Atomicrops – Played

Your grandfather has left you, left a short time before his death, his beloved Farm. Unfortunately, it is already vaporized shortly thereafter, the whole environment of a nuclear Explosion. In the Action-rogue Lite-Farming Simulator Atomicrops you are the last of the food producers in the area and must, as such, your fields, take care of, and at the same time, prior to invading mutants retain.

Farm, Marry, Kill

The new title from the Swedish Indie Game Studios, Raw Fury, which only 3 people will be developed, working from the pure Farm point of view, in principle, like Stardew Valley: you plant your seed, fertilizes and waters the growing plants until you harvest, and then the money it can make. By the way, you build-up your Farm, befriend the villagers, and perhaps rare Items, possibly your great love. Because listening to the Similarities between Stardew Valley and Atomicrops but also, because your Farm is located in the nuclear-contaminated Wasteland, and you have to keep your precious plants to death, with a number of guns to defend.

You start with a short Tutorial where you learn the basics: weeding, fields, furrows, planting seeds and watering. Then, without further ADO, directly into the game. You are allowed your plants are not left short, if the necessary money for the weapons and the seed of the other is missing you. Not to mention the fact that can look forward to a successful Farmer after every Season about useful Items, such as life or bridge parts that open up to you the ways in new areas. You win the game, once 2,000 points have been collected – and believe me, this is a great challenge. Gets the most out of your field, while you at the same time against the regularly attacking mutants for the military – multi-tasking is a prerequisite to lead your Farm to success.

No time to waste

My personal daily routine as a trigger-happy Farmer, begins as follows: The day starts and I’m first in the desert, to liberate there as many of the mutants occupied Camps. In these there are a whole lot of practical stuff: animals, help in the field work, resources for the cultivation of cereals , a variety of equipment items or powerful tractors, the mowing by mutants as well as by weeds. In the evening I go back to the Farm, to plant to with my new items as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. Here, I make sure that I always four seeds of the same kind next to each other plant, if enough are available. If you fertilize the small plants still enough, they will merge to a much income super plant richer. As soon as the last wave of Enemies is turned off, the rescue helicopter and brings me into the city. When you arrive, you will receive for your Goods Golden beans, which are in addition to roses, the means of payment. This “money” you get for your crops, roses need, however, your self-plants. With the conventional money in your bridge you can purchase parts, seeds, and weapons – unfortunately, your shooting iron hold only a day. For roses your food gets essential to life, but with any purchase it is costly. With roses you can pay in other stores, and relationships with certain NPCs, build – to consider how you invest them.

As my stock of Guns, life and grain is raised, I start the second day. Money is my drive time is my enemy. Up to the last second, I edit my field to get plenty of income, the next day, a Boss is waiting for me. Seasons last only 3 days and on the last day, you must always fight a boss enemy. To buy in the city a gun is a duty – an Upgrade wouldn’t hurt, either. If the business is not a good combat unit is present, one can only hope – and try it again.

A Partner helps you and stands by you

In addition to the farms and Killing there is in the game yet a third large Feature: love. Unfortunately, this aspect is up to now relatively narrow. So, you have currently only two romances to choose from, the support from you in various ways. The tough campaigner Rue, the slaughter with all of you mutants and the the peaceful time, Borage, to help you on the Farm enjoyed. It is best to wrap your swarm around the Finger, by giving him every day, roses in exchange for a random Item. Each additional Time you have to have more roses jump. Your desire to have given partners enough roses, kisses you in a cute Animation under a wedding arch, and you’re married to her. I guess, for romance of the Apocalypse is in the Post-a lot of time. The developers have already announced that Updates are to be expected, among other things, a further Romance.

CONCLUSION

Atomicrops has a steep learning curve and sometimes a nasty random factor, but at the latest, after the first Time so much money earned, you to the next Boss with your upgraded super-weapon without any major problems for the devil sends, everything is bad blood remember. The brutal Wasteland, the cute but quirky villagers, and the exciting boss fights you entertained for hours on the screen. The graphics are not overwhelming, but the pixel look has won during my growing season is becoming more and more charm. A couple of permanent Upgrades, Unlockable, and a bit more focus on the “Marry”part, I would have liked, but the game is only recently, in Early Access since a lot more is coming for sure. Who it like his own Farm to care for the mutants to small wood-processing and not afraid, after each death, from the front to begin with Atomicrops certainly still have a lot of fun.
