Matcho is an upcoming video game by FiolaSoft Studio. Set in the same universe as FiolaSoft's previous game Blackhole,[3] Matcho mixes elements of first-person shooter and match-3 puzzle games.[4][5] It is scheduled to be released for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and PlayStation 5 on 13 March 2025.[6]

Plot

[edit]

The game is set 40 years prior to the events of Blackhole when Earth is invaded by aliens. Max suffers from a mysterious disease which also gives him superpowers to fight aliens. Max and his friends try to solve a mysterious alien invasion that could cure Max's illness and save the Earth.

Gameplay

[edit]

Matcho is described as a Match-3 first-person shooter action-adventure game.[7][8][9] Players fight enemies by linking three of the same colour together.[10] Besides story mode, there is an infinite mode with its own short campaign that features a variety of quests not linked to the main story. Endless mode is also linked to a number of challenges, online rankings, and Zen mode where player can freely shoot bugs.[3][11]

The game will also offer a Multiplayer with Deathmatch Mode.[3]
