Ever since FarmVille has been a hit on Facebook, there have been dozens and dozens of farming simulations released on browsers and also on mobile devices. In Pot Farm – Grass Roots, you and your fellow pot farmers form your own country where it is legal to produce pot and consume it to your likings. If you enjoy playing farm simulation games such as FarmVille and you would like to grow different types of weed, then you will enjoy Pot Farm – Grass Roots. The game has been developed and successfully released by game developer East Side Games Studio and it has been critically acclaimed. Pot Farm – Grass Roots has been downloaded over a million times in 2016 with a whopping rating of 4.3 out of 5 on Google Play Store.
The gameplay of Pot Farm – Grass Roots starts with a small tutorial which teaches you the basics of the game. You will learn the story behind the game, why you are now the owner of a pot farm and why you are producing pot. Your guide will teach you how to produce homegrown weed and sell it to your first customer. After that you will also learn how to produce different strings of weed and how to construct buildings on your farm. After the tutorial ends, you are on your own. The goal of this game is to produce good weed in your house and sell them to your customers, making a lot of money in the meanwhile.
There are no different kind of levels in Pot Farm – Grass Roots. You only have your own farm and the crops you produce on it and your buildings. The gold coins which you earn by selling your weed can be used to purchase different kind of things in the in-game store. Before you are able to plant a string of weed, you will need to purchase them with gold coins. For example, you can also purchase and construct different kinds of buildings on your farm which will help you with storing more weed etc. You can also purchase better machines to help grow better weed so you can sell them at a higher price. If your farm land has become too small, you can expand by purchasing plots of lands neighboring your farm.
Pot Farm-Grass Roots is a very unique game, but as with most games, there are quite a few items you need, which often require real purchases through the app store. In this game, you need a lot of coins and pot bucks, which are available in the app store, but since it costs real money, it can be a hassle and get expensive.

Pot Farm – Grass Roots In-game store
There are two types of currencies in Pot Farm – Grass Roots. The first currency is in the form of gold coins and is easily obtainable by simply playing the game and selling your pot. The second currency is called Potbucks, which is the premium currency of this game and is almost impossible to obtain by playing the game.
You will need to purchase seeds to be able to grown pot in your house, which you can purchase with gold coins, but you easily earn that back by selling the pot which you produce. Potbucks are used for more serious purchases in the in-game store and are not purchasable with gold coins. There is also a specialty item called Guano, which you can use to instantly grown your crops. Guano is only purchasable with potbucks, so you will need to purchase potbucks with real money first in order to be able to purchase more guano.
You can only purchase potbucks with real money. The rest of the items are only purchasable with potbucks. The price for potbucks start at $4,99 for the smallest amount of 200 potbucks and runs up till $49,99 for the largest amount of 3000 potbucks. You can purchase gold coins starting at 10 potbucks for the smallest amount of 1000 gold coins up till 199 potbucks for the largest amount of 50.000 gold coins. You can also purchase guano starting at 3 potbucks for 1 bag of guano up till 499 potbucks for the largest amount of 250 bags of guano.
If you wish to have a good start in Pot Farm – Grass Roots, you can purchase a starter pack which consists of one hundred potbucks and guano and one thousand gold coins. The price for the starter pack is $1,99. There are also several specialty items around the game which are only purchasable with real money, but there are too many to list here so you will have to check them out yourselves.
If you do not wish to spend real money on Pot Farm – Grass Roots, you can also earn some free potbucks by watching an advertisement video. The video usually takes up to thirty seconds, and when you completely watch it you will receive anything between one to three potbucks.
There are many websites on the internet that claim they have a working cheat tool for Pot Farm – Grass Roots. By using the cheat tool, you can allegedly get unlimited amounts of gold coins and potbucks. Most, if not all of the websites that offer cheat tools are scams that are only designed to earn money off of unknowing people. The trick is that people need to fill in a survey before they are able to even download the alleged cheat tool, and this is how the scam cheat websites makes money. If you look carefully, you will notice that the websites are designed to look professional so that people will feel comfortable downloading something from it.
For the sake of this review, I decided to try out one of the cheat tools for Pot Farm – Grass Roots. I went to one of the websites that claimed they have a cheat tool for this game and clicked on the download button. I got redirected to a shady looking download website and I clicked on the download button again. A pop-up showed up telling me I had to fill in a survey before I can start downloading the program. After I completed the survey, my download started and I unpacked the RAR folder. There was nothing in it but some bookmark links to several other cheat websites. I got duped like many other people. Instead of looking for cheats for Pot Farm – Grass Roots, I will give you some tips and tricks which you can use in your gameplay.
You can always try to use the time lapse cheat if you really want to have a big advantage in the game. The time lapse cheat entails that you trick the game into believing that several hours have passed by forwarding to the time of your device. So for example, if you are waiting for five plants to grow, and a building to be constructed, which both take three more hours, you can close the game and forward the time of your device with three hours. If you start the game back up, it may think that several hours have really passed and your crops are fully grown and your building has been constructed.
Using this cheat will make you rich very fast, but it is not guaranteed that it will work at all. Developers usually implement server checks that check the time on your device with the one logged in the server, and if it doesn’t match, you can be banned from playing the game. Using this cheat is at your own risk.
Potbucks can be very expensive to purchase and if you do not want to spend any money on this game, you can always watch free video advertisements which will reward you with several potbucks at a time. You can save the potbucks and purchase nice things with them, which will make it way easier for you to run your pot farm.
You can always play with your friends and visit their farms. Having friends in Pot Farm – Grass Roots will allow you to sell your pot to them and purchase pot from them. This has an advantage that you will be able to make money faster than selling your pot to the NPCs. The only downside is that there is no friends list implemented into Pot Farm – Grass Roots, so you will have to look the names of your friends up before you can purchase anything from them.
I really like the fact that Pot Farm – Grass Roots has a nice little story at the beginning of your gameplay, which tells you why you are doing what you are doing. Having a story helps players live with the characters of the game and it also adds some degree of excitement to the game. The gameplay itself starts off with a nicely build tutorial, which shows you the basics of running a pot operation. I think it is very nice that a simulator game such as Pot Farm – Grass Roots has a tutorial because of the fact that a lot of casual mobile gamers can become confused on what to do when they are not shown how to play the game properly.
The developers did a good job in implementing a controversial theme such as pot farms into the game and make it very entertaining to play. One of the things I really liked about the graphics is that every object in the game is really detailed out. The characters in the game itself have idle animations, which makes the game livelier in my opinion.
Another very positive aspect about Pot Farm – Grass Roots is the fact that the game does not have any advertisements implemented in it. This means that you will not see any annoying banners or obstructive pop-ups while you are playing the game. It is very understandable that developers of free-to-play games implement advertisements into their games because they need to make money as well, but having no ads is of course much better for the players.
The first negative aspect I experienced in Pot Farm – Grass Roots is that the waiting times for growing plants and building construction can run up to several hours, even a full day in late game. This means that players are getting very limited play time because of the fact that there is not much to do but wait for your crops to grown and for your buildings to be constructed. You can of course use specific items to speed things along but these cost a pretty penny. It makes the game feel like a cash grab, where the developers want to hook the players up to the gameplay and after that ask them for money to continue playing.
Artwork: I give Pot Farm – Grass Roots an 8/10 for its artwork. The graphics and animations in Pot Farm – Grass Roots are very cartoonish and it really fits the overall theme of the game. You do not need high end graphics for a farm simulator mobile game and the developers know this. I like the fact that there are many types of crops you can grow and many types of buildings you can construct, which means that the developer needed to spend time detailing them out. It is a nice touch that you can look around on your farm and even expand it if you wish. The characters on your farm also have idle animations which makes the farm feel livelier.
Music & SFX: I give Pot Farm – Grass Roots an 8/10 for its music and SFX. I like the fact that there are several soundtracks in Pot Farm – Grass Roots. Having good soundtracks in the game helps players be less bored while they are playing the game itself, while it also makes them less bothered due to the fact that they do not have to listen to the same soundtrack over and over again. There are many sound effects implemented in the game which makes the game feel livelier. I believe that the developers did a good job with the sounds in this game because both the soundtracks and the sound effects fit each other very well.
Story & Originality: I give Pot Farm – Grass Roots an 8/10 for its story and originality. There are many farm simulator games out on the app stores, so Pot Farm – Grass Roots is by far not original at all in that regarding. There aren’t however any weed producing farm simulators out, which makes Pot Farm – Grass Roots a very original game for 2016 in my eyes. The game also has a nice story at the beginning of the gameplay, showing you how you ended up with a pot farm and why you are doing what you are doing. It is very important to have a story in a game because of the fact that it gives players more imagination and they live with the characters.
General Gameplay: I give Pot Farm – Grass Roots an 8/10 for general gameplay. There is a tutorial at the beginning of the gameplay in Pot Farm – Grass Roots which teaches you the basics of the game and allows you to learn how to properly play the game. I think it is nice when feature-rich games such as Pot Farm – Grass Roots have a nicely build tutorial implemented in it so that even casual gamers will understand how to play the game. After the tutorial ends, the gameplay becomes pretty straightforward but still every entertaining to play because of all the features you can explore. The controls in this game are responsive and smooth, the user interface is clear and right from the start you will know what to do.
Addictiveness: I give Pot Farm – Grass Roots a 7/10 for addictiveness. The fact that this game does not have any energy bars or lives simply adds to the addictiveness of the game but it is very unfortunate that there are very long waiting times. At the beginning of the gameplay, your crops will grow fast and you will be able to construct buildings quickly, but after you have unlocked more things in the game, it will take a much longer time to be able to grow those crops and construct those buildings. You can use special items to instantly grow crops and construct buildings, but these cost real money and if you cannot afford to spend real money on a free-to-play game, you will have to be really patient.
All things considered, I give Pot Farm – Grass Roots an 8/10.
