    Like many others here, I bought and enjoyed the game months ago but thanks to Valve they auto-refunded the game without my consent. If they really want to buy my games back off me that badly they could have just asked. Sorry to the developer who now has to get stuck with tons of forced refund requests by Valve, hopefully it gets reversed soon since it is a fun little game that deserves the love. UPDATE: I had contacted Steam support 24 hours ago and despite not recieving a response back…

    Boring mobile game with tiresome grinds to keep you clicking buttons. I am shocked I wasn't asked to buy coins or something while playing. If you enjoy games you could play post lobotomy this is right up your alley.

    DO NOT BUY, game is bugged and you will only see the developer and publisher logo to be met with a black screen, it also looks like the community for this game knows about the problem and does its best to help people, but thats the job of Vile Monarch and Devolver Digital, the game should be delisted or at the very least have a warring to anyone who buys.

    This is.... okay. The gameplay loop is kind of boring and the controls are obviously meant for tablets or a Switch type controller. Get it on sale. If the product being grown were tomatoes far less people would buy this.

    I have played this game for a few hours now (not yet left the starting town). I like the idea of this crime simulator, but I have a few things with this game UI that are itching me too much to enjoy: - 1.5GB Download with 5GB reserved on the drive. What for? Most of the game is still images, maybe with the exception of the weed plants growing. This game needs to make a diet. - changing scenes (your grow rooms, the street) requires fiddling around with a few photos in the bottom left corner or…

    It a good game, but that actually makes it worse. It has a worse inventory management system than games created 40 years ago. And it is exponential. Every time i have to deal with it I die inside. The more things you get, and you need a large amount of variety, the slower it is to access each one, especially the new ones. That and action dialogue. 1/3 of your gameplay time is asking 5 different people to do the exact same thing. Now do that in 3 locations. Every few minutes.. Game design…

    Thanks to a "Steam-Bug" (Where they TRY to fix a BIG Problem in their Purchase/Cart System) Every Sold Copy from Weedcraft bought in Dec/Jan got Auto-Refunded the "Maybe" Reason is. included in this "Package" you bought was a "Removed movie" Inside, what Steam had no rights (anymore) to sell. Therefore, People got Auto-Refunded (Its automated via a Bot) IF you want your Game Back, Contact Steam-Support! Normal you get the Game back (but not that Movie)

    I just do not find this fun; not in an RP way, not in a resource management way, not in an idle game way, not in any way, it's just not fun ... and since it's also not educational or otherwise skill building, that leaves it as a waste of my time to continue playing. 3 hours at time of review, and 3 hours it will remain forever.

    Game taught me to "buy cheap, sell high", but steam refunded it for the same money I spent on it. Bummer! (I did not request a refund - don't know why Steam did this.) Game itself is okay if you like to click a lot, but less than okay if you expect a business/management sim.

    Fun game until you get overburdened by the clicking micro-management game-play as your operation grows. If only they could have managed the game mechanics better so that you're not clicking your fingers off with tedium tasks then I would've recommended the game to others. As it stands, the concepts are cool it's just that too many of them are overly repetitive in a short amount of time such as maintaining relationships and bouncing back & forth between buildings and maps. I think they…

    ideal cozy game with lots to look at and do, adjusting prices and altering strains to get the best outcome is a fun learning curve. the artwork and music is perfect. good humour and will meet any OCD requirements, ie making sure everything is done, looked at, ticked off, new things managed and employee management. i find it relaxing to play and you can alter the speed of the game and can pause to think things through when it all gets a bit much. 8 hours in so far and im loving this. Enjoy !

    It's a clicker... It's a chill game with a tremendously good OST fitting the game PERFECTLY. The campaign mode is good and various missions allow the player to not get bored (again, it's mainly a tycoon clicker, beware!) and a chill mode with almost no challenges is integrated as well. Wanna turn the brain off and light up one while clickin'? Just get this game a chance... You'll like it! Where did I put my lighter again...?

    Game is boring, you have to maintain everything yourself and it's not fun. Waiting for bar to fill and click or click and hold for 3 sec, over and over and over again. When it gets a little bit funnier with competition and all, it's ruined, because you're clicking too well and you'll rid of competition quickly or you don't click enough and you don't have anything to sell. It's like mobile or old browser game.

    it's boring honestly. it takes too long, the game sets you up to fail early on. I played for about an hour. saved and googled some stuff. then you can over buy space, then plants over heat. progression is locked. there was nothing I could do. then my plants stopped growing. period. turns out it's an unfixed bug. research doesn't make sense. too much 4 second trimming on every plant multiple times. also the music is annoying. nice bass though. 1/10

    Weedcraft Inc: A Perfectly Balanced Blend of Strategy and Fun Weedcraft Inc is an incredible example of how a well-designed game can combine depth, balance, and fun into a single, cohesive experience. From the very beginning, I was captivated by how smoothly everything ties together, never leaving me bored or under-stimulated.

    Not only is this one of the most boring, tedious, and repetitive games I've ever played, I've used this game as a great example of what not to do when making a game. There are a few interesting ideas, like custom strains and their requirements, but ultimately I've played more engaging, free, idle mobile clickers. The saying is "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle" but with this game, "wide as a puddle and as deep as one" is accurate. Don't waste your money, even on sale.

    More addictive than I thought. Music is chill if you don't play it straight for 7 hours ( you start to hear it when you're not playing as well). I made a little research and most of the strains in the game were real strains (educative.. I think?) Thought that was a good detail. I loved the graphics. (especially the smell coming out when the weed is grown enough) Got it on the sale, it was more than worth it.

    Weedcraft is NOT a strategy/simulation game like the description or the tags seems to imply. It is more of a basic idle/incremental game like Cookie Clicker. Honestly I don't think it's worth the price even on sale. 1) many games in this genre including Cookie Clicker itself are free 2) this game doesn't have much depth compared to other (free!) games in the genre, making it a very boring grind 3) the UI is very unintuitive, it feels very unpolished and frustrating The graphic and music is…

    It's a good game with a great art style that touches on a range of social topics with it's stories centered mostly around cannabis and it's public perception. I DO NOT recommend buying it on Steam however as there is some sort of issue with the game causing Steam to auto-refund people's purchases which is incredibly annoying to say the least. I recommend GOG as an alternative platform to pick up this great game.

    An amazing little game, I've spent way more time in it than i imagined i would. Would honestly love to see a DLC for the game with more story scenarios. Pro tip, if the game sits on a black screen when it loads, just let it sit for a while, it will load into the main menu eventually.

    There's plenty of positive reviews telling why this game is good and I won't go into that. Instead I'll tell you what will disappoint you if you don't know what you're in for. While it's not the most in-depth manager game, there's plenty of things to do. Unfortunately the UI doesn't help with keeping track of these things. Screen space is not well used and you have to click around, and I still sometimes find myself lost in the simplest buy action after 30 hours because it works so…

Can create your own custom game using yourself as the main character, and it also has a 'chill mode' which makes the game easy and relaxed so you can learn it properly.

It's also really cool that I can breed my own strains and create new plants with traits unseen on the market. (Not that it's a good trait even) I really enjoy the casual aspect of the game. It feels like if a mobile game got really developed and had a ton of options built into it. The manual care of the plants does get phased out by having…

The part that really interests me is the science of growing—experimenting with strains, improving plants, and managing the production side of things.

There a lot of strains with different growing conditions, temperature, humidity, NPK ratios and a lot of different soil substrates, growing lamps, etc. Each strain has different attributes like flavor and effects which dictate buyers preference. They are based on real strains (same name) and you can hybridize strains. You have to do market segmentation and deal with the competition by improving…
