Make way world, for the latest Pokémon puzzler has been announced and is coming soon to a Switch or smartphone near you. Pokémon Café Mix is a free-to-start experience where players must snag, swirl, and link matching Pokémon icons together to form a chain. Take a look at the gameplay below:
The game revolves around the nominal Pokémon Café where various Pokémon come in wanting drinks. The puzzle gameplay is where these drinks are mixed (see what they did there?) and then served. There’s no release date for Pokémon Café Mix yet, but it can be preloaded now on Nintendo Switch and is also available for preorder and preregistration on iOS and Android, respectively. Here’s a little more about the game from The Pokémon Company:
Pokémon Café Mix is a unique puzzle game where players can link Pokémon icons together by swirling them around. To link icons, players will need to grab a Pokémon icon and drag it next to another icon of the same Pokémon species. Icons will be cleared after they are linked together.
The player will be the owner of a café that Pokémon visit, where they will work alongside Pokémon to prepare drinks and dishes for Pokémon customers by completing puzzles. Pokémon on the café’s staff have special Café Skills that can be used to help complete puzzles. Once a puzzle is completed, the player can serve an order to a customer. The player can increase their friendship levels with Pokémon by serving them delicious drinks and dishes. As more puzzles are completed, the café can be upgraded by getting new tools or having new areas added. New Pokémon may come visit, lured in by the different upgrades.
Given it’s a free-to-start game, one can likely conclude that in-game/app purchases of some kind will be available, but what they are is a mystery right now. Will you be trying this one out? Tell us your thoughts on Pokémon Café Mix below and on social media!
