Capybara Games' RPG puzzler Grindstone hits the Switch eShop later today as a console launch exclusive.
Formerly an Apple Arcade exclusive, Grindstone which mixes fantasy adventure with puzzling solving to create an interesting fusion which isn't entirely dissimilar to the classic Nintendo DS outing Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes – which also happens to be a Capybara game.
Here's some PR:
Grindstone Mountain is overrun with vicious Creeps! Slay your way up its treacherous peak where fortune, glory (and death) awaits!
It’ll take sharp puzzle skills and an even sharper blade to cleave your way through the swarms of bloodthirsty Creeps dwelling within Grindstone’s dungeons. Battle bosses, loot resources, discover long-lost blueprints for powerful gear, all while cleaving the innards from your deadly foes! 150 levels of intense puzzle-battling madness!
A physical version of the game is also coming, thanks to iam8bit.

Speaking of Apple Arcade, hopefully Sega will release ChuChu Rocket Universe on consoles...
@Noid And Rayman Mini. I'm not buying a dang Apple product just to play Rayman.
It's getting a physical release from iam8bit as well, pre-orders open now.

Had me at Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes. That was a darn near PERFECT integration of RPG and puzzle mechanics. I'll be getting this straight away based on the strength of developer.
@Muddy_4_Ever Same!
This got some rave reviews on Apple arcade. I'm going to have to check it out at some point.
I had an Apple Arcade trial and basically just played this game, it's very addictive.

Yeah I loved Clash of Heroes so I'll be getting this too
Out of the 200 odd DS games I played, Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes was a real favourite of mine (and my oldest son's). This does have some similarities to that game but also kind of doesn't (as far as I can see from this gameplay footage).
I see where you were coming from though. I like a good puzzle battler in general so this is a top level wishlist item for me!
This game is actually 100% great, though I felt like today’s direct was a little mobile-heavy.
@Muddy_4_Ever Ditto! Actually been waiting for this to make the jump from Apple Arcade. Btw, Critter Crunch was also pretty darn good
Looks like a mobile game, if I wanted to play a mobile game I'd play it on my iPhone. So, I'm skipping this.
Really enjoyed Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes. Would have been nice if this had been a sequel.
Not sure about this game. Even though cartoony, kind of gross. Will see how it reviews.
Just downloaded after reading era impressions of the game. Nice interview with developers below.

Meh looks like any other mobile game, I'll get it if ever goes for pennies on the eShop.
I’ve heard nothing but great things about this game. Not generally my thing, but I think I’m gonna give it a go. Might be really satisfying
Looks really fun from a gameplay standpoint and Clash of Heroes was great, but I personally find the art style kinda off-putting.
Fantastic game from when I had my Apple Arcade trial. Purchased this on switch last night and I am excited to play.
