With the holiday season coming up, this is also a great option for fans of things like Stardew Valley, Story of Seasons, My Time at Portia, and other casual simulation/farming games.Ī Nintendo Switch review copy of Slime Rancher Plortable Edition was provided by Monomi Park for this review.
SLIME RANCHER NINTENDO SWITCH PC
If you like Slime Rancher on PC and want to take it on the go, or if you’ve been eyeing Slime Rancher and just haven’t gotten it yet, check out Slime Rancher Plortable Edition. The idea of taking your ranch on the go is a fun one, and I think it would be great for kids or adults on a long commute or road trip. While the slowdown occurred once or twice, overall Slime Rancher Plortable Edition is a worthy port and plays very well. There were a few slow-down moments, but the controls are smooth, and the gameplay is crisp.įor a while, I’ve noticed that ports on Switch sometimes can suffer from crashes (looking at you Bloodstained), or lag in various animations. Slime Rancher Plortable Edition in particular plays like a dream. If you want to explore for long periods you can or you can stay at the ranch and grind money and resources.

The great thing about Slime Rancher though is that even playing on Adventure mode (the normal difficulty) you can play at your own pace. As you progress, you’ll even get to engage in Slime Science, which lets you develop new gadgets such as teleporters that you can use to get to hard-to-reach areas quickly. There are many ways to play Slime Rancher, and there are all sorts of habitats to unlock and explore as well. In fact, the prices of various plorts fluctuate, so you may decide to build a silo just to store certain plorts so that you can wait until the prices are high to sell them. As you explore you’ll unlock new upgrades and find rare slimes that will give you more money when you sell them. You’ll have to spend a lot of time ranching to get the money to unlock upgrades for Beatrix’s Vacpack, which will let you explore further, carry more items, increase your health, and more.
SLIME RANCHER NINTENDO SWITCH FULL
The Far Far Range is full of various types of vegetables, fruits, and different slimes to find.

However, if you play on casual mode and want to just relax and grow your ranch at your own pace without the worry of Tarr slimes then that is also an option.Įxploration is a big part of Slime Rancher as well. As a result, if you aren’t careful, you can lose a whole corral full of slimes very quickly.
Tarr slimes will eat other slimes and can convert other slimes to Tarr slimes as well. If you cross-breed a slime with another slime type and then that crossbreed tries to breed with a new type, it will create an abomination known as a Tarr slime. If you are playing on the standard difficulty, not only do you have to manage growing crops and raising chickadoos to feed your slimes, but you also have to worry about making sure they don’t over-breed. However, plorts also allow you to cross-breed slimes, creating things like Pink Tabby slimes and Phosphor Rock Slimes. By feeding slimes, they give you plorts (basically slime poo) which can be sold for money. Each slime has a different dietary focus, either veggies, fruits, or meat. The Far Far Range is home to all manner of slimes.
