Atomicrops

FARM, MARRY, KILL.
germinating 2019

Atomicrops is a new Raw Fury-published game that's a post-apocalyptic bullet hell farmer. It's Stardew Valley by way of Enter the Gungeon. It's Harvest Moon by way of Ikaruga.

Atomicrops is an action roguelite farming simulator. Cultivate ultra-GMO crops, scavenge the wastelands of the post apocalypse, recruit a herd of helpful farm animals and maybe even find love all while battling with swarms of mutated beasts to defend your farm; the last farm on Earth.

In Atomicrops, you've got to shoot to till.
 

FARM   Reap a bountiful harvest to sustain humanity… and make a huge profit. Spend your money on gun and equipment upgrades to increase your yield.

 MARRY   Woo and marry a kindred spirit from the local town to fight and farm alongside you.
 

KILL   Fight bizarre post-nuclear pests starving for a piece of your crops. Turn your enemies into fertilizer to maximize your harvest quality.
 

UPGRADE   Explore the far reaches of the biomes to find useful relics of farms long past. Discover rusty farm equipment, antique gardening tools, and tomes of how-to garden guides to increase your farming power.
 

BEFRIEND   Recruit an entourage of pig pals, chicken chums and cow colleagues to automate farming tasks. Cultivating atomicrops is a tough job, you'll need all the help you can get.


Further details

• Atomicrops has a Rogue Legacy-inspired meta progress system, so each run will benefit the next in some way.
• There will be Binding of Isaac-like boss and challenge rooms scattered around the world map.
• There are sharkmatoes.
• You might be able to romance a tomato. Sharkmato eligibility also remains to be seen.
• The townsfolk you marry will fight for you—yes, exactly "like a mercenary in Diablo."
• "You can keep upgrading your spouse with roses to make them more powerful and maybe eventually have a child?" according to Wynne. How romantic.
• There are no plans for an Early Access release.
• Mod support is not out of the question, but it's currently just a pipe-dream.
