Evaluation

Pesticide Not Required: Prologue was a free promotional prologue released on January 5, 2024 by Jampacked Games. On January 24, 2024, the developer announced that the prologue would be concluding on January 29, 2024, to be replaced by a demo on the main game's Steam page. This was always a temporary, intentionally limited preview — explicitly described as containing only a portion of the full game's content. The prologue is no longer available for purchase or download, consistent with the developer's announced plan to retire it. The full game, Pesticide Not Required (Steam App ID: 2479320), was the intended destination for players.

About this game

The free prologue for Pesticide Not Required, a game that combines auto-attacking bullet heaven roguelites with farming game mechanics to create an expansive set of strategies and build combinations. Destroy huge hordes of evil insects, grow tons of crops, create your own build path, and unlock unique characters to play with!

This prologue version contains similar mechanics to the main game, but has less achievements, progression unlocks, unlockable characters, weapons, maps, and enemy varieties.

Create Overpowered Builds

You are the bullet hell! Grow an arsenal of ridiculous weapons and craft your own unique build with a combination of 40+ stats. Additionally, each character has their own unique traits that keep runs fresh.

Farm, Fish, and Mine

Earn vital gold and experience from growing crops, catching fish, and mining. Expand your plot to harvest huge quantities of crops and build carefully to enhance your farming, fishing, and mining capabilities.
