Part harvest sim, part sports game, and 100 percent cultivated chaos, Planted! challenges players to take on their friends in arena combat where they will need to strategically plan their produce production for success. Will they utilize fertilizer to grow colossal crops for more points, will they steal their opponents offerings, or will they use powerups to propel themselves to victory? Only thyme will tell.
Planted! offers several flavors of gameplay, with players able to jump into the multiplayer both sat on the couch locally and online with their friends (or foes), cross-play between both PC and consoles, and for players wanting to pull on their wellies, grab their spade, and hit the allotment solo, Planted! also offers a carefully grown single player campaign, set in the cutthroat world of competitive gardening.
