Angry Farmer - Lets do some PVP RTS trolling! (Kickstarter)

Classed as the first "troll" social farm game with full pvp, comes a game where you compete against another player in a crazy farming experience. This is Angry Farmers, by developers MadSword. But as you can probably tell by the cover shot, this is no ordinary farming game. Farming collides with fast paced combat and dynamic battles, through the use of strategy and skill experimentation. What also makes this game unique, according to the developers, is unlike other "social" games which you play all by yourself and visit your friends only once per day, in Angry Farmer you can play with your buddies all day long. The colourful design really stands out and add that to the simplicity of the game, it could be a lot of fun!
