What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 260 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (4,017 of 4,245 positive).
Many highlight the deep farming mechanics, including seed genetics and vertical building, as engaging. [1][2][3]

8/10 - You should ABSOLUTELY give this game a chance!! *Early Access Review* One of the reviews on the Steam page calls it a "side-scroller Stardew Valley", but I think this game is so much more. As someone who does have thousands of hours in Stardew, Doloc Town is unique in its environmental art, character design, storyline, and mechanics. I totally get the comparison, because it scratches that same itch that makes …

This is one of the only farming sim games that meaningfully shifts from and adds to the stardew valley formula. The game has a unique cozy post-apocalypse setting (inspired by GLT) and an equally unique genre combination of metroidvania/farming sim. The aesthetic, graphics, and mechanics all demonstrate a high level of polish and originality. At this point, it feels rare to find games that are willing to take risks …

TLDR: Doloc Town, while a pretty good game, is NOT cozy due to poor combat and frustrating fishing. ____________________________ Doloc Town gets the core farming sim elements right, with vertical building in a 2D world being a nice twist. There's a decent amount to explore, multiple tech trees to unlock, and NPCs to engage with (though they're pretty one dimensional). But there are two elements that I find …

As someone who like story background but never want to have romance at the farming sim, this game is perfect for me. it's not the "OMG you must be the new farmer welcome to our heartwarming utopia bubble" type of game. NPCs have their grief, regret, PTSD from the war. They try their best to be nice, but you can see how they are also trapped in their past. I love the post-apocalypse world and how we are make living …

Well polished, detailed post-apocalyptic farming sim that has it all. Complex farming: Growth stages, watering, plant health, fertilizer, plant protection, and most unique - genes modifiers you can tinker with in late game. You also need to unlock seeds to begin with. Find hidden, protected samples in the wild, do research and provide materials to get them. The farm is 2D, you will build more horizontally than wide. …

Players who liked Doloc Town talk about unique post-apocalyptic setting and art style; those who didn't talk about combat is frustrating and poorly designed. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Doloc Town's pixel art graphics were praised. CG Magazine found the pixel art aesthetic "colorful" and said it provides a counterbalance to the post-apocalyptic setting and visual diversity.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to recommend this game. It is incredibly well-made, it runs smooth like butter, the characters are fun to interact, the story is engaging, the sprites are cute, the backgrounds are gorgeous, the music is good and satisfying, and above all else, it just scratches that itch that Stardew Valley scratches and most other farming games don't. However, the gameplay feels all-over the place and halting at times. Once you're done getting to know what you need to do, you realize that you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really wish there was a middle-vote here, because while the game isn't necessarily BAD, it's just not fun to play. There's a lot of complex mechanics that are dragged down by arbitrary decisions to make them unfun to use. - Lots of interesting items and materials... BUT the inventory system is extremely limiting. - You can carry Boxes to alleviate this... BUT they have very short durability and are clunky to use - The farming system is expansive and varied.... BUT random Acid Rain will kill…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got Doloc Town thinking it would be just another farming sim. Boy was I wrong. The story is already amazing and I haven't even gotten very far into it. The premise there is very dystopian but in a way I don't see very often. You're not mid apocalypse or so far after the apocalypse that it's wild country, but you're set only a few years after the apocalypse has occurred and society has clung to what normality they can in a post-apocalyptic world. The NPCs in this game, even only being early…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Normally, when playing 2D side-scrolling games, usually see farming systems merely as a side feature. Doloc Town it feels completely different. farming is the core experience, and it’s so fun. The game is set in a post apocalyptic world that evokes a lonely, desolate atmosphere. at the same time, the relationships among the NPCs living in town bring a heartwarming feel to the experience. soundtrack contributes immensely to this vibe it’s charming, concept of container farming, which fits the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doloc Town is a cozy post-apocalyptic farming and adventure game that I’d highly recommend to everyone, especially fans of Stardew Valley and Terraria. For an early access game, it already has a surprising amount of content. I’m currently 90 hours in, and there are still so many things I want to accomplish and areas I haven’t even seen yet. The game keeps you hooked with how much there is to do, from farming and crafting to exploring dangerous ruins, uncovering secrets of the world, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The OST cured my insomnia, The gameplay revived it. truly balanced indeed 10/10 when im broke, i go fishing, when im rich, i go fishing, when i got nothing to do, i go fishing, when in doubt, i goes sleep. starting as a broke little girl, lost on wasteland, retired as alcoholic nanny with enough beer to flood entire town 👍 For all new scavengers, who's just set foot on these wasteland, if u find the deer statue, just fishing there for 5 minutes, u'll thank me later
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a farming simulator, I like that there’s a lot of world exploration. There’s always something to do, but no rush to do it, and I’ve been enjoying it a lot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i really love doloc town. something about it really scratches that farming game itch i've had for a while now. i really love the setting and art, and the gameplay is simple yet deep. my favourite mechanic is the seed genetics! it's really satisfying to create the perfect GMO crop. the world and story are also interesting, and i can't wait for the full release next month!

Evolving from a scrap-gathering survivor into an easygoing farming tycoon. Transform the climate, and remake the wasteland into your personal Eden.
neutral · AI labelView post →I can't really recommend this game but I did like playing it and I played it a lot. It was frustrating in many parts and pretty grindy. There's a lot to do, the map could be bigger. But the worst issue is that it's hard to figure out what to do for some things, and the English pages for this game are FILLED with fake/hallucinated AI wikis and terrible info.

Should you decide to neglect it, you will either abandon the game at some point (which would be smart), or suffer as I did.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please play this because it is so very cute and deserves love for that alone. I was given a key to review in a video format by the devs but I genuinely would have picked this up at some point. It is so charming and you can feel that the devs love this project from the art alone. With how they draw the player character, it reminds me of Lea from Crosscode and I cant understand why other than love for their game and characters. Its fun and cosy with a narrative that is beyond just "you move…

neutral · AI labelView post →Post apocalyptic farming with some questing and robots. if you like cozy games, and want something a bit different but in the same genre. I definitely recommend it. It is a side scroller style game though, so make sure you like the style first.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! This is my first side scroller and I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but I really do. Vertical farming gives you a new challenge that makes it different from other farming games. Also, you don't have to spend too much time farming. When I think I'm going to run out of things to do, I find something new and it stays interesting. I look forward to playing when I get off work each day. This gives me the feeling I had when I started playing SDV, without feeling like this is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lovely take on the cozy farming sim genre. It's a unique, fresh view that finally gets away from the top down RPG Maker style. I got a solid 60 hours out of it while filling out >90% of the compendium. Primary cons: - Some of the late game combat areas are a little frustrating if you're not kitted out with food buffs, special hats, hidden accessories, and top of the line combat drone parts. - The metals needed for mid-late game machinery/equipment are unfortunately gated behind either…

Be creative about farm setup, go for comfort and aesthetic, go for efficiency and focus on production, there's way to play for everyone. The game's atmosphere is genuinely cozy, it feels very comforting playing the game, with calming and addicting OST. Exploring the map while listening to the amazing OST is genuinely one of the most cozy things one can experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It took me a hot minute to wrap my head around the controls and systems - but when I did, I got absolutely, absolutely hooked. It definitely scratched that stardew itch around the brilliant farming system and depth of the economy (just wait until you start genetically modifying your crops, or start working on trying to create specific fish offspring), and I really like the vibe and aesthetic. But beyond that, I also just found the game to be absolutely charming. There's a real sense of heart…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i'm absolutely hooked! this is not just another pixel art farming sim stardew copycat. covering your plants in plastic mulch to protect them from the acid rain? breaking up garbage bags to harvest broken batteries and wires and sheets of cardboard for crafting? this feels really fresh, and the town being made of all kinds of makeshift junk with survivors of a societal collapse... it's a very different vision but still has the cozy vibe!

This is a great game, but if you aren't into a copious amount of combat and puzzle solving, this is not the game for you. The farming mechanics within this game are way more than I could of ever expected, and this aspect of the game is wonderful. I personally hate combat, so I'm doing my best to get through that part of the game. Buyer beware: if you're looking for COZY, this ain't it!

I'm up to date with the plot, got most of the achievements and aren't tackling the few things left because I'm waiting for more. I don't usually play early games. I usually wait until their 1.0 release. But Doloc Town is different. It compels you to play more and more. The pixel art is superb, the soundtrack is relaxing and has this nostalgic feel. If the devs deliver what's promised on the roadmap this game will stand with the greatest of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am aware it's not the most helpful review but I feel like this game deserves more recognition for what it offers even in early access. If you are looking for "something like Stardew Valley" then it is that as well as something more. That said, Doloc Town, like many other farm sims, provides a gameplay that is both charming and relaxing. However it's unique setting and focus on environmental restoration gives it a new feel that's somewhat missing from other, as of yet, more popular titles.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an amazing game, already in the early access it is phenomenal. Devs are very respectful to the commmunity and are very open to suggestions. Much Love.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games inspired by Stardew Valley are fairly common nowadays, but it's rare that a developer recaptures the charm of the original while making it their own. Doloc town manages to pull this off in it's own style and provide an enjoyable experience, at least for the first two thirds of the game. It becomes frustrating in late game though, 90h in and I feel like the last 30h have been a grindy slog. Issues include.. - Unlocking a late-game automation system that just doesn't work as described.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unity game where the devs cant seem to figure out how to fix the camera being tied to 50FPS, causing the game to stutter 1 in every 6 frames, this can be seen in the video and the GIFS on the store page, its a stuttery mess that induces motion sickness whenever the character moves around, something that could easily be fixed in a few minutes

The music is my biggest draw: the soundtrack is amazing in my opinion, and I have half a mind to leave this game on in the background sometimes just so I can listen to the music and take some time to write. It's a simple game: gotta farm and make money, use that money to get more seeds, more land... the usual deal. However, a lot of…

It's a cute addition to the farming genre, and I think there are the bones of something on the level of Fields of Mistria in here.
