About This Game

Longbows & Potatoes is a real-time strategy game where every single unit is a potato. Gather, build, grow your little spud empire from Sprout to Fry, and lead your army to glorious victory... or to a fine purée.

Climb the ranked ladder in 1v1 to 4v4, throw 16-player parties with friends, or survive a potato Battle Royale where the smoke closes in and only one spud gets the crown.

Very serious strategy

Under the peel, this is a proper RTS. We take it very seriously. The potatoes do too.

• Sprout, Tuber, Mash, Fry: four stages of potato life, each with new buildings, new troops and new ways to ruin your neighbour's afternoon.

• Wood, stone, gold and tiny potatoes: yes, the potatoes eat potatoes. We don't talk about it.

• Rock, paper, potato: Pickle Pikes skewer horses, Riders run down archers and siege, Mashers mash Riders, Bash Browns hold the shield wall. Bring the wrong potato and it's purée.

• Portable towers: every potato inside a tower adds an arrow. Don't like where it stands? Five Spuds pick it up and carry it somewhere else. Ten can carry your whole Potato Center.

• Kitchen-grade siege: the Spudapult (a giant spoon), the Forkipion (a giant fork, kebab night), the Rolling Ram, the Big Masher, and the Step Stool for potatoes who need a little help over the wall.

Meet the family

• Grandpa Root-Force: red beret, big grey mustache, a chest full of medals, strong opinions. Potatoes near him hit harder. He climbs enemy towers on a rope, jumps off walls with a triple flip, and if you leave him alone for a bit, he naps.

• Grandma Casserole: round glasses, grey bun, a cane for emphasis. She slowly mends your wounded potatoes, and blows kisses at enemy potatoes until they switch sides.

• The Truffle Pig: can't fight, won't try. Sniffs out burrowed ambushes, hidden traps and secret hideouts. Protect yours. Hunt theirs.

• The Couch Potato: an enormous potato holding the TV remote. Slow to get up, hits like a falling sofa.

• The Horseradish: a potato on a horse, with a bow. Not a radish. Nobody had the heart to tell it.

• The Rotten Potato: left in the cellar far too long. Walks up to the enemy, bursts, and leaves a stinking green cloud.

• The Fry Cook: a frying basket and no remorse. Everything it hits catches fire, and the hot oil splashes onto the neighbours.

Dirty potato tricks

• Burrow: your potatoes dig in, vanish from enemy eyes, and pop out for a surprise double hit.

• Tuber Tunnels: dig a hidden pair of holes and sneak your potatoes behind enemy lines.

• Spike traps: invisible to the enemy. Then very visible, for about one second.

• Onions: lob one into the enemy line and their archers can't see straight through the tears.

• Timber! siege splashes knock down the trees they land on. Make your own road.

Ways to play

• Ranked: 1v1 to 4v4 matchmaking with Elo, solo or with your own group.

• Parties: up to 16 players and 8 teams, shared team resources, free-for-all, anything goes.

• Battle Royale: everyone against everyone, the smoke closes in, last potato standing wears the crown.

• Computer players: Easy, Normal or Hard bots fill any seat, so you can practice your mashing.

• Replays: rewind any match and watch your finest purée again.

Grab a fork. The potatoes are waiting. Very seriously.
