Mobile port of the hit slime-themed sim
Slime Rancher is a free simulation game from Monomi Park and ported for mobile by GameHard. It was first released in 2016 and has since gained a dedicated fan base due to its unique gameplay and charming graphics. In this sci-fi crossed with a farming simulator, you play as Beatrix LeBeau, who moves into the Far, Far Range to be the titular rancher.
As the mobile port, this version of Slime Rancher tries to be as faithful as possible to the original game. This is quite similar to One State RP - Life Simulator or Toca Life World: Build a Story.
Hunt, breed, and grow slimes all day
One of the standout features of Slime Rancher is its quirky and colorful world. The game takes place on a distant planet called the Far, Far Range where players take on the role of a rancher named Beatrix LeBeau. As a rancher, your main goal is to explore and collect different types of slimes, cute and squishy creatures that are the primary resource in the game.
The gameplay here is addictive and engaging. As you explore the Far, Far Range, you'll encounter different types of slimes with unique behaviors and abilities. These slimes can be collected and raised on your ranch where you can feed them, keep them happy, and harvest for profit. As a mobile port, it adapts an intuitive touchscreen control layout, and it also supports controllers.
However, some players have noted that the late-game content can become repetitive, with limited options for further progression. Additionally, the game has had some technical issues in the past, such as crashes and bugs. Some of the glitches are still in this version, plus a couple of optimization problems not found the original. Persisting problems and issues with the mobile port could negatively affect the gameplay experience.
A passable port of a fun game
Overall, Slime Rancher is a fun and addictive game that offers hours of entertainment. Its unique concept, charming graphics, and engaging gameplay make it a standout among other simulation games. While there may be some potential issues, the overall experience of playing Slime Rancher is highly enjoyable. Whether you're a casual player or a die-hard fan, Slime Rancher is definitely worth trying out.
