    Atomicrops is a challenging twin-stick shooter with light sim elements presented in beautiful, bizarre pixel-art package. Lacklustre farming controls and frame-rate drops prevent the label of greatness, but at £13.49, it’s well-priced and definitely worth your time.

    With a few more tweaks in certain areas when it comes to the difficulty and improved farming controls, Atomicrops could easily be a terrific roguelike shooter. As is, though, it’s still enjoyable, with great action that easily keeps you wanting more, a lot of goods to hunt for and try out in order to come up with a good strategy, and eye-popping, vibrant visuals that make astounding use of pixel art. It may be a tricky crop to tackle, but there’s still a rewarding experience here that’s worth checking out.

    Atomicrops is an enjoyable Twin-Stick shooter that can provide some good challenge and laughs to people who like Bullet Hell and are ready to let it grow. Don't expect it to be the more polished game on Earth, accept the facts that farming isn't very satisfying and social interactions are quite missing, and you'll probably find a potentially addictive experience.

    Now I understand why people like these sorts of games. Atomicrops looks hard, but it doesn’t feel punishing as you’re playing it. It’s hard in a way that’s approachable, and I’ve come to understand each repetition — dying and starting over — is a part of the process. I could hardly think about what I was doing during my earliest runs, I was so overwhelmed. I just shot at things and ran around. But now, I can approach Atomicrops with a plan, knowing just how long I need to clear an area and when to rush back to protect my plants. I’ve learned how to dodge and shoot and water my plants by doing it all at the same time, over and over. Heck, I like the chaos of bullet-hell games now. Or at least the ones where you can make it back to town with a good harvest, and flirt with some strangers before going into battle.

    Gameplay has elements from stardew valley, enter the gungeon, dead cells
    Only things I would like fixed are loading times and lags. They don’t break the game though.
    For 15$ its a fun little hardcore game. If enter the gungeon, dead cells, nuclear throne are your type of game, it is surely a game for you    … Full Review »
