Co-op party game Planted announced for Nintendo Switch

Today, publisher Curveball Games and developer Cloth Cat Games revealed their new game Planted. It’s coming to Nintendo Switch in the future.

Planted is a co-op party game that supports up to four players. Players will sow, grow, and throw produce at goals (and each other) in arena battles as they attempt to rack up points to beat out their opponents.

Additional information can be found in the following rundown:

Part harvest sim, part sports game, and 100% cultivated chaos, Planted challenges players to take on their friends in arena combat where they will need to strategically plan their produce production for success. Will they utilise fertiliser to grow colossal crops for more points, will they steal their opponents offerings, or will they use powerups to propel themselves to victory? Only thyme will tell.

Planted offers several flavours of gameplay, with players able to jump into the multiplayer both sat on the couch locally and online with their friends (or foes), crossplay between both PC and consoles, and for players wanting to pull on their wellies, grab their spade, and hit the allotment solo, Planted! also offers a carefully grown single player campaign, set in the cutthroat world of competitive gardening.

Key Features

• Something for Everyone – Play with up to four friends in co-op chaos, or take to the gardens of Planted solo in the cutthroat world of horticultural combat.

Ed Gregory, senior publishing manager at Curveball Games, said today: “We are thrilled to showcase Planted! for the very first time. When Cloth Cat told us about their horticultural combat party game packed to the brim with character and playful ideas, we were sold, instantly, and we hope players are too!”

Creative producer Ben Cawthorne added: “Planted has been a background passion project for the Cloth Cat team for the last 5 years, and we are beyond excited that the game we weren’t able to stop thinking about has now become a reality. We have lots more to dig into, but hope this first look gets players excited at the prospect of combat gardening with their friends!”
