Pepper Grinder centres on a young adventurer and her unusual tool. Developed by indie studio Ahr Ech, the game first launched in March 2024 for Windows and Nintendo Switch.
The story follows Pepper, a seafaring prospector who survives a shipwreck only to discover her treasure has been stolen by creatures known as the Narlings. Her primary means of recovery is Grinder, a super-powered drilling device that functions as both a weapon and a traversal tool.
Across side-scrolling stages, you use Grinder to carve through terrain and even water, revealing hidden paths and shortcuts while dispatching enemies. The drilling system doubles as a movement mechanic, allowing Pepper to propel herself into the air and chain together aerial manoeuvres. Check out Pepper Grinder on the Google Play Store.
On the other hand, Beyblade X: Xone is a game adaptation of the Beyblade X anime. Developed by GrooveBoxJapan, the title debuted worldwide in November 2024 for Nintendo Switch and Windows.
Beyblade X: Xone features both a single-player story mode and online multiplayer, with options for online and local battles. The game’s narrative is separate from the anime’s storyline, presenting an original plot and new characters.
You choose either a male or female protagonist who inherits the Beyblade known as Shinobi Knife from their father. After that, they encounter the members and the founder of Team Persona. Combat takes place in stadiums equipped with the X-celerator Rail, a defining feature of Beyblade X with high-speed clashes.
You can pre-register for Beyblade X: Xone on the Google Play Store.
