Logiart Grimoire

“Logiart Grimoire is a puzzle game that combines ‘word puzzles’ and ‘number puzzles’ creating a different kind of puzzle game from what you’re used to,” according to Jupiter, which is best known for developing the long-running Picross series for Nintendo.

“For Jupiter, early access on Steam is a new endeavor. While it’s still under development, we value your feedback and hope to nurture the game together with you.

“Without everyone’s cooperation, this game cannot be completed! Please, give it a try and share your valuable opinions.”

I am big fan of Jupiter, because of how polished there games are, even though I have only played Picross S games, and nothing else. Excited for them to try something else. Though this also looks like Picross puzzles, just in different package.

    It seems to work like this, judging from the Steam page:

    1. Solving a Picross puzzle gives you an element. Like, if the image for the puzzle is dirt, you get dirt.
    2. In order to unlock new puzzles, you need to fuse elements together. Locked puzzles will have a riddle– Use the riddle to figure out which elements you need to fuse to unlock the puzzle. For example, fusing dirt, water, and sunlight unlocks the plant nonogram. Solve that nonogram to unlock the plant element.
    3. As you solve puzzles, Emil (the wizard dude) gets stronger, allowing you to “fuse more puzzles.” Not too sure what that means, but I assume that you need to level Emil up before you’re allowed to fuse the harder puzzles.

    I could be wrong, but this is the impression I get. Looks like an interesting gameplay loop. It has 280 puzzles, so it’ll keep you busy for a while.

      Ahh that makes sense. Sounds like a fun way to progress through the game!

      I’m quite happy to see picross games from Jupiter on Steam (though I guess they can’t call them Picross, if that’s a Nintendo IP)
