Adventure on a Far-Away Planet in Slime Rancher, Out Now on Mobile

The hit PC farm-life sim game Slime Rancher is now out on mobile. It first released in 2016 for PC and is from American indie studio Monomi Park. On mobile, it’s published by Playdigious. The game plays from a first-person perspective in a huge open world full of colourful aliens.

The story of a Slime Rancher

You play as Beatrix LeBeau, a rancher who leaves Earth behind and heads a thousand light-years away to a place called the Far, Far Range. The story is mostly told through notes left behind by the ranch’s previous owner, guiding Beatrix during her time in the new place.

You catch slimes, raise them, feed them, sell their plorts, make money, and improve the ranch. That’s the initial loop. But then you also deal with weird hybrid slime species, manage food supplies, explore dangerous areas, and accidentally spend way too much time organising corrals.

Slime Rancher lets you use a gadget called the vacpack to suck up slimes and resources. Some slimes are easy to deal with, others are picky, and some come with special requirements if you want to keep them happy and productive. You can also combine slime species to discover hybrids.

A lot of the game revolves around rebuilding the abandoned ranch and uncovering more of the planet. Areas like the sandy Dry Reef, the overgrown Moss Blanket, and the crystal-filled Indigo Quarry all show up during exploration. You’ll also find hidden treasures and resources.

What’s special on mobile?

The Slime Rancher mobile version obviously has a fully revamped mobile UI with complete touch controls. You also get Google Play Games achievements, cloud saves between Android devices, and controller compatibility.

There are three different game modes available. Adventure Mode is the standard experience where you deal with the full ranching loop and its problems as intended. Casual Mode tones things down for a more relaxed playthrough. Lastly, Rush Mode pushes you to move faster and optimise your progress.

Slime Rancher is now available on the Google Play Store. Usually priced at $7.99, it’s currently live with a launch discount of 10%.
