Pesticide Not Required is one of those games that immediately becomes interesting because of how unusual its ideas sound when described together. Farming and bullet heaven gameplay are genres that normally operate in completely different spaces. One focuses on relaxation, slow progression, and resource management, while the other revolves around chaos, overwhelming enemy swarms, and constant action. Surprisingly, instead of fighting against each other, these systems work together in a way that gives the game its own identity. Rather than creating a farming simulator with combat elements or a survivor-style game with light gardening mechanics, the experience feels like a genuine attempt to merge both concepts into a single interconnected gameplay loop. The game places players in an environment where survival extends beyond defeating enemies. While waves of aggressive creatures constantly threaten the player, there is also a growing farm to manage and resources to collect. This creates an experience where progression comes from several directions at once. Defeating enemies remains important, but planting crops, gathering materials, fishing, and expanding available options become equally meaningful. The result is a rhythm that feels busier and more engaging than many traditional survivor-style games because there is almost always another objective competing for attention. One of the strongest qualities of Pesticide Not Required is how productive every activity feels. Farming systems are not treated as decorative additions that simply exist to fit the game's theme. Crops and gathered resources directly support advancement and contribute to future growth. Mining and fishing serve similar purposes, becoming important parts of progression rather than optional distractions. This creates a satisfying cycle where nearly every action pushes players toward some form of improvement. Whether harvesting resources or eliminating enemies, there is a constant feeling that progress is being made. Build customization also appears to play a major role in maintaining long-term appeal. Like many roguelites, the game encourages experimentation through upgrades, traits, and evolving character setups. Runs can develop in very different directions depending on player choices and discovered combinations. Some players may focus entirely on offensive destruction and flood the screen with damage, while others might lean toward gathering efficiency, defensive setups, or more unusual combinations that blend several mechanics together. Discovering powerful synergies and watching strategies evolve over time creates much of the excitement that keeps these types of games enjoyable. Replay value is strengthened further by the game's variety of characters and progression options. Different characters introduce distinct traits and starting conditions that change how players approach each run. Instead of repeating the same routine repeatedly, players are encouraged to adapt and experiment. Different strengths and abilities naturally push players toward playstyles they may not have considered before. This variation helps prevent the experience from becoming repetitive even after multiple sessions. Another enjoyable aspect comes from the inclusion of pets and supportive systems that gradually help automate certain tasks. Early runs may require players to personally handle nearly every responsibility, but progression eventually introduces assistance that makes managing the growing chaos feel more efficient. Watching a small operation slowly evolve into a highly effective system creates a rewarding feeling similar to management games where gradual growth becomes one of the central pleasures. The visual presentation also suits the game's personality well. Pixel-art environments and colorful effects create a style that feels approachable and energetic. Despite large numbers of enemies and effects appearing on screen, the presentation maintains a lighthearted atmosphere that fits the game's unusual blend of farming and action. The simple visual approach also helps maintain readability during intense moments where screens can quickly become filled with movement and chaos. However, the game's many interconnected systems may initially create a learning curve for some players. Managing farming activities, selecting upgrades, gathering resources, and surviving combat encounters simultaneously can feel overwhelming at first. Players looking for a purely straightforward survivor experience might need some time to adjust to the larger number of decisions happening during each run. Certain builds and strategies may also appeal more strongly than others depending on personal preferences. Despite these small concerns, Pesticide Not Required succeeds because it avoids becoming another familiar entry in the increasingly crowded survivor genre. Instead of relying solely on endless enemy waves and upgrade selection, it introduces additional systems that meaningfully affect progression and create a stronger sense of involvement. For players who enjoy roguelite action games and want something that offers more variety beyond simple survival mechanics, Pesticide Not Required delivers a surprisingly addictive experience. It combines relaxation and chaos in a way that initially seems unusual but quickly proves to be one of the game's greatest strengths. Rating: 9/10
This is one of my favorite takes on the bullet heaven genre. It stands out with some original ideas and gameplay, while still being pretty true to the core idea. You have day and night cycles, with some upgrade choices that impact those, and each new day clears the screen (besides bosses) and opens the shop. You plant, water, grow, and harvest crops for XP, kill enemies / mine rocks / fish for coins, and use those coins at the shop to buy crops (including weapon seeds) and pets (which help with tasks) It's pretty active in a way despite not even having a dodge, because you have to move near these things and let the process go while also dodging / killing enemies. It can get HECTIC. But it's fun, and while a lot of the choices are + 1 archtype -1 another, you can mix and match to some extent. Also the different frogs have VERY different build styles which helps keep it interesting
Good enough survivors-like to have on the background, the weapon fusions are fun to discover and use, the farming routine during the runs makes it a little more interesting and motivating to play, the frog roster is relatively versatile, some of it plus the trophies are sometimes tricky to unlock (considering the absence of the endless mode, hence the constant urgency to squeeze in the challenge completion before the 15 minute mark), although once you figure out the formula, max out the stat bonuses and complete every level/difficulty - the challenge is pretty much complete and all that's left is testing out the remaining frogs and completing some more runs for the achievements - which at that point is only a matter of time, rather than strategizing and minmaxing, - which is chill and is much appreciated. Originally found this after trying the No More Pesticide demo, wasn't expecting much, played plenty of survivors-like before, after all. It's kinda neat though, has some fresh takes on the genre and the progression mostly feels satisfying. Not sure if the upcoming game can make things more spicy, I'll keep an eye on it in any case, and maybe try it out as well, - good to have something relatively engaging to run around in with the option to turn off your brain to and/or play while listening to whatever you like.
