If you were following us in April of last year, you might recall our mention of a quirky strategy RPG, Isekai Dispatcher. Now, the creative minds behind this retro gem have shifted gears to bring us something more serene and adorable: the kitten-themed match-three game, Ash & Snow, set to launch on mobile devices on May 15th.
As with many match-three games, Ash & Snow follows the familiar formula: you'll be matching colorful blocks to clear them and boost your score. Along the way, you'll encounter power-ups to help you clear the board more efficiently and rack up even more points.
However, the real charm of Ash & Snow lies in its titular mascots, Ash and Snow. These delightful kittens will accompany you throughout your puzzle-solving journey, either gracing the main screen or keeping a watchful eye from the top left corner as you play.
With an established developer at the helm, there's little doubt that Ash & Snow will be a well-crafted release. Yet, in a genre where match-three puzzlers often come with unique twists, the presence of these two kittens might seem refreshingly simple. However, let's be real—cats (and lately, capybaras) as characters have proven to be a surefire way to boost game sales, especially in the mobile gaming world.
With just a month left until the release of Ash & Snow, and with details still somewhat scarce, we'll be keeping a close watch for any further updates leading up to the launch.
