Fans of cozy gaming adventures have a new treat to look forward to, as Kabuto Park has officially launched on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows Store. Developed by Doot (known for Minami Lane and Milki Delivery) alongside Seaven Studio, this charming bug-collecting game promises to deliver a nostalgic summer vibe wrapped in a bite-sized gaming experience.
Players take on the role of Hana, a young girl who spends her summer vacation catching, fighting, and healing various insects. The game centers around preparing for the Summer Beetle Battles championship, where players must strategically choose their insect teams to compete against other kids. What sets Kabuto Park apart is its focus on being a “short creature collector”, designed to be completed in just 2-4 hours.
Nintendo Switch players benefit from an exclusive feature that allows them to wave their Joy-Con controllers like real bug nets, thanks to the console’s gyroscope functionality. The game features relaxing catching mini-games, simple deck-building mechanics for battles, and a terrarium where players can care for their collected insects. The developers have focused on the cozy atmosphere, promising summer nostalgia, cute artwork, and pleasant music throughout the game.
Kabuto Park is available for £4.99, while Xbox Game Pass subscribers can download it at no extra cost from today. Nintendo Switch players can also take advantage of pre-orders, and a bundle option with Minami Lane is available for £7.49. More information about the game can be found on the official Steam, Xbox and Nintendo Switch store pages.
