Insectile

Insectile puts a proper twist on the creature collector formula. Instead of just picking moves from a list, you’re piecing together tiles into bug shapes to form your attacks, so there’s a genuine puzzle element to every fight alongside the strategy of building the right team.

It’s not just about getting the shapes right either. Each Insectile brings its own quirky effect to the table, so you’ll want to think about how they combo together, whether that’s busting shields, countering attacks, or sweeping damage across a whole row. There’s over 50 of the little critters to collect and mess about with.

You’ll be helping Loma, the world’s top Insectile researcher, who’s got herself stuck in a strange new form thanks to one of the bugs going a bit haywire. Along the way you’ll explore a sprawling garden world, take on bosses, sort out squabbles between the Insectiles and the local mushroom folk, and bump into a rival character who’s far too pleased with himself. Oh, and you can wear your favourite bugs on your head, which is exactly as fun as it sounds.
