MATCHO is a unique first-person shooter with match-3 mechanics

First-person shooting and match-3 together? MATCHO sure does sound strange but it also looks like it could be tons of fun and it's coming to Linux.

"MATCHO is bringing puzzles into the combat. It‘s Match-3 FPS - a unique combination of genres that merges frenetic shooting with quick decision-making. Explore story-driven chapters as you choose destiny for Max, his friends, and the rest of the world. Fight in action-packed arenas like never before and explore intricate areas –⁠ all that with breathtaking visuals and an insane arsenal of abilities including the freedom of parkour movement."
