How does one “turn a genre on its head?” Well, the easiest way is to take what the genre is known for…and throw in something truly unexpected that makes the game more than it was before. Fellow Traveller did just that with its unique title Titanium Court. The game fuses Match-3 gameplay alongside tower defense mechanics while adding in a deep story and characters for you to work your way through. It’s both insane and thoughtful all at the same time, and now, it’s out on console and PC. Here’s the breakdown for you:

“A surreal match-3 tower defense game with an absurdist sense of humour, Titanium Court is difficult to describe and even harder to forget. As the appointed Queen of the Titanium Court, you’ll swap and match tiles on a match-3 battlefield to gain an advantage in tower defense battles.

From there, things get weird. Expect sharp-witted musings, long-winded metaphors, and some baseball references, all underpinned by a surprisingly emotional story.

The console and mobile versions make Titanium Court even easier to take wherever you go, whether you’re playing on the big screen in the living room, on the bus, at the zoo, and yes, even in the bathroom.”

Sounds like quite the mind trip, wouldn’t you say? Yet, it’s been praised ever since it was released on PC, including being hailed as one of the best games of the year. So, if you’re interested in it, the title is available right now on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Android, and iOS.
