## Gameplay

Matcho is described as a Match-3 first-person shooter action-adventure game.[5][6][7] Players fight enemies by linking three of the same colour together.[8] 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.[1][9]

The game will also offer a Multiplayer with Deathmatch Mode.[1]

## Plot

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.

## Development

Matcho was in development by Fiolasoft since 2019. First phase of development concluded in 2020 when the game switched to Unreal Engine 4.[10] The game was announced on 30 March 2022 during Game Access.[11][12]

Release was scheduled for 13 March 2025[13] before it was delayed to 17 April 2025. Developers eventually decided to postpone release once agin but without new release date set. They stated that the decision was made after a thorough evaluation of the current state of the project and conclusion that the game needs more time.[14] In August 2025 developers invited fans to participate in playtest noting that Matcho is close to completion, but it needs some fine-tuning.[15]
