This upcoming dungeon crawler f🌳eels just like Hades, just a heck of a lot cuter and with magical plant creature🌳s.

Grimoire Groves is a cozy roguelite dungeon crawler that sees players take on the role of a young witch as they explore a mysterious forest and grow adorable plant creatures. Unlike plenty of dungeon crawlers, Grimoire Groves has stunning bright visuals and is far less punishing, making it feel much more inviting and a good game to get started with if you're ♛a fan of the genre. 

In Grimoire Groves, players will find seeds to grow new plants, befriend a cast of unique characters, craft and ꩵcollect magical items, learn new spell𝔉s, decorate their homes, and unravel the mystery of Grimoire Groves. The game is being developed by Switzerland-based developer Stardust and takes inspiration from several game genres, including both roguelikes and cozy games.

Speaking of inspirations, Stardust lists games like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Animal Crossing: New Horizons, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley, Hades, Moonlighter, and more as its game inspiration, but also cartoons like Adventure Time, She-Ra, and The Owl House too - which we can definitely see in the game's art direction. I'm🦹 especially a fan of the various plant guys that follow you🙈 around and can be seen multiple times in the trailer. 

Luckily for Stardust, it seems there's plenty of other people out there looking for a cozy dungeon crawler as the game's has already raised more than double its target, managing to not only unlock various st🐠retch targets but also the Nintendo Switch port of the game too - with seven days still left to go on the project.  

We don't have a release date for Grimoire Groves just yet but we do sugg🐽est wishlisting the game on and following the developer on to stay up to date with the project.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of U🥃s, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also knoℱwn to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
