On September 28, the developer BLOBFISH has launched early access to the Rogue Light Action Game Potato on September. This work was very popular in user reviews immediately after the distribution started, and the number of STEAM simultaneous connection players rose to the right. It seems that more than 10,000 people play at the peak.

POTATO is a rogue light arena shutter from a viewpoint. What the player operates is a potato human with a design with an elliptical face with limbs. This potato human can handle six kinds of weapons at once. Players aim to survive while hitting the enemy approaching from the surroundings with a variety of weapons.

The game play of this work includes elements similar to the hit work Vampire Survivors and the base Magic Survival. These are elements such as attacks automatically, defeat enemies in the flock to gain power up, inflate their power, and basically start over when defeated. On the other hand, unlike the work mentioned above, this work is a form that repeats the wave of 20 seconds to 90 seconds per round. In addition, POTATO is also characterized by the fact that there is no character enhancement element that can be used across laps.

In this work, you can unlock a variety of characters and items by clearing specific conditions. As for the character characteristics, in addition to the basic contents such as characters that specialize in shooting and characters with high physical strength and defense anyway, play that does not defeat enemies as much as possible In the first place, weapons cannot be equipped, so you can attack. There are special characters such as counterattack only when you receive it, and supports a wide range of character buildings. Players can also increase and decrease enemy physical strength, attack power and speed with game options. It can also be set for high-speed and approaching enemies and slow and hard enemies. It can be said that it is a somewhat close to a sandbox that enjoys various character buildings and enemy settings.

This work won a Steam user review that approaches 1000 cases in less than a week since the release on September 28.

And the number of STEAM simultaneous connection players has also risen to the right since the release.

This work works by Blobfish, a French developer. It is a personal studio by developer THOMAS GERRARD. The studio has released works such as Lost Potato and Space Gladiators in the past. Although the format is different from the viewpoint/horizontal scrolling, each has been highly evaluated in Steam user reviews as a rogue light action. The fact that POTATO has been well received by users is probably due to the ability to make such a rogue light work.

In the current version, 30 characters, 150 kinds of items, and more than 40 types of weapons are implemented. And you can enjoy up to 20 waves with five types of difficulty.
