If you were with us in April of last year, you might recall our mention of a quirky strategy RPG called Isekai Dispatcher. Now, the creative minds behind that retro-inspired 'trapped-in-another-world' game are shifting gears to something more serene and adorable with their latest release, Ash & Snow. This charming match-three game, featuring two delightful kittens, is set to launch on mobile devices on May 15th.
As expected from a match-three game, Ash & Snow involves matching colored blocks to clear them and boost your score. Along the way, you'll encounter power-ups that help you clear the board more efficiently and rack up those points faster. But what truly sets this game apart are its mascots, Ash and Snow. These adorable felines will accompany you throughout your puzzle-solving journey, either on the main screen or keeping a watchful eye from the top left corner as you play.
While Ash & Snow promises to be a competently crafted game, given its developer's track record, it enters a market saturated with match-three puzzlers that often offer unique twists on the genre. The inclusion of two kittens as a selling point might seem quaint in comparison, yet it's undeniable that feline characters—and more recently, capybaras—tend to boost game sales, particularly in the mobile gaming space.
With just a month until Ash & Snow hits the app stores, and details still emerging, we'll be keeping a close watch for any new information leading up to its launch.
