Cat 3

The release date for Cat 3 is July 20, 2026, on PC. This strategy title shifts away from the cozy roots of the genre, mixing grid-based matching with a roguelite structure and high-velocity screen clears. Players select one of four heroes with distinct perks, such as Peridot’s gold generation or French Fry’s damage scaling, to survive waves of cosmic enemies that telegraph their incoming attacks.

Success relies on drafting rarity-tiered upgrade cards and relics that chain together to automate board clears. Rather than just clearing tiles, you are building a passive damage engine where a single match can trigger a cascade of crits and lifesteal. The primary challenge lies in balancing board management with the drafting of these stacking passives to outscale the bosses. Strategy fans who want a faster, combat-focused spin on the match-3 loop should keep this on their radar.
