Flowstone Saga Released on Switch

Impact Gameworks has released its 16-bit RPG Flowstone Saga on Nintendo Switch. The game — which released for PC, Mac, and Linux in 2024 — is available on the console for $19.99.

Flowstone Saga is set in Ocean’s End, a collection of backwater islands that becomes the site of a showdown between the navy of the Byzankar Republic and the pirate king Borras Crimm. The game stars Mirai, a young woman who arrived at Ocean’s End’s biggest town of New Riverstone a year before the events of the game and made it her home. It features puzzle-based combat where players must arrange falling blocks to deal damage to enemies or perform various skills, and which lets players opt for turn-based or real-time gameplay.
