Nanokin is a charming turn based RPG that will tug the heart strings.
Some of our favorite titles here at MPG are adventure RPG’s, like Breathe of the Wild and My Time at Portia. Nothing quite compares to the feeling we get when we embody a hero to partake on grand adventures and discover new lands. Well, it appears that another great adventure is currently being created by the team at Studio Anjin. Explore a wonderfully vibrant and expansive world and enjoy awesome turn based combat in Nanokin.
About Nanokin.
The developers have described the gameplay as being akin to the Xenoblade and Wild Arms series with a touch of Banjo Kazooie and A Hat in Time. The land in which the game takes place is called Nanoverse. The land is full of cool and kooky creatures called Nanokin. These eponymous beings are capture-able and customizable. From what the developers have been willing to release so far, it seems that the customization of the creatures will feature nearly endless combinations.
The developers put a heavy focus on uniting the beautifully styled graphics with the story-line, to give the player an emotional experience that they will remember. As described by the developers themselves, this will be an experience of childhood wonderment and nostalgia. We certainly can’t wait to find out more about Nanokin!

Fable 4 details were leaked by a Reddit user, and include some features we are super excited about!
Immersing ourselves deep in the story of an open-world role playing game is one of the best parts about being a gamer. Become whoever you want and shape the world around you to your liking. All of your deeds reflecting on the community, changing your atmosphere in cool and sometimes surprising ways. The Fable series has been at the top of the RPG list since the release of its original title on September 14th, 2004. With the leak of possible details surrounding the imminent reveal at E3, it appears that will be living the Fable dream once again with Fable 4.
The rundown…
A “Fable 4” has apparently been in the works for some time now, and will make an appearance very soon. The supposed details that were given mentioned that the game will take place in neither Albion nor Aurora. Instead, these lands have been destroyed by an asteroid. The game will also be a completely open world, instead of the old individually rendered zones like the original title.
Thanks to some time-travel shenanigans, there will no longer be guns available, just like in the first game. However, there will finally be an online option, so we can explore this brave new world together. Hopefully we will get to travel all the way back to the days of being the chicken chaser, and spend a few hours exploring all the different places and things to kick chickens at. It was also rumored that Fable 4 will feature town building, just one more added bonus that we are a bit overly excited about!
The exact reddit post…
- First/Third Person
- In Depth character creator
- Completely Open
- No guns
- Can ignore main quest and never become a hero
- Players can build towns, ties into main quest heavily if you get the bad ending and fail
- Multiplayer
- Unreal Engine
Albion and Aurora are gone. “Lands reduced to fables.” The Spire was rebuilt and used by a mad king to wish that an asteroid would strike the planet. He also wished it would happen again in the far future. Eons later and everything is new (medieval themed, new continents) and you have to stop the destruction of the planet again. Theresa and a Heroes Guild are preserved on another planet via a demon door. Time Travel heavily involved in play. Jack of Blades returns. “
We will have more details as they are released with our coverage of this years E3 conference. For more information about the E3 conference, check out the official website by clicking here. For more open world RPG goodness, it’s always fun to check out My Time at Portia on myPotatoGames.

Automachef will be releasing for PC and Nintendo Switch in Q3 2019. This game is developed by Hermes Interactive and published by Team17 (My Time at Portia and Overcooked). Prepare yourself to become a masterful kitchen manager and wishlist it on Steam!
Robert Person is the name of the robot…we mean human…that will guide you and offer you help throughout the levels. You can choose from dozens of different machines to build your automatic kitchen in exactly the way you want. For example, conveyor belts, robotic arms, splitters, computers, gates and much more! Automachef features computers you can program in assembly code, or using a simple visual editor, to make other machines, such as robotic arms or ingredients dispensers.
Our very trusty “human” friend Robert Person The game features 30 campaign levels, 10 bonus levels, three exciting game modes, dozens of different recipes to prepare (i.e. cheeseburgers, salads, hot dogs), special events, disasters, and more! The three modes in Automachef are: the Campaign Mode, building a business in Contracts Mode and practicing your builds or playing freely in Test Site Mode. Furthermore, if you have created the perfect production line, you can save your plans as blueprints to use in future kitchens!
Filling out orders with your production line Key Features
- Plan. Position. Program: Design and build automated restaurants, then program them to run like well-oiled machines! Do you have a can-do attitude and the know-how to conquer the world of automated restaurants?
- Challenging Puzzles: Fine tune your mind as you tackle intricate spatial, resource management and scenario puzzles! Not enough hot dogs? You’ll sort it! Kitchens on fire? No problem for a smart human like you!
- Multiple Brain-Tickling Modes: Take on the campaign levels, traverse your way through the business world in contracts mode, or just go nuts and bolts in the sandbox test mode and play until you get your fill.
- Endless Charm and Quirky Humor: All delivered in an abundance by our helplessly misguided (robot) human protagonist – Robert Person. Who is definitely a human. Don’t ask questions.
- Mod Support (Steam): Think you could bring some more pizzazz to the table? GREAT! Step on up to the plate and create your own ingredients, recipes and scenario levels via Steam Workshop!

Our Earth Day list of beautiful games with enamoring environments.
myPotatoGames finds a certain importance in respecting the holidays, especially one that celebrates the amazing planet on which we currently live. Who knows what our lives might be like where it not for the beautiful rock that we have been given. Many game creators in the past and present have tried to capture that beauty, and display it in ways that amaze and enthrall us. We decided that a great way to celebrate this momentous day is to share a list of our favorite examples of when the outdoors meets the indoors. Happy Earth Day!
Forza Horizon 4 Forza Horizon 4
When it comes to enjoying the environment, there’s nothing like taking a ride down your favorite road! Letting nature pass you by as you take it all in. With the awe-striking graphics, Forza Horizon 4 explores a varied terrain in an exhilarating way. There are many vehicles to choose from, sorted in to categories based on their most easily-handled terrain. From off-roading through some mucky woods to zooming along a snowy mountain side, Forza Horizon 4 has much to offer for any nature enthusiast!
My Time At Portia My Time at Portia
While not quite as graphically advanced as FH4, many have touted My Time at Portia for the streamlined yet whimsical quality of the environment. With cutesy cows and shreddable shrubs dotting the path, My Time at Portia brings forth a colorful rendition of our world that is simultaneously relaxing and invigorating. There is much to see in the world Portia, and the beautiful art style makes every moment just as scintillating as the last!
Unravel 2 Unravel and Unravel 2
Both Unravel and Unravel 2 contain an art style that creates a whole new view of our world, and is displayed vibrantly throughout the game. You see the world from the eyes of Yarny, a little yarn creature only the size of an apple, and must use your yarn abilities to solve puzzles. You will travel to many gorgeous locales, all expressed from the perspective of something only a few inches tall. The original title, Unravel, was hailed for having “stunning scenery”, and was even able to throw in a protagonist that is just a lovely as the stages it roams!
Steep Steep
Another “extremely” fun way to explore the world in a digital fashion is through the extreme sports genre. There have been many sweet titles in this category, but Steep took it to the next level with not only its graphics, but also some totally tubular gameplay! Explore an open world tailored to the hardcore sports enthusiast, with lots of greenery to dodge and plenty of powder just ripe for the shredding. Matthew Kato of Game Informer mentioned that steep had “one of the most diverse and visually interesting open worlds” in gaming!
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Another visually-striking open world title that we can’t get enough of is the epic RPG, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! The world comes to life in this diverse installment in the classic series. With monsters that take their form from Gaia itself, there is much to see and do in the land of Hyrule! Like never before, Breath of the Wild breathes vibrant life into the Zelda games, with an insanely expansive geography, similar to our own, but unique where it matters!
