Doloc Town

"Post apocalyptic" or "2d side-scroller" may not be terms that most people think of when the idea of a cozy farming sim comes to mind. But Doloc Town makes it all work together wonderfully and helps it to stand out. Plenty of other farming sims have restoring the main town to it's former glory as the main long term goal which ties into the setting perfectly along with the games' themes of renewal and hope. And on the other hand, not going for a top-down view like most other games in this genre makes planning your farm out quite interesting. There's a nice sense of progression in this game too. Unlocking something usually happens at a pretty steady rate. Whether through the tech-tree, handing over a seed sample for new crops, or helping to rebuild the town; it's all great stuff. It extended to my farm itself; everything new I earned always made me ask how I could improve or build upon what I already have. Exploration is fun too. Nothing super involved like something more traditional. But there's plenty of secrets to uncover and a lot of those get you new seed samples so it's always worthwhile to explore. The combat isn't a main selling point but customizing your own drone and having it blast apart enemy robots is enjoyable. Makes me wonder how that aspect will change as time goes on. Having a giant robot boss fight would be fun. RedSaw has done a fantastic job, especially considering this is their debut game! Great pixel art, charming music, cute and laidback vibes; Doloc Town has a lot going for it already despite being not too far into the early access period. They've already impressed me with their dedication and passion. If they keep it up and pace themselves then they'll be left with something even more special by the end of it. Waiting until the game is fully released is understandable but there's plenty to keep you busy as is. Regardless this is a game to keep on your radar for fans of cozy games. I wish these developers nothing but the best!

Crafting, Gathering, Collecting, NPC Gifting, Platforming. There is a few Platforming Sections that was really hard and annoying, that should be made easier! I think a controller is needed for some of the harder platforming sections!

Everything I've ever wanted out of a farming sim and more. A lot of games have been labeled "the next Stardew". Fields Of Mistria, Littlewood, My Time At Portia, and more have all attempted to dethrone the all time king of farming sims. This game isn't interested in any of that glory. It absolutely wants to make it's own lane, using a completely different template than any farming/survival sim I've ever played. Go into this game blind. Even in it's earliest stage of Early Access, it is a game absolutely worth playing.

Game is cool it still has to grow as I done all the missions and I would love to play on. The grind isn't hard I actually enjoyed it, combat as well especially later in the game was really decent more focus on the character movement and let the drone do it's job. Farming is cool I like how the different seasons have different bad weathers real cool concept I was growing plants that can resist bad weather outside and in tents where the sensitive plants where chill. Fishing I really enjoyed especially the golden fish was so cool to win the mini game like beating a souls boss XD. Boxes are such a cool storage mechanism and frustrating to use at first but as I got the storage rack for them was cool to have all the items on me at all times and still have a line of empty slots. The are plenty of secrets where I couldn't find all and also at different seasons or time of day and even some exact days of the year where it will spawn. Music was a big part in a good grind absolutely love it. At the moment the game only has it's story up 2 the Mid game where it starts to get more interesting I have high hopes that the developer will smash it with the rest of the story.

Ah this game is very pleasing to play. It does everything it set's out to do and more. It's calming, fun, and just the right amount of entertainment to get lost in. This game adds some really interesting mechanics and fun new concepts to the farming sim genre that I really enjoy (like vertical planting & drones!) There's so much love and care here already and the game's only in Early Access! There are a few things I'd love to see in the main game after playing a bit. I'll include them below. Thing's I'd love to see more of - Map could have more labels on it. At the beginning, I kept getting confused what shop was where and where quests were if they didn't just put the ? on my map. Would love to have symbols describing what stores are where. - stamina feels like it's taken a little too fast. Maybe I just love fishing too much and I don't like how it takes stamina while I'm just waiting for the fish to bite (the fishing mechanic in this might be my favorite out of any game ever) - allow me to pull items out of my storage in the farm while i'm crafting something at the farm (ex: I'm making a plant basin and I have no wood however, it's in my storage 5 feet away) - The music can get a bit repetitive. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the tracks, but some area's I don't hear very often (ex: some of the shops) and some I hear too often, (ex: my farm) It would be nice to include some longer and less repetitive tracks. The music in this game though is so good I don't even wanna complain. I love the track when there's acid rain and I'm obsessed with listening to the rain on the tin roofs too. - Can't wait for romance/friendship! There is nothing in the game in Early Access but you can chat/give gifts with lots of people which leads me to believe they are adding something like this. At this point it doesn't seem like there's any purpose giving gifts and chatting with the people yet. Looking forward to this addition. I'm not sure they have romance planned but even me, an asexual woman, still loves my smol romance in these little cozy sims. I hope we get to see it! Thanks for working so hard on this incredibly lovable game <3

ive had this for a two ish weeks and its already tied with my favorite game, and i cant wait to see the game grow and to be there for any new things that might be added or improved ^^

Never before has a game been so poetic about garbage cans. The side-scrolling/2d farm-on-platforms concept is executed very well. I wish there were more dialogue for the characters -- that's by far its biggest weakness as a member of the genre. The metroidvania with drones version of the mines used in Doloc Town is surprisingly decent. Played 70+ hours and still have things to do, though I play at a super slow pace, I will definitely be back for later updates.

Very cute and lots of fun! each character is so enjoyable in their own way,the combat (while it takes some learning) is easy to understand,and youre given alot of freedom with your farm,being able to use platforms to build vertically as well as horizontally! has a really good message about recycling,and makes it a key mechanic of the game.

Amazing game. Ithink it really has potential to be something big.

Really enjoying the mix of quest and farming, the action is voluntary and can be automated. Wholesome fun.

This is an amazing game that will consume all the time you have. Everything is presented and moves swiftly with an interesting plot and simple mechanism and one of the best fishing mini-game since Stardew (enough said). The music will be the only part that could be improved, imho, all the rest is magic and I know I have so much more to explore in the game. This is just inspiring for players and devs alike. Just get it!

Post-apocalypse Stardew valley? sign me up! Pretty solid experience so far for early-access (as of 2025 June). I'm looking forward to what they implement further for the story and mechancis!

Charming and relaxing farming sim with some unique visuals, personality and flair. I'm excited to see where it goes from here. The roadmap of future features looks good.

I'm a huge fan of this game. Even though it's my first farming sim, I'm really enjoying it. The worldbuilding and art direction completely won me over.

Tho it's in early access, its a fun releaxing farming sim game with some bullet time combat aswell. And a nice story so far and characters, looking forward to the story progression and character relation to soon be added in the future

Love this game so much for the music, art style, and environment that makes the post apocalyptic setting feel hopeful. Highly recommend if you're looking for a casual farming and exploration game. I'm looking forward to future updates!

This is a game that you can play SO many hours until you're kind of done. I feel I'm so far from done. I'm just pushing through. The game is pretty fun! Playing with controller makes the moving around easier. I prefer the moving in the city/farm with keyboard. I feels it's made to play with both.

Although incomplete, a very nice experience. It has Stardew Valley-like mechanics in general but has a metroidvania twist on the action style. At the moment there is less customization (the story is more fixed in nature than Stardew's is now.) I'd hope to see some more complexity in interactions with villagers, and some more uses for corn and potatoes. Perhaps Doloc Town can do something right that Stardew Valley mostly failed at: making cooking food a viable path to adding value to it. One further comment is that at present the game's difficulty seems somewhat low, and progression can occur very, very quickly. This was very noticeable to me, but might be less so if there were a larger variety of side activities that one could engage in besides obtaining a mountain of recyclable rubbish.

Had a lot of fun with the vertical farm layout. Love the spring platforms. Would like to see a diagonal one added to future updates for some pinball action. If I can give one non-spoiler piece of advice to new players it would be to build the Weather Forecast machine and put it next to your mailbox.

A different take on the stardew valley slice of the world, a little more adventure based than farming based but that works towards its charm if that's up your alley!

100 jam dan akan terus bertambah, Saya sangat bersemangat ^.^

this game is the type of game where I just say that time passes quickly.

目前好玩，期待更新

I love this game. Not too often does a game hold my attention as Doloc Town has! I truly enjoy the graphics and layout of the game. Its enough combat to offer challenge but still enjoy the game. When I think that I've uncovered all the areas of the map something pops up behind a rock or mysterious wall. My only critic is that with the game being newly released there is not much internet help with crafting and cooking so its a lot of trial and error until you discover the recipe. If the game devs could add a better guide this would make the game a 10/10 for me. And the sound track... so cozy!

As a longtime farm sim lover, with countless hours in harvest moon across multiple systems and over 1000 hours in stardew on multiple platforms, this is the next game I was looking for. I adore the storyline, the mechanics(although different) and graphics and post apocalyptic setting. I also really like the side scrolling platform playstyle. As this game is still in early access I am extremely looking forward to the future continued content. Worth the money 10/10 recommend

Really cute Stardew-like farming sim ^^ I love the artstyle awa

This is an obsession. And they are adding to it.

Nice and chill game

Wonderful cozy game 10/10

This the life that everybody ask for

10/10
