Publisher Super Rare Games and developer Sørb have today released the Pokémon-style roguelike Evolings on the Switch eShop to provide some classic creature-catching action.

This one will see you exploring procedurally generated maps, hunting out a collection of adorable pixel art creatures to add to your team and building the ultimate battling squad. There's a fair amount of 'mon inspiration on display here, from the challenge to complete the 'Evopedia' to the ability to evolve your team by battling well with them — hey, if it ain't broke, don't Steelix it.
