Developer Glumberland announced their farming sim Ooblets is coming to Switch.
Ooblets has been available in early access for Windows, which is an Epic Games Store exclusive, as well as on Xbox One.
The game is a mix of a farming sim, similar to that of games like Harvest Moon or Story of Seasons. And creature collection, similar to Pokémon. Though battling is nothing like that popular franchise, instead being more akin to a dance system based on cards.
Here’s a new trailer:
The game drew fan backlash when it was announced it would be an Epic Store Exclusive. The situation between the developers and fans even prompted a response from Epic Game themselves.
