If you were with us in April of last year, you may remember our mention of a quirky strategy RPG called Isekai Dispatcher. Now, the developers behind that retro-inspired 'trapped-in-another-world' game are shifting gears with a more serene and adorable match-three puzzle game titled Ash & Snow, set to launch on mobile devices on May 15th.
Ash & Snow brings you the familiar delight of match-three gameplay, where you align 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 even more points.
The real charm of Ash & Snow lies in its two adorable mascots: Ash and Snow. These cute kittens will accompany you throughout your puzzle-solving journey, appearing on the main screen or perched in the top left corner, cheering you on as you play.
With a month to go until the release of Ash & Snow, and with details still emerging, we'll be keeping a close watch for any new updates leading up to its launch. Given the developers' track record, we can expect a well-crafted game, though it may seem quaint amidst the array of match-three puzzlers that often feature unique twists. However, the inclusion of cats (and recently, capybaras) as game characters has proven to be a successful formula, especially in the mobile gaming market.
