As you can see, though, this isn&#8217;t your usual game of Minesweeper; instead, you&#8217;ll be moving an alien-cloned Aristotle around the grid (we&#8217;re not sure why, either), planting flags and using special tiles to work your way around each level.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve managed to beat all of the game&#8217;s levels, you can then go on to create your very own with a console-exclusive Custom Level mode. You can see it in action in the trailer above; with a mixture of procedurally-generated wizardry and your customised settings options, you can create pretty much any type of level you like.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"MSG 16\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ef626aa135889\/msg-16.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ef626aa135889\/msg-16.445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" alt=\"MSG 16\" \/><\/a><a title=\"MSG 13\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/a15dfe1a50ac8\/msg-13.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/a15dfe1a50ac8\/msg-13.445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" alt=\"MSG 13\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"MSG 6\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f8a18cc1cf6b6\/msg-6.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f8a18cc1cf6b6\/msg-6.445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" alt=\"MSG 6\" \/><\/a><a title=\"MSG 5\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f6d42a36b0350\/msg-5.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f6d42a36b0350\/msg-5.445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" alt=\"MSG 5\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>As noted above, the game launches today on Nintendo Switch.
