along the way, you'll encounter power-ups that help you clear blocks more efficiently, ramping up the excitement and your points tally.
The real charm of Ash & Snow lies in its two titular mascots: Ash and Snow. These lovable kittens aren't just part of the game's aesthetic; they're your constant companions. Whether they're helping you solve puzzles on the main screen or cheering you on from the top left corner, their presence adds a heartwarming touch to your gaming experience.
With a solid foundation from an established developer, Ash & Snow is poised to be a well-crafted match-three game. In a genre where unique twists and hooks are becoming the norm, the inclusion of these cute kittens might seem a bit quaint. However, in the world of mobile gaming, the allure of cats—and more recently, capybaras—has proven to be a surefire way to boost game sales.
With just a month left until Ash & Snow hits the app stores, and details still somewhat sparse, we'll be keeping a close watch for any new information leading up to its release.
