In terms of our favourite video game names ever, this has got to take the cake (or the...carrot?). Publisher PLAYISM and developer Pon Pon Games have reunited six years after their first collaboration, A Healer Only Lives Twice, to create Potato Flowers in Full Bloom, a first-person dungeon crawler presented in full 3D.

With a quirky aesthetic and a story that focuses on the effects of soil contamination, Potato Flowers in Full Bloom is looking to charm its way onto your Switch on 10th March, priced at $17.99. Better still, the game will be 10% off for the first week of its release, and that includes if you pre-order the game. If you're on the fence, you can test out your roasting skills by downloading a free demo on the eShop now.

Here's what to expect from the game's narrative, which is an interesting thread for a game all about exploring hidden underground ruins:

In a world where soil contamination is a continuous threat for human society, it is said that there are special seeds left behind in an underground labyrinth by an alchemist. These seeds can grow without being affected by the effects of contamination.

Setting up base in the remains of a nearby town, you and the research team are led by your leader as you aim for the depths of the maze.

Essentially, you're trying to save the world by finding more resources, rather than simply mashing up monsters.

Of course, the core of any dungeon crawler is its gameplay, and PLAYISM has a lot to say about that:

A First-Person Dungeon Explorer
Gradually expand your range of actions as you delve deeper into the dungeons. The map is procedurally-generated as you progress.

Solve tricks and puzzles to obtain treasures, but beware of the monsters and bosses lurking around every corner!

As the labyrinths have been constructed and renovated by human society across various eras, you might come across some interesting items from the past.

Read your enemy's next move and plan your counter
You can predict the enemy's next move by reading the displayed icons and your ability to strategically choose your actions accordingly will determine your chances of victory in battle. Actions such as attacking, guarding, and using skills eat up points. Be careful not to run out of points, as you will be reduced to the "Rest" command, making you a sitting duck until your points recover.

Build and train your party however you like!
Form your desired research team at base camp. Available classes include knights, rangers, and shamans. The choice is yours and yours alone...You can even modify the appearance of each character to suit your liking.

Each class has a unique skill tree, it is up to you how you want to train your party. You can bring up to three other members with you on every adventure into the dungeon, so pick wisely...
