Farmed & Dangerous

Grandpa left you three things: the farm, a bag of carrot seeds, and his old revolver. You're going to need all three.

DEFEND THE HARVEST

Your farm is under siege from the sky. By day the crows come, wave after wave and more of them each morning, and you meet them in first person. Start with Grandpa's revolver and work up to shotguns, SMGs, a grenade launcher, an RPG and, for some reason, a katana. Back them up with auto turrets, sprinklers and scarecrows.

Keep everything watered while you shoot, because every peck and every dry hour is yield you never get back. Snatch a crow off your tomatoes and throw it. When it all goes wrong, radio in the Crop Duster or call down a nuke. Or just fire a rocket into a circling flock and watch the birds rain out of the sky.

PLANT BY NIGHT

When the sun goes down, the shooting stops. Night is safe and in no hurry: plant, harvest, shop and plan. Any crop that survives the day grows another stage.

FEED THE TRUCK

Farmed & Dangerous is a roguelite where killing earns you nothing (golden birds excepted): the crops are the economy, and you are their heavily armed babysitter. Sell your harvest to pay for seeds, turrets and air support, or stockpile it for the delivery truck that rolls in every few days demanding a bigger order. Miss the order and the run is over.

BRING FRIENDS

Up to three farmers can work the same farm in online co-op. You share one wallet and one truck order, with proximity voice chat for yelling across the cornfield. The flock grows with your crew.

BEND THE RUN

Three perk cards hit the table at nightfall. Pick one and bend the run your way. In co-op, the whole crew votes.

Feeling lucky? The farm's casino has slots, roulette and blackjack for the money you probably should have spent on sprinklers.

KEEP WHAT YOU GROW

Between runs, spend your hard-earned Cores on land that stays yours, new guns for the armory wall, and a basement grow room for the one crop the truck driver doesn't need to know about.

Then start again a little stronger, on a farm that gets a little louder every day.
