Except that it happens moments before the nuclear apocalypse, and now you\u2019re the last farmer on Earth. Not only do you have to get your farm up and running as the radiation settles, but you\u2019ll also have to fight all kinds of mutated vermin and pests.<\/p>\n<p>You can expect the usual farming sim gameplay where you\u2019ll plant your crops carefully and make sure they\u2019re fertilized and watered. You\u2019ll also explore the surrounding areas to find items, seeds, and farm animals to help your fields grow. You can even get married, and your partner will help tend your farm and fight the fiends.<\/p>\n<h2><em>Atomicrops<\/em> early access<\/h2>\n<p>Developer Bird Bath Games plans to reveal a roadmap for the early access period of <em>Atomicrops<\/em> soon. There is no mention so far of how long the game will stay in early access. The plans mostly include new partners for player characters to marry, more items, and more enemies.<\/p>\n<p>The developers emphasize the importance of a fan community to develop an early access title. The Epic Games Store doesn\u2019t quite have a lot of infrastructure in that sense, so we\u2019ll see how the game develops in the coming months. Starting today, <em>Atomicrops<\/em> is available at 50 percent off, and each day the discount will drop 10 percent until it\u2019s back to the normal price of $14.99 \/ \u20ac14.99 \/ \u00a311.99.<\/p>\n<p>So if that sounds like your kind of game, check it out on the Epic Games Store and show the developers your support through the early access period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you liked Stardew Valley but thought it was a bit too cute and adorable, you just might love Atomicrops.
