This post-apocalyptic farming sim might have the best pixel art and Steam trailer I've seen all year, but it's the Terraria vibes that really set the hook

I know when you see the words post-apocalypse, farming simulator, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Terraria all combined, 🀅you either roll your eyes or open up your wallet, ready to hand over your money ♈to whatever game is fusing all these elements. Enter Doloc Town, which has all this plus a gorgeous pixel art aesthetic and mesmerizing soundtrack.

Blending 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley's farming and Terraria's 2D side-scrolling base-building, is currently in early access, and already has 673 reviews and a 'Very Positive' score on Steam. People can't stop describing what genres it's merging. "Metroidvaꦗnia post-apocalyptic farming sim... weird combo that surprisingly works very well," reads one review.

If you're worried about it simply being a derivative Stardew Valley and Terraria knockoff, don't be. One review describes it as a "unique take o🔯n Life/Farm Sims with hints of metroidvania, and an aesthetic flair for the post-apocalypse."

I'm a m🧸assive fan of post-apocalyptic g𒀰ames, and I also love farming simulators, but while Atomicrops just misses the mark for me, Doloc Town looks like a perfect blend.

It helps that it has "fun writing and a progression that feels nuanced and varied." It also goes beyond just buᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚilding up a farm and planting crops, as the trailer shows some bullet-hell combat and a whole host of weapons that you can create. You've got to protect your plants somehow.

There's also a story to uncover as you investigate the "untold stories of this forgotten la🐼nd."
