Ooblets Celebrates Steam Launch with Halloween Event

Ooblets, the charming indie farming sim and dance battler, is now available on Steam. To celebrate its launch on the popular PC gaming platform, Ooblets is offering a hefty 40% discount on Steam this week. This comes after the game’s exclusivity on the Epic Games Store came to an end.

Drawing inspiration from games like Stardew Valley, Story of Seasons, and Pokémon, Ooblets allows players to grow and nurture cute creatures in their garden. These creatures can then compete against each other in non-violent, card-based dance battles. The game’s unique blend of farming and dance battles has garnered much attention and praise from critics and players alike.

In addition to the Steam launch, Ooblets is also hosting its annual Halloween event, which will run until November 15th. The event features both new and returning seasonal content, adding a festive touch to the game.

While Ooblets was technically exclusive to the Epic Games Store for just over a year, it feels like it has been around much longer due to its two-year early access period on Epic. The game’s launch on Steam offers an opportunity for new players to join in on the fun, and the 40% discount serves as an enticing incentive for those who may have been waiting for its release on Steam.

However, Ooblets faced controversy back in 2019 when it announced its deal with Epic for timed exclusivity on PC. The developers, Glumberland, received hateful and threatening messages in response to the announcement, making headlines for the wrong reasons. Despite this initial backlash, Ooblets has received positive reviews from both critics and players, with a “Very Positive” rating on Steam within just a day of its launch.

Fans of whimsical and lighthearted games will find Ooblets to be a delightful experience. The game is available on the Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and now Steam, where it is currently on sale at a discount until October 12th.
