Atomicrops Review

Posted: 5 months ago.

Overview

Atomicrops is a farming game where you also have to defend your crops from mutant attackers. It sounds like a strange combination, but the shooting and the tending work well to counterbalance each other.

Starting with a small patch of land after a nuclear explosion, you slowly build up your crops. Armed with your hoe, a watering pail, and a fully automatic weapon, you must grow ultra-GMO crops to feed the local town. Defend your land from the mutant pests and bandits that invade nightly to ravage your fields.

Along with farming and shooting, you can get to know, and even marry characters from the local town who will then fight alongside you. You can also recruit an entourage of pig pals, chicken chums and cow colleagues to automate farming tasks.
