Although my wife noted that after a few hours she felt exhausted from the stress of constantly worrying about feeding her slimes. The only bad part of this game is that my whole family is addicted to it. You use these credits you earn to make better pens, bigger pens, buy upgrades like a jetpack, and ultimately open up more regions of the game. More plorts, better plorts, not flooding the plort market. What better way to ranch than to farm foods for your slimes.Īs a whole the game is an economic one. The only thing that initially derailed our Slime Rancher playing was the Minecraft update, which we’ll get to later.Īt first you think how long can this cuteness amuse me? But then you become completely obsessed with gathering certain slime types, certain food types, getting all those plorts! As the game unfolds new regions open up and you get to explore the candy-coloured wastelands around you.Īfter you master ranching a few slimes you take up agriculture. It’s bright, it’s bubbly, it’s completely bonkers.
SLIME RANCHER UPDATE UPGRADE
The credits you get are used to build and upgrade stuff. You take these plorts and head over to a vending machine attached to the plort-market that takes your plorts and gives you credits. They’re like gems or jewels but really they’re just poo. When a slime is fed and happy they drop a little plort.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s all about the plorts. And they keep trying to escape when they get too big. With a can-do attitude, plenty of grit, and her trusty vacpack, Beatrix attempts to stake a claim, amass a fortune, and avoid the continual peril that looms from the rolling, jiggling avalanche of slimes around every corner. Slime Rancher is the tale of Beatrix LeBeau, a plucky, young rancher who sets out for a life a thousand light years away from Earth on the ‘Far, Far Range’ where she tries her hand at making a living wrangling slimes. You then build a pen and hit the reverse button on your equipment and pop the the creatures into the pens with translucent force fields to keep them in. Equipped with a Dyson-looking vac system you go around sucking up little slime creatures from the desert-like landscape. You play the part of a, you guessed it, Slime Rancher. This is an absurd game that is so cute and odd that it’s impossible not to like.

The main difference is that one is a cute economic game about slimes and one is a story driven mystery. The two titles we’ve been playing a lot of are similar in that they’re both first-person, they’re both really beautiful, and they’re both kind of mysterious and anxiety-inducing.
