Noxious Weeds

This game is SO much fun! It's easy to get lost in and I've found myself saying "one more run" like 15 times each playing session. This is easily one of my favorites.

As of 8/22/2026 it's been nearly two years since the last update. Abandoned.

on early access: developer appears to have abandoned game correlating to release of their title, "Chonkers," and have similarly appeared to have abandoned development of "Hardest Harvest," an arena shooter à la Devil Daggers before offering any non-demo release. In light of this information, I consider this game to be both abandonware and incomplete, however my review is not contingent on either consideration. Instead, I am reviewing this game "as is," recommending for/against purchase in light of what is present, not what might be in the future. Significant future addition to the game appears unlikely-but-not-impossible. The farming angle of a survivors-like is not entirely new, but given the Hardest Harvest demo, it appears to be a meaningful theme to the devs, and much of the visuals call back to said demo, even if in a 'demake' style somewhere between 16 bit and 2d more generally. While the care in creation of the sprites and balancing feels evident, it does not quite seem logically consistent. What constitutes friend and foe is limited to the developer's assigned values, but does not seem linked to any subjectively available criteria. Their own taste towards the produces name…

This is a fantastic take on the survivor bullet heaven Brotato kind sub-genre. It use a Farmer theme with unique selfmade assets where you fight against angry vegetables and fruits. While you collecting seeds, water and harvest trees, bushes for passive upgrades between waves while free up little vegetables to help you in the fight. It made the whole gameplay very interactive and motivate you to move around, not just avoiding bullets, but for progressing. The map on waves have different hazzards to made challenge, like small waterpools in rain to slow or hard fog to barely see. Alot of characters and achievements to unlock and also Meta progress to make you stronger. All characters have their unique weaponry. In setting you also can finetune the gameplay with changing enemies speed and damage. Highly recommended game in the genre.

I think I have only rated maybe one game on Steam before - but I'm here to rate Noxious Weeds. I remember playing the demo before it was released... From then until now, I have seen it come miles beyond where it started. It was always an interesting concept but there was definitely a bit of balancing and editing to do. But I still did really enjoy the game then and I'm enjoying it even more now! Frankly I think the "mostly positive" isn't a fair representation of the game itself... I'm excited to see how it continues to progress but I'm quite pleased with where it's at already! I hope it moves up in the "rating" world because it deserves it imo

This has a fun spin on the reverse bullet hell genre.
