Our take on Catana
The defining detail is its match-based combat: players create matches to remove enemy groups, unleash special attacks, and face bosses.
What is Catana?
Catana is a point-and-click matching game set around a monastery affected by an unexplained disturbance in nature.
Players guide the young disciple Catana as he learns attacks under the Master’s guidance. Create matches to eliminate groups of enemies, unleash special attacks, and take down bosses.
