Release version
Slime Rancher remains one of the most wholesome and joyful experiences in gaming, and this mobile transition is surprisingly robust. The vibrant, candy-colored world translates beautifully to smaller screens, and the performance is smooth enough to make exploring the Far, Far Range a breeze. The core loop of exploring, collecting, and ranching is as addictive as ever.
What makes this game special is its heart. The slimes are undeniably adorable, and the sense of discovery as you find new species or unlock a new area is genuine. The touch-controls have been thoughtfully implemented, making the 'vacpack' feel natural to use. Whether you're a returning fan or a newcomer, this is a must-have for anyone who enjoys farm-sims with a creative, adventurous twist. It's pure, unadulterated fun.
Fully optimized touch controls for first-person exploration
Dozen of unique slime species to discover and ranch
A vast world filled with secrets and diverse biomes
Ranch customization with gadgets and decorations
Relaxing 'Casual' mode or the challenging 'Adventure' mode
Create 'Largo' slimes by feeding a slime a plort of a different species. This allows you to produce two types of plorts at once, effectively doubling your ranch's output with half the enclosures.
Prioritize upgrading your jetpack and air tank early. This allows you to reach hidden plateaus and treasure pods that contain rare blueprints and resources found nowhere else.
Tarr are dangerous slimes created when a Largo eats a third type of plort. Keep them away with water or hydro-turrets!
As a frequent player of slime rancher and even modded the game, seeing it on mobile is a super fantastic thing to see! I noticed there have been slight cuts to make it for mobile but overall so far doing basic tasks of the game feels better than an average mobile game. I do hope some things get adjusted as some menus feel out of place from the original slime rancher and also icons of the games touch screen feels off. Also the game feels very smooth random inconsistencies but that's always been in slime rancher. Beatrix also feels off as her colors are more dull, but that's just a preference. Also the slimes are at the lowest LOD and some (example: Tabby) texture/shader are not glossy. Again if you are a slime rancher fan, you'd love this and even if you are just getting into the game the mobile version seems already great. Great work Playdigious!
I got so excited when I bought this game because I used to have the actual CD copy of it for my old PlayStation and then my PlayStation stopped working and the CD disappeared but this game is so addicting and it’s so fun and it’s so out of the box like there’s no way you can hate it. Looking at the price tag you might think that’s expensive but it really is worth it like I don’t ever write reviews, but I’m so obsessed with this game that I have to write a review for this one. Please get it, I just got it and played it for five hours straight and have had no glitches or mess ups, (besides me dying 😂), I can’t get across how much I adore this game. Worth the buy every time.
I may have only played this game over at a friends house and loved it and now that I can actually get the game and play it myself I love it, when you said that the game might crash or freeze I actually did expect one or two times it would happen but it never did and I have a low end device even for a IPad the one thing I would like to do is switch the FPS or change the graphics because well my IPad does overheat when I play but overall this is a great port of the console edition and I would love to see games like this grow more and more. Thanks for a great port.
I am having a great time with the game. Reliving all the old memories and playing on this port is great. There are still a couple bugs to definitely be worked out.😭I have not experienced my chickens being stuck in the floor in a very, very long time, but I am enjoying it all the same. 💯
Hi! I have wanted to play slime rancher since it released, and I am so grateful to get to play it now on mobile. I’ve loved the game so far, although it won’t let me manually switch to higher graphics when I want to. I understand the “tests” think they know better than me, but I at least want to try better graphics. Anyways, when popping the Gordo slimes, certain ones give me two keys.. from what I know, this isn’t normal. It allows me to cheat through the game, and kind of ruined my first play through. If these two minor bugs could be fixed, this is a PERFECT mobile adaptation!!
I just barely started the game and it seemed like it’s going to be a lot of fun. However from what I’ve read this sounds like a universal control controller issue. I have the razor kishi version 3 and pressing down on the left joystick doesn’t get my character to sprint. I’ve seen similar comments in the reviews so hopefully you guys can fix that at some point otherwise good stuff
Just as the title says. I got sick from playing it for 30 minutes. I tried several times and had to stop trying. I’m so bummed because the game looks SO good, but FPS games really need more education on how to make them accessible to the full spectrum of motion sickness gamers, not just the most mild cases.
I used to play this game with my cousin years ago on their xbox one and am so happy i can play it on my phone. no bugs or anything either so great optimization. THANK YOU DEVS this game is amazing and you guys did such good work on making it as good as you did for mobile.
