2023 will see a lot of releases, but up until today, we were absolutely unaware of a turn-based RPG that mixes a neo-futuristic setting with mystery-solving. On March 10, 2023, Mato Anomalies, a game by Chinese developer Arrowiz, will launch on Switch.
It’s in the middle of a crowded time for RPG enthusiasts, but the blend of investigative work and tactical turn-based combat should set this game apart. In order to solve the secrets surrounding the imagined neo-futuristic metropolis of Mato, you will take on the roles of both Detective Doe and his odd companion in crime, Gram.
As Doe, you’ll spend time questioning people and solving crimes using intriguing card-based puzzles on what appears to be the city’s surface. The dirty dungeon crawling is then left to Gram, who uses his exorcist abilities and a samurai sword to cut his way to the truth. However, Doe will also get the opportunity to explore these enigmatic tunnels…
