Rain World. Tasty Slugcat

Rain World is an action adventure game developed by ‘Videocult‘ and published by ‘Akupara games‘. Rain world is coming to Xbox Series X and Xbox One on the 12th of July 2023. It’s already out on other platforms since 2017. Rain World has what’s called a Slugcat. X35 Earthwalker has intel on Slugcats in the archives. Rain World coming to Xbox means a new experience. Let’s take a look. 

Rain World has players take control of a Slugcat. Well not just a Slugcat but a nomadic Slugcat. He on the move. On the hunt for food. Enough food to get through the hibernation cycle. The mission is simple but so is the problem. The Slugcat is in a food chain. It’s a prey and predator. So watch out concerning those bigger creatures out there. They be getting hungry! Word on the streets is that Slugcats are tasty. Some even say that Slugcats are delicious.

Rain World does make it clear that you are not alone. You got separated from your family. So the other goal is to reunite with them. There is strength in numbers after all. Don’t forget to find shelter as there are next level torrential downpours which will destroy you and maybe drown all life. Make your way through ancient ruins and off course square up with some bigger and dangerous creatures. There’s quite a bit going on in Rain World so be prepared.

We checked out some Rain World gameplay and it’s basically what we expected. Rain World does remind us of a certain other game in some ways. That game is Abe’s Exodus. We like the whole food chain survival situation. We like the agility of the Slugcat and how he moves. The predators do look dangerous but we hope they have a bit more intelligence. The water looks cool in this game and the variety of threats are good too. flying foes and even an annoying centipede. Hopefully the scary rain plays an actual role in the gameplay.

Overall Rain World looks like a good game. Reviewers have rated it on the lower side but we will have to see for ourselves on the Xbox Series X. This is going to be an adventure for sure and probably got a lot of panic causing moments. The colours and visuals definitely should have been better. The developers ‘Videocult’ have done a good job with this game. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to keep an eye open concerning this game. Now Rain World may have tasty Slugcats but they ain’t tasty enough for… the ‘Rain World’.
