Grindstone Comes to PC This Week with New Content!

I haven’t gotten to play Grindstone yet, since it released a few months back on Nintendo Switch. I’ve heard good things though, and it is on my to-play list. However, PC players will now get a chance to enjoy Grindstone and Switch/Apple Arcade players will get new content via the “Fortune Grind” update.

The PC release is coming on May 20^th, alongside the new update that is available now. Before we get into the update too heavily though, let’s discuss what Grindstone actually is. Here is what the press release says about the game itself.

“Grindstone is a game of sword-slashing puzzle battles from the award-winning studio behind BELOW, Sword & Sworcery EP, Super Time Force Ultra, Critter Crunch, and Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes! Grindstone first released on Apple Arcade in September 2019 to widespread acclaim, earning many awards and nominations. Grindstone has since come out on Nintendo Switch, where it has also garnered much acclaim and was one of the best-reviewed Switch games of 2020.

Grindstone Mountain is overrun with vicious Creeps! Slay your way up to its treacherous peak where fortune, glory (and death) awaits!

It’ll take sharp puzzle skills and an even sharper blade to slice your way through the swarms of bloodthirsty Creeps dwelling within Grindstone’s dungeons. Battle bosses, loot resources, discover long-lost blueprints for powerful gear, all while eviscerating the innards from your deadly foes! Over 250 levels of intense puzzle-battling madness!”

In regards to the PC release and the new Fortune Grind update, the press release has this to say: “Grindstone will include every previous update when it releases on the Epic Games Store on the 20th of May. Grindstone can also be your new PC “productivity companion,” thanks to the super innovative and groundbreaking windowed mode. Just don’t look TOO distracted on your next zoom call.

The Fortune Grind update introduces a new twist on Grindstone’s Daily Grind, tasking players to spin a wheel to try their luck at some helpful loot on their daily run. Be careful though, as you also run the risk of introducing new hazards and angry Jerks that will be sure to ruin Jorj’s day. The Fortune Grind update also unveils a new cave containing 10 additional perilous levels, the new Gold Health Potion item, and new entries to Hëlga’s Slöp Höuse recipe book.”

As previously mentioned, the Fortune Grind update is now available on the Switch and Apple Arcade versions of Grindstone. The PC release will also come standard with the Fortune Grind update, so players will not have to wait for the new content. There’s no better time to get into Grindstone than right now, so check it out on the Epic Store or the e-shop when you have time!
