Publisher Logoi Games released version 1.0 of Doloc Town on August 6, bringing the post-apocalyptic farming simulation to full release on PC via Steam. Developer RedSaw Games Studio, a China-based indie studio, began early access on May 8, 2025, and spent over a year adding four major content updates and fine improvements. The official version concludes the main story that had been told since early access began, and total main story playtime has grown from over 20 hours to over 30 hours. New content includes the Ruins of the Old City area with powerful enemies, new NPCs, side quests, town events, and friendship quests. The update also adds automation for farm management tasks, unlocks the main farm's largest final stage, and introduces two additional farming areas in different world regions. Japanese localization is now available in the official version, having previously been limited to a Steam beta branch on March 27. The game holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, with 95% of 1,933 user reviews positive at the time of writing. A 20% launch discount brings the price to 1,600 yen until August 19 Pacific Time.
Doloc Town combines Stardew Valley-style farming with exploration elements compared to Terraria and Fallout, set in a post-apocalyptic world where nature is reclaiming ruined civilization. Players cultivate crops, raise animals, and rebuild while exploring vegetation-covered wilderness with a customizable drone companion. The drone handles combat while the player focuses on movement and evasion, and defeated enemies drop parts used to customize the drone, with rarer parts dropping at low rates from stronger enemies.
The game features hand-drawn pixel art throughout, with a cute and chill aesthetic that contrasts with the harsh setting. Character interactions and affection levels trigger special events and quests. The official version adds Steam achievements, visual optimization, and usability improvements alongside the Japanese localization. Game Spark notes the game includes over 40 resource types, over 30 crop varieties with a gene system for improving them, fishing dependent on water area and weather, and animal husbandry. The two outlets report slightly different review counts at their respective writing times, with Automaton citing 1,933 reviews and Game Spark citing 1,942, both showing 95% positive ratings.
