A lot is coming out in 2023, but somehow, a turn-based RPG that combines a neo-futuristic world with mystery-solving completely passed us by — until today. Mato Anomalies comes from Chinese-based developer Arrowiz and is coming to Switch on 10th March 2023.
That’s in the middle of a crowded period for RPG fans, but the combination of detective work and strategic turn-based battles absolutely should make this stand out from the crowd. You’ll play as both Detective Doe and his unlikely partner in crime Gram to uncover the mysteries behind the fantasised neo-futuristic city of Mato.
As Doe, you’ll spend time on what looks like the surface of the city, interrogating people and solving crimes through interesting card-based puzzles. Gram, then, gets the dirty dungeon-crawling work, using his exorcist powers and a samurai sword to slice his way to the truth. Though Doe will also get his chance at exploring these mysterious underground paths, too…
