If you fondly remember our coverage of the quirky strategy RPG Isekai Dispatcher from April last year, then get ready for something equally delightful but a bit more serene. The creative minds behind that retro gem are now bringing us Ash & Snow, a charming new match-three game set to hit mobile devices on May 15th. This time around, they're focusing on a calmer and cuter experience, featuring two adorable kittens as your constant companions.
As with any match-three game, Ash & Snow follows the familiar formula. You'll be tasked with matching colored blocks to clear them and boost your score. Along the way, you'll encounter power-ups that help you clear the board faster and rack up even more points. It's a straightforward and enjoyable gameplay loop that fans of the genre will appreciate.
But what truly sets Ash & Snow apart are its titular mascots: Ash and Snow. These lovable felines will be by your side throughout your puzzle-solving journey, whether on the main screen or watching you from the top left corner. Their presence adds a heartwarming touch to the game, making each match feel like a cozy adventure.
Coming from an established developer, we can expect Ash & Snow to be a well-crafted release. While the match-three genre is often filled with games that introduce unique twists, the inclusion of two kittens might seem quaint by comparison. However, given the proven popularity of cats (and recently capybaras) in mobile games, this could be a winning formula.
With just a month until the release of Ash & Snow, details are still emerging. We'll keep you updated as more information becomes available ahead of the launch.
