Slimy, yet satisfying gameplay

The core gameplay mechanics of Slime Rancher are easy to grasp and don’t take long to master. The player’s main task is to manage a farm of slime. To that end they have to roam, the Far-Far Range, the open-world environment of the game, and collect samples of the substance with their Vacpack. Slimes are fickle and require careful attention and feeding appropriate items. Once fed, the slimes will produce “plorts” – items, which can be sold for Newbucks, the in-game currency necessary to upgrade the ranch. Plorts can also be fed to the slimes of different species to combine them. The player should be careful, though – overfeeding a slime can turn them into a destructive, tar-like substance.
