Peppermint, the game\u2019s protagonist, has the ability to summon otherworldly beings, and people like her are referred to as Party Makers. She finds a job at the Party Maker\u2019s Union and decides to travel across the continent to solve problems that plague Crimson Waffle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peppermint isn\u2019t strong enough to fight foes on her own, so she opens the interdimensional door to seek help and team up with the inhabitants of the other dimension. There are around 100 characters available, and you can form a party of up to four (three excluding Peppermint herself). You can also perform powerful special abilities depending on the combination of characters. Tinker around with various combinations to come up with a party composition that suits your playstyle.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"591\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-002.jpg 791w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-002-600x448.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-002-380x284.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-002-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-002-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-002-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-002-696x520.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-002-562x420.jpg 562w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-002-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-002-265x198.jpg 265w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The game is split into three parts: story, exploration, and recruitment. The story part tells the story of Peppermint and her journey, and the exploration part lets you travel around the world of Crimson Waffle, solving people\u2019s problems and meeting potential recruits along the way. \u201cExplorations can differ depending on which day of the week you&#8217;re in,\u201d according to the developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recruitment phase lets you acquire new members and change the composition of your party. To recruit new members, you first have to gather special items that can be obtained as rewards for progressing the story or the exploration parts. The same items can also be purchased using in-game currency that you can gain through gameplay.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1185\" height=\"857\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1185px) 100vw, 1185px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-003.jpg 1185w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-003-600x434.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-003-380x275.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-003-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-003-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-003-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-003-696x503.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-003-1068x772.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-003-581x420.jpg 581w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/20220324-196590-003-324x235.jpg 324w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Party Rush!!<\/em> can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1693970\/PARTY_RUSH\/\">h<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1693970\/PARTY_RUSH\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1693970\/PARTY_RUSH\/\">re<\/a> on Steam.<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">\u00a9Sechan \/ \u00a9CREST Inc.
