'Grime' Comes To Nintendo Switch Later This Month, Coincides With Definitive Edition And Final DLC On All Platforms

by Rainier on Jan. 4, 2024 @ 9:32 a.m. PST

Grime is a fast and unforgiving action/adventure RPG in which you crush your foes with living weapons that mutate form and function, and then consume their remains to strengthen your vessel as you break apart a world of anatomical horror and intrigue.

Destroy... Absorb... Grow...

An unusual material collapses in on itself, the world shudders and contracts, and suddenly you are squeezed into existence.

What awaits you is a world unknown, alien in its own familiarity, and you must survive what terrors you face. Explore your surreal surroundings, absorb the many enemies you encounter, and use their own traits against them as you let yourself become far more than you once were.

Grime lets you play to your preference, upgrading only those traits you feel most suited to your unique style. You’ll find there is more than one way to break open an enemy as you move through a variety of evocative environments, meet their inhabitants, and discover the source of their madness.

Clover Bite and Akupara Games are proud to announce that their critically-acclaimed soulslike metroidvania, GRIME, will be making its long-awaited debut for the Nintendo Switch on January 25th.

Alongside the Switch release, Clover Bite will be releasing Grime’s third and final DLC, Parting Shade, on all available platforms.

Players will conjure all of their might as they face their biggest challenges yet with a new explorable area in Grime, forcing even the most veteran of metroidvania players to lock-in and fight toe-to-toe with adversity, wrapping up the long hard fought trilogy that is Grime Definitive Edition.

Creative Director, Yarden Weissbrot, saw the opportunity, the hunger, the drive for more GRIME and wanted to deliver on that possibility as his deep knowledge of the metroidvania playerscape saw that something was missing. This allowed developer Clover Bite the ability to fill that hole and create GRIME Definitive Edition, the ultimate way to explore GRIME including the base game and three free DLCs: Colors of RotTinge of Terror, and the newly introduced, Parting Shade.
