After getting the formal console announcement last year, publisher QUByte Interactive and developer Cadabra Games have now revealed that Adore will be battling its way onto Switch from 3rd August.
The game launched to early access on Steam back in 2020 and has since racked up a good number very positive reviews. In Adore, you play as Lukha, a young boy who is able to summon and control creatures to fight alongside him in battle. The action takes place on an isometric field, with you sending out creatures at your will to defeat wild foes and keep Lukha safe.
Adore has been in development ever since it was released on early access three years ago, and we can see this one being a good fit for the Switch (you can never have too many creature catchers/battlers, right?). For a little more information about the game itself and a look at some screenshots, check out the following from the publishers:
Game Features:
Synergy System: Your creatures work better together. You can create synergies between them. Each synergy a creature possesses will activate an extra ability or modify your creature.
Traits: Embark on expeditions to find statues of Draknar, the God of creatures, so that your creatures acquire traits that make them unique.
Special Abilities: Each creature also possesses a special ability that can be used when its energy bar is full. You have to decide when the best time is to use the special ability most effectively.
Runes and Artifacts: Equip and upgrade special runes and artifacts that best complement the qualities of your creature team.
Cooking: Gather ingredients during your adventures and create unique dishes to aid you and your creatures on your journey.
Adore is now available to pre-order from the Switch eShop for £13.49 (which includes a nice 25% pre-release discount). This sale will only be available until the game releases early next month, so if it looks up your street and you want to save some pennies then you better get in quickly.

Weird name for a game about monsters beating the crap out of each other, but other than that it looks pretty good!
The name, the gameplay and the music do not seem to match up?
Still, a more interesting take on the genre and the monsters look alright.
That is a very odd name for a game about monster battling.
Still might be interesting.
Not into monster battlers myself, but both my (adult-aged) sons love them, so I may gift this to each of them to play in their spare time. Misread the developer name at first and thought it said Capybara. Would have bought regardless of my interest in the genre if it were from them.
Looks okay but I'm waiting for Dragon Quest Monsters.
Think 2 of my daughters would enjoy this, but if they would have added the ability to play as a girl it would have been a sure purchase. I assume for a game like this, gender isn't key to the story, just a cosmetic thing they could even patch in.
@RagManX Can’t blame you there - Capybara has made some great games of various types.
Grindstone is outstanding, of course. But these days I hardly hear about Super Time Force Ultra, which I think is also one of their best. Especially for people who enjoy games like Gunstar Heroes.
I wish every game didn't feel the need to add a 'cooking' mechanic these days.
Noo it's a top-down perspective. My brain just turns off when I look at an average game from that high up.
@sfb @RagManX Capybara did develop the recently released (as of yesterday) might and magic clash of heroes.
@NotoriousWhiz just started on it. Excellent game.
@NotoriousWhiz Yes, that’s another excellent game from Capybara. I very much enjoyed it on the DS, back in the day. Might get the new version as well.
Day one for sure, looks neat!
