Atomicrops, Switch's upcoming action-roguelike farming simulator, has been treated to a final release date on Nintendo's platform. You'll be able to get your hands on it from 28th May.
We first heard about this one back in March of last year, noting that it appears to be an intriguing blend of Stardew Valley and Fallout. You see, there's plenty of farming sim gameplay to enjoy, just like your usual laid-back titles, but this time you just so happen to be doing it in a post-apocalyptic wasteland full of enemies, weapons, and power-ups.
"Atomicrops is an action roguelite farming simulator. Armed with your hoe, a watering pail, and a fully automatic weapon, you must grow ultra-GMO crops to feed the local town… and make a hefty profit. Defend your land from the mutant pests and bandits that invade nightly to ravage your fields. Court and wed townsfolk to fight and farm by your side. Gather upgrades to increase yields, profit and power. Befriend the local wildlife to help with the chores."
It's been in Early Access on PC for a while now, and all updates the game received during that time will make it to Switch on day one. That includes a major update bringing two new spouses, new mushroom power-ups, and a total of ten difficulty tiers with score multipliers.

What are the reviews like on PC? I always thought Stardew needed more mutants!
The farming sim is becoming the new FPS
Shut up and take my money!
Anything that gives these sims a little of a weird edge gets the thumbs up from me.
Interesting idea. I love everything post-apo but the trailer is a pure chaos... (not in a good way)
Art looks messy as well. Hopefully it's a solid game.
Do not think Stardew Valley or you will be disappointed. This is more of an action shooting roguelite like Binding of Isaac or Enter the Gungeon.
It's fun but you die and the game resets. Permadeath is not Stardew Valley. The farming is fast paced. The crops are your currency for upgrades. Everything is trying to kill you. Dialogue is practically non-existent. You buy your spouse by growing roses. They give you upgrades until they marry you. Then they become extra defense on your farm.
Again, it's fun but what it borrows from Harvest Moon is not what people like about Harvest Moon. It's not even Rune Factory. It's its own thing.
You lost me at roguelite. I am really fed up of this genre.
I remember the strange trailer for this game...
