About Slime Rancher

Slime Rancher is a first-person game released on August 1, 2017, for PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, and Xbox One. It blends shooter, simulator, strategy, and adventure elements, and it is set in a science fiction world with open world exploration. Developed by Monomi Park and published by Skybound Games and Monomi Park, it is the first entry in the Slime Rancher series.

The game is designed for single player and is rated E10+ by the ESRB and PEGI 3. Its setting is a distant frontier far from Earth, where the player takes on the role of a ranch hand working with slimes. Much of the play centers on managing a ranch, which involves collecting and caring for colorful slimes, growing crops, and gathering resources.

Exploration happens through a handheld multipurpose device, which the player uses to interact with the surrounding wilds. The action leans toward the shooter side of the genre list, while the simulation and strategy elements shape how the ranch develops over time.
