Ash & Snow: New Match-Three Game Coming Soon from Isekai Dispatcher Creators

If you fondly recall our mention of the quirky strategy RPG Isekai Dispatcher from April last year, you're in for a treat. The creative minds behind that retro-inspired, 'trapped-in-another-world' game have now shifted gears to bring us something softer and more endearing: Ash & Snow, a new match-three game featuring adorable kittens, set to launch on mobile on May 15th.

As with any match-three game, Ash & Snow involves matching colored blocks to clear them and boost your score. You'll encounter power-ups along the way, which help you clear the board more efficiently and rack up even higher points. But what truly sets this game apart are its two charming mascots, Ash and Snow. These delightful kittens accompany you throughout your puzzle-solving journey, either on the main screen or watching over you from the top left corner.

With a title like Ashy with a chance of snow, it's clear that the developers are banking on the allure of these feline companions. Given their track record, there's little doubt that Ash & Snow will be a well-crafted game. However, in a market saturated with match-three puzzlers that often introduce unique twists, the simple charm of two kittens might feel refreshingly quaint. Yet, as we've seen, the inclusion of cats—and more recently, capybaras—as game characters can significantly boost mobile game sales.

With just a month left until the release of Ash & Snow, and with limited details available so far, we'll be keeping a close watch for any new information as the launch date approaches.
