Critic Reviews for Doloc Town
Doloc Town is a trashpunk farming and crafting life sim set in a postapocalyptic world that's got a decent start on the way to healing.
Doloc Town is a genuinely fun and incredibly adorable blend of farming sim and platformer set in a post-apocalyptic world, adding a genuinely unique vibe to the genre.
I'm sure you could blast your way through it targeting specific routes, of course.
For fans of farming games, Doloc Town is undoubtedly worth trying. It offers plenty of fresh mechanics, systems, and production chains that constantly give you something to work toward, whether it is building a bigger and better farm or unlocking new technologies that make life easier. However, its rather traditional gameplay loop can feel somewhat tiring by today's standards, while some of its finer details and player guidance are not quite as polished as they could be, leaving a few small areas where it falls short of other games in the genre.

A unique farming simulator in many ways, it's one of the best attempts to make something as engaging as Stardew Valley.

The vertical farming sim Doloc Town has successfully exited Early Access. Farming activities involving plants and animals are convincingly rendered in the side-view perspective. While the NPCs rarely initiate dialogue outside of cutscenes, the area outside the city offers plenty to explore and discover. The story now comes to a satisfying conclusion, and the new area has become a real highlight.

Doloc Town is still built around the familiar cycle of planting, watering, harvesting, selling, and expanding, so anyone who has played another farming simulator will understand it immediately. What makes it special is everything constructed around that loop. Vertical farming is clever, platforming changes how you interact with the world, ability-gated exploration gives upgrades more purpose, and the post-apocalyptic town has real charm.
Doloc Town is another strong energy in a sub-genre that is currently in rude health, with its side-on view and pixel art style helping the game to stand out. While the gameplay systems may not ultimately deviate greatly from established formula, it nonetheless provides a charming experience with enough depth and farm customisation options to keep players engaged for a significant amount of time.
