RougeMatch the Extraplanar Invasion on switch

First off huge thank you to starstruck games for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated now let’s talk about it.

I played rougematch on the nintendo switch I was going in expecting a simple match 3 game and boy do I wanna kick my own ass for being so wrong about this game that I dont even know where to start off. So ill try my best.

So the game follows a group of friends that found an old castle thats protected by a magical barrier, one thats no one has been able to enter the friends camp out in the night to regain there energy but the mage thinking they were all powerful snuck off and went into the castle hoping to beat it and get back to there friends before sunrise but boy we’re they wrong, then the paladin of the group rushes after the mage basically leaving our character alone and clueless of what’s going on until we jump in the castle and find a recording of our mage friend leaving instructions on the castle and how to progress so we do.
This game takes match 3 to a whole nother level first the puzzle is laid around you and you use the joy stick to select pieces to try and match up I feel they should have made the joy stick for movement and cross buttons for selecting but I digress so there’s monsters in the castle and if they get close they will attack but you can attack them back by matching 3 pieces or by walking into them but becareful you do have a health bar and stats to play with.

Now you have a mana range and inside that range some matches heal your character so your not screwed in combat thinking your done for when you lose health you can heal thankfully. There are also spells and abilities that help you fight but use up mana like an old school rpg so watch out for everything and pay attention.

Each elemental piece offers different effects when triggered and if near a monster will affect them and maybe even stun them for a bit to help you breath in combat.

You also find magic items that are hidden in wall safes that open up when the room is cleared which is pretty cool since you never know what will drop.

This game has 5 different ways of clearing a room and an objective marker telling you what you need to do so your not going into the rooms blind.

I could go on but this game is huge and has so much you need to learn to play is it easy yeah but it has a learning curve that thankfully isnt to hard and yes the game has a tutorial to tell you how to play. The story is divided up into chapters and sadly im struggling so bad to get through the castle I dont know when ill experience the rest also watch out for bosses there mean huge and kick ass but you gotta play to see how huge.

Again big thank you to star struck games for sending me the key this game is on the switch its called RougeMatch the Extraplanar Invasion check it out and enjoy thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Better Than Us

Infiltrate the World of the Ultra-Wealthy in Better Than Us, the Next Game From the BAFTA-nominated Makers of Vampire Therapist

Steal from the mega-rich, give to yourself

Berlin, Germany — December 8, 2025 | Little Bat Games, the award-winning studio behind Vampire Therapist, is proud to announce Better Than Us, a social stealth narrative game that pits players against the world’s most nefarious people — those rich enough to make mere billionaires seem quaint.

Set in the year 2200, Better Than Us depicts a (not entirely absurd) future directly inspired by humanity’s past and present. The wealthiest people in centuries have created floating cities to insulate themselves from a worldwide climate apocalypse of their own creation, not to own mansions and sports cars, but to buy moral authority itself. And surprise, surprise: extreme wealth doesn’t afford anyone a greater sense of morality.

They might have stolen our future, but in Better Than Us the spoils of past plundering and pillaging can be stolen from them. Players will take on the role of a master thief and manipulator (and her rodent pal), infiltrating exclusive parties thrown by the ultra-wealthy in their floating fortresses. Rather than stealth or violence, players will use charm and deception to develop key relationships with a cast of bizarre characters corrupted by their own wealth. They’ll need to remember which lies were told to which people, weaving an ever-growing web of deceit that even an all-powerful oligarchy will struggle to see through. 

Better Than Uscontinues critical hit Vampire Therapist’s tradition of top-tier voice acting, with a cast led by Sarah Grayson (Hades 2, Gone Home) and Cyrus Nemati (Hades 2, Vampire Therapist). Developed in consultation with leading historians from Oxford University, UC Davis, and the University of Florida, the game promises to honestly depict the consequences of extreme wealth concentration in a tongue-in-cheek way.

“Looking to the past is a helpful way of examining modern issues. Not only is the historical record inspiring, but dead people are less able to sue small game studios,” said Cyrus Nemati, creative director at Little Bat Games. 

Better Than Us is coming to PC and Mac in 2026. The game can be wishlisted on Steam. Vampire Therapist is discounted this week as part of Steam’s “Choices Matter” sale.
