About the Game

Something in Max matches what’s invading Earth.

Triagon wants answers. Max wants a cure. Neither has much time.

FIND A CURE. STOP THE INVASION.

Meet Max, a 25-year-old who spent the last 8 years locked deep underground in Triagon laboratories. His “illness” is violent outbursts of anomalous energy. There’s no permanent cure, only control, so his life depends on Triagon tech.

Then Thomas Jetsen shows up with an emergency mission: Triagon’s military general has been taken by strange, bug-like creatures from outer space. And the impossible detail: their measured energy signature is identical to Max’s.

That’s where the story begins. Rescue the general, push back the invasion, and uncover what Max really is. What used to ruin his life may be the only thing that can save it.

MOVE. SHOOT. THINK. CONNECT EVERYTHING.

Every fight is a fast tactical loop: 1. Tag an enemy 2. Find at least two more of the same color 3. Execute your combo.

Read the battlefield, strike fast, and trigger chains you created. Easy to learn yet challenging to master.

And it’s not just aim and cover. MATCHO gives you freeform parkour for speed and style: reposition, dash, wallrun, and strike from angles enemies won’t expect.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

Between fights, you’ll explore sci-fi locations, solve clever puzzles, and take on platforming challenges. The Match-3 idea shows up outside combat too, in unexpected ways.
