Good game but I do have one complaint. The unlockable character, the orchadist, feels a lot worse than the main character. I feel it would be better if the unlock order has the orchadist was the starting character and the farmer was the unlockable one. Idk if this has been fixed in the main game but it was just a small gripe. Amazing game nevertheless

"Noxious Weeds: Prologue" is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Vampire Survivors (Copyright Poncle, 2021). Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. Putting aside the unethical intellectual, creative and moral bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping off. "Noxious Weeds: Prologue" is considerably worse than Vampire Survivors. The only differentiator here is significantly lower quality and variety than Vampire Survivors, a pointless and unengaging "plants" theme, even more obscure in-game instructions/tooltips, and a crappy day/night scheme that just makes the whole experience of playing a worse version of Vampire Survivors even more awful. The developers abandoned this almost 2 years ago, it will never be a complete ripoff of Vampire Survivors, just an incomplete ripoff of Vampire Survivors. The amateur pixelcrap visual presentation here at best could have been an attempt to use "retro" as a crutch, a weak excuse to avoid admitting the developer wasn't capable of doing the job of a game developer this decade and creating cutting edge, high quality 3D visuals. While a lack of skill or funding is the explanation for this failure, it's no excuse. The end result of this incompetence is a game that looks dramatically inferior to professionally developed games. Terraria and Undertale succeeded [i]despite[/i] looking crap, not [i]because[/i] they look crap. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content!" and lazily tried to use procgen algorithms to create infinite, samey, repetitive, soulless levels, because that's a lot less work. As a result of this poor decision, the game gets tired and repetitive almost immediately. Developers must learn that procgen is a terrible substitute for creating real content. It should not be used as "ez-mode" for content creation, as the developer tried to do here. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" section is truly free, there's usually some hidden price tag), at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 130 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB shows this peaked at [b]only 13 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Since free games don't contribute to your game collector badge and other profile stuff, is this a worthwhile addition to your Steam library? This is a "nope". While it won't necessarily cost you money, the time and hard drive space it requires could be better invested in one of the many higher quality alternatives on Steam. Worse, this isn't even the full game, it's an advertisement for it and the developer wants you to pay $5 for the full, abandoned ripoff of Vampire Survivors. Why is this garbage allowed on Steam?
Приключенческая игра с элементами симулятора садоводства и выживания: игрок борется с захватническими сорняками, восстанавливает экосистему и ухаживает за растениями в загадочном мире. Сочетает рутинные задачи по уходу за садом с исследованием окружения и раскрытием сюжета о природе заражения. Плюсы: необычная тематика — акцент на борьбе с сорняками и восстановлении флоры выделяет игру на фоне других симуляторов; медитативный геймплей — процессы посадки, полива и прополки действуют успокаивающе, создают расслабляющую атмосферу; атмосферное окружение — детализированные растения, смена погоды и времени суток усиливают погружение в мир игры. Минусы: ограниченный контент пролога — объём материала рассчитан на короткое знакомство, не даёт полного представления о полноценной игре; медленное начало — первые этапы сосредоточены на обучении и рутинных действиях, что может показаться скучным; слабая динамика сюжета — повествование подаётся дозировано и фрагментарно, из‑за чего интерес к истории нарастает медленно. Итог: подойдёт любителям симуляторов садоводства и медитативных приключений — впечатляет оригинальной темой борьбы с сорняками, расслабляющим геймплеем и атмосферной визуальной стилистикой. Может разочаровать из‑за краткости пролога, неторопливого старта и сдержанного темпа раскрытия сюжета.
Игра "Noxious Weeds: Prologue" – это интересный, хотя и короткий, взгляд на потенциально захватывающую вселенную. Сюжет обещает быть интригующим, затрагивая темы выживания, мутации и борьбы с враждебными формами жизни. Визуальный стиль приятный и атмосферный, неплохо передает ощущение заброшенного и зараженного мира. Геймплей представляет собой смесь выживания и исследования с крафтом и сбором ресурсов. Механики пока кажутся базовыми, но достаточно функциональными для ознакомления с основными принципами игры. Управление немного сковано, нуждается в доработке. Несмотря на то, что это всего лишь пролог, он успешно вызывает интерес к полной версии. Чувствуется потенциал для создания глубокой и увлекательной истории. Основной проблемой является небольшая продолжительность и некоторая "сырость" геймплея, что вполне объяснимо для демо-версии. Рекомендую ознакомиться с игрой, если вас привлекают темы выживания в постапокалиптическом сеттинге с элементами хоррора. Будем надеяться, что полная версия оправдает ожидания.
Eğlenceli ve hızlı tempolu bir aksiyon rogue-lite. Sevimli sebzeler ve çeşitli araçlarla yaratıkları yenmek oldukça keyifli. Kısa seanslarla oynanabilir ve farklı stratejiler geliştirilebiliyor. Özellikle Risk of Rain ve Vampire Survivors tarzı oyunlardan hoşlanıyorsanız, bu oyun kesinlikle ilginç bir seçenek.
