![]() ![]() This MIGHT be because my computer isn't exactly top-of the line, but some of the animations (particularly things like chopping wood / mining ore) seem a little.stiff.ģ) NPCs. That said, the animations seem to play a little smoother in SV. Overall, I think I prefer the animation *style* in SH. I like how things pop/vibrate/whatever when interacted with. I love the "sprouts" when watering plants showing you it's "doing" something. I actually really like how SH does a lot of the animations. Stylistic preference here, but I kinda prefer SV's character sprites to the "big head" style SH uses.Ģ) Animations. Also, I ADORE the idea that your species might affect your stats/progress/relationships/etc in the game, but if it does, it's unobvious to the point I can't tell. SH has several your appearance options for each are.pretty limited. SV has more color options for eyes/hair and a bazillion different shirts. Character/appearance options are WIDER, but less DEEP. So I've been trying to take mental inventory of how this game stacks up to SV how it does or doesn't deliver on my hope of "Stardew Valley - but MORE".ġ) Character Options. Some things are nearly identical ("repair this bridge for XX wood?"). All stuff we love.Īnd this game *is* very similar to Stardew. The fact that this one is very similar but seems to have a larger world and more fantasy aspects sounds, on paper, to be win-win-win. ![]() My wife also really likes that game, and we like to play co-op games together. I would buy another version of Stardew that just swapped the map and the npcs for new ones. I'll start out by saying I LOVE Stardew Valley. So I've played this game for almost 30 hours, and while there's more I can *do*, From what I can tell, I've seen most of what this game has to offer in its present form on one solid play-through + a few shorter forays. I'm going to go ahead a recommend this, even though I'm going to have some caveats. If you enjoy chill games, you'll LOVE this one. As for the towns, either make it stacked like it is walking around or at least indicate which segment is "below" which. Could be fixed by making the player dot either larger, a different color, or possibly customizable. The player dot is itty-bitty and especially in the fantasy towns it can be hard to understand what part of the map is where. There's also pretty much only straight or wavy hair, no curly, afro, braided, or dread-like hairstyles. There's a very limited selection of hairstyles and they're all anime protag-esc, so good luck if you want a basic hairstyle. My biggest complaints about this game are: And I'm not sure if its just because the game is in early access or if its intended for the final game, but I for one really appreciate the fact that you can romance multiple characters at once: a lot of them are fun options AND they all have cute new sprites for each season! And even the characters I personally don't like, I can see why someone else would. There's 15 romance options, some of which are only available after unlocking the other towns. There's a surprisingly large world to play in, too! You don't get the whole world right away and have to do quests to unlock your second and third farm, which are in fantasy towns with whole new wonderful settings, but I was able to get both of them in my first spring so it's not a huge roadblock in gameplay. Not only that, but NO STAMINA BAR! Keep farming, mining, and fighting to your hearts' content! - While we're at it, the game also auto-saves, so you don't have to sleep away the day to save and quit, you can just quit when you're done. In Sun Haven, you get to be a fantasy race (if you want), magic, mana, and a skill tree with so many options it would be difficult to play the same way twice. But that's basically where the similarities end. The first instinct many people will have is compare this to Stardew Valley, because you play as a farmer who moves to a small town where some of the NPCs are romanceable. ![]()
