May 2025
I was looking for an idle creature breeding sim when I came across Mudborne. Thought it was cute and bought it (on sale too!). When I booted it up, I was a little surprised that there was a whole world to explore (that's what I get for impulse-buying I suppose) and that it was not much of an idler. But it was not an unwelcome surprise. 50 hours and 77/77 achievements in, I can say I croaking love this game. The genetics system and collections (frogs, frog variants, mushrooms, and bugs galore!) tickled my brain in all the right places. The lore was deeply interesting, the humor was just right, and I could tell that a lot of love went into this game. Honestly, I probably could've finished the game faster (including 100% completion) if I played through the story first and discovered everything later, but breeding froggies was just way too fun for me haha On top of all that, it's just so cute! Pls pls pls read the frog descriptions! My favorite is probably the Weeny Sponge but they're all such delightful lil lads. I do have some criticisms. Definitely get the faster walking speed mod if you're impatient (eat the bugs too, they make you faster). Maybe the full pause in books one if you don't want to miss time windows while checking your objectives (dusk and dawn are a little short). But these issues don't really detract from the game, because it provides you with tools to get around faster and pass time quicker. Here are some tips I found really useful! - Don't forget your chair!!!!!! It makes time pass by really quickly! If you lost yours somehow (totally not me lol) you can buy another from an NPC for cheap :) There are some out in the world too; you get your first one for free - RESPAWN WITH R! No need to walk back to the ponds. I totally forgot about it (don't be like me!) - You can stack trait multipliers! Dunno why I thought you couldn't but you totally can (don't be like me!) I bought this game during its introductory sale and really, my only regret is not paying full price for it. It's not expensive at all, and they donate part of their earnings to environment and amphibian conservation groups. Might buy another copy to support :D I'll probably check out Apico too, and I'm hoping it's as every bit a good game as Mudborne is

I absolutely love Mudborne! I want to start by saying that I love Apico and was looking forward to the release of this game. It does not disappoint! While Apico is more focused on the collectathon aspect, Mudborne is more puzzle-based. For example, you want to use specific frogs to unlock parts of the world to move the story forward. The trick is that the specific frogs needed are created by altering the genetics of their offspring using mushroom science. The devs hit it out of the park again!

This review is for people on the fence while it is still on sale. I will write more later. I only have 7.4 hours in, and it feels like I have scratched the surface. An excellent game. [*]-Apico had clear Forestry inspiration, but Mudborne is its own thing. It has all the same genetic fun while bringing a unique system to the table. [*]-You can press space to ribbit, and this will attract wild frogs for you to catch. [*]-There is a pokedex-like page for the frogs, which helps you find variants and gives you really cute images of your frog species in their natural environment (an environment which might be a pile of other sleepy, tiny frogs). [*]-The frogs can be so angry or chill that they change the temperature--a clever way of handling climate! [*]-Everything is powered by Croakwork machines--the loudness of your baby frog ribbits. [*]-You can breed dapper frogs. Liked Apico or the Forestry mod? Then get it, case closed. Do you not like Apico/Forestry? Then this does bring some changes that can win you over. The genetic system has moved to a number system, allowing for much more flexibility, and you never have to 'start at 0' with things. You can keep multiple 'bases' to speed up breeding, but usually you can get what you need in two or three generations...IF you like math puzzles. The math is not super complex, you have a preview before any point of no return with hatching eggs, and there is a predictor that helps you with multiple generations of planning (to make sure it works like it does in your head!). So far, there are no random mutations to wait around for--you have specific number goals and hints are scattered throughout the game if you have trouble finding what numbers make new species. This may change as I play more, but for now it is very straightforward. I can find things without resorting to going to a wiki and finding that Extra Rare Frog 1 and Super Common Frog 2 have a 1% chance of making a legendary secret species or something. I still need to gather a bunch of mushrooms and plan things out to get the perfect set of numbers--and sometimes need to plan out several generations in a row!--so the effort still feels rewarded. It is more of an 'active' breeding system than past games. Less waiting, less RNG, more gameplay. To be continued, maybe!

You can press space to ribbit and nearby frogs will ribbit back. Not sure what else the game does but definitely worth a try if that's your thing.

They took Apico - already a fantastic top down management game - and added lore, puzzles, a dream world, and frogs. This game is ribbiting.
