Every country has its own folktales with various lessons.
They are a bit philosophical when you get right down to it, but they are put together in a way that is easy for even children to understand, making them a classic picture book for reading aloud to children.
Among the many Japanese folktales, one of the most famous is " Momotaro," as you all know.
Momotaro, born from a peach, conquers the evil ogres of Onigashima. You have probably read or heard this story at least once.
Since it is a classic, many new interpretations of Momotaro have been created, and there are countless works that incorporate characters and settings based on Momotaro.
Ponos Corporation, well-known for "The Battle Cats," has launched "Momotaro Disqualified!
Supporting Momotaro in the shadows!
Momotaro Disqualified" is a tower defense game based on the famous old tale of Momotaro, but it is a little different from the typical Momotaro story.
First of all, please take a look at the two PVs that show off the world view and the fascinating game system at a glance!
The main character is not Momotaro
Momotaro is not the one who fights" version
Yes, Momotaro is not the main character in "Momotaro Disqualified," and he is not the one who exterminates Oni!
Momotaro was born out of a peach when he was old, and his grandfather and grandmother were spoiled by the fact that he was born out of a peach. I can understand how they felt.
One day, Momotaro says he is going to start living alone.
He says he wants to work part-time and exterminate mites, which is avery sweet idea.
In other words, the protagonists of this game are Grandpa andGrandma!
Momotaro, who has just started living alone, cannot be left to exterminate the mites alone. Grandpa goes to the mountains to mow the lawn...or rather, to do farm work to support the extermination of the mites.
The hungry Oni will come to ravage the village fields, so you can create and nurture a vegetable character called "Vegimaru " with a simple tap operation and feed it to the Oni!
When the Oni eat the Vegimaru, they are satisfied and ascend to heaven, where they can be exterminated.
Let's raise various Vegemaru to become the best farmer!
On the other hand, Granny doesn't go to the river to wash clothes...she supports Momotaro by watching over him remotely.
Momotaro, who tends to be a recluse, has a tofu mentality and soon reaches the limit of his activities. He's a heck of a guy.
When this happens, you can send him items using materials obtained in battles, and he may go on a trip for a certain amount of time to kill Oni or work part-time, and bring back rewards.
Support Momotaro so that he does not remain a recluse!
Vegemaru," which Grandpa raises, can be collected from " Tane Gacha" (seed gacha ) as well as from regular stages.
Vegimaru are hybrid beings that look like a combination of animals and plants, and have a variety of appearances, attack methods, and characteristics.
If you don't organize them well, you won't be able to exterminate the Oni that come to ravage your fields, so be sure to get lots of Vegimaru so you can organize them to suit the situation!
Of course, new Vegimaru will appear one after another in the future, so stay tuned!
