Opus Magnum: Complete Edition Brings Critically Acclaimed Puzzle Crafting to Nintendo Switch
The highly regarded alchemy puzzle title Opus Magnum from developer Zachtronics has officially made its debut on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
Originally launched on Steam in 2017, Opus Magnum has steadily built a reputation as a standout puzzle experience, boasting over 3,000 ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ user reviews.
Industry voices such as IGN’s Tom Marks praised it as “one of the best puzzle games” in recent memory, while PC Gamer dubbed it “one of the very best puzzle games of the year, if not the decade.” Now available as the Opus Magnum: Complete Edition, this release not only brings the renowned title to the Nintendo Switch for the first time, but also bundles in the De Re Metallica expansion.
Players can now access a comprehensive package that includes the base game along with an additional 17 prequel puzzles and three unique glyphs, adding substantial value for both newcomers and returning fans. Developed by Zachtronics—creators of other iconoclastic titles like SpaceChem—Opus Magnum challenges players to design and build versatile alchemical machines using a rich suite of components.
Leveraging programmable arms, customizable tracks, and specialized devices such as Van Berlo’s wheel and the Glyph of Animismus, players must solve open-ended puzzles with solutions measured for efficiency and elegance.
The game’s structure encourages players to not only complete challenges but to optimize their machines for speed, simplicity, and minimal size, adding remarkable depth and replayability. The Switch version also features the full narrative context fans expect from Zachtronics, immersing players in a world of intrigue among the city’s ancient Houses, where alchemists wield power that blurs the line between science and magic.
An included solitaire minigame, Sigmar’s Garden, offers a relaxing break with an original alchemy-based twist—every session winnable, though some harder than others. Opus Magnum: Complete Edition is now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop for £22.50 / $29.99.
To mark its launch, a 20% introductory discount has been applied, reducing the price to £18.00 / $23.99 until March 19.
The bundle offers both a robust main campaign and the De Re Metallica prequel, delivering more puzzles and gameplay options than ever before on a Nintendo platform. With its flexible gameplay mechanics, acclaimed design pedigree, and expanded content, Opus Magnum: Complete Edition positions itself as a must-try for puzzle enthusiasts on the Nintendo Switch.
Puzzle fans eager to elevate their skills—or newcomers curious about Zachtronics’ approach—can now experience alchemical engineering in the palm of their hand via the Switch’s versatile hardware.
