Our take on MatchR: Now Hiring
The run-based trait system trades fixed progression for changing plans from one attempt to the next. Sticker effects add another layer of variation, but players seeking a tightly scripted campaign may find that structure less suitable.
What is MatchR: Now Hiring?
MatchR combines match-3 puzzles with RPG combat and roguelike runs.
Battles can be won by filling mana through matches and using skills, matching specialty orbs to damage opponents, or planning around character traits. Each run starts with one trait, while additional traits can be obtained through loot or purchases. Six playable characters offer three starting traits each, with costumes and backgrounds to unlock. Between runs, MatchR tokens can be spent on a capsule machine containing stickers for an ID Badge; stickers provide effects and may have different values, appearances, or rarity. Optional challenges increase run difficulty and rewards. Progression leads through colleagues toward larger bosses in the MatchR company.
