Can you learn to live off the land and turn these overgrown fields into a thriving home? It won’t be easy. Ever since Joja Corporation came to town, the old ways of life have all but disappeared. The community center, once the town’s most vibrant hub of activity, now lies in shambles. But the valley seems full of opportunity. With a little dedication, you might just be the one to restore Stardew Valley to greatness!* Turn your overgrown field into a lively farm! Raise animals, grow crops, start an orchard, craft useful machines, and more! You’ll have plenty of space to create the farm of your dreams.* Customize the appearance of your character and house. With hundreds of decorative items to choose from, you’ll have no trouble creating the home of your dreams!* Improve your skills over time.

With over 30 unique characters living in Stardew Valley, you won’t have a problem finding new friends! Each person has their own daily schedule, birthday, unique mini-cutscenes, and new things to say throughout the week and year.

As you travel deeper underground, you’ll encounter new and dangerous monsters, powerful weapons, new environments, valuable gemstones, raw materials for crafting and upgrading tools, and mysteries to be uncovered.* Help restore Stardew Valley to it’s former glory by repairing the old community center, or take the alternate route and join forces with Joja Corporation.* Court and marry a partner to share your life on the farm with. There are 10 available bachelors and bachelorettes to woo, each with unique character progression cutscenes. Once married, your partner will live on the farm with you.

*Updated 2/05/17* Fixed!

This is a fantastic game, clearly made in the vein of Harvest Moon. I would say it's even better, having a broader scope (moster-filled dungeon) and a smoother interface. Fortunately, it's no longer broken! The patch seems to have resolved the loading issue, at the cost of a slightly longer save time. If you were holding off on this game, wait no more.

Great Game But Costly Glitches

The game itself is amazing. It's generally laid back but highly addictive, making it easy to put hours of game play into. Which is why the two major bugs I've encountered are so costly. First of all, my first saved game cannot currently be accessed. Every time I try to load it, it takes me back to the start screen. I eventually started a new game, and have yet to encounter that same problem, but I've still tried to load my old game and after amonth there's still no fix. The second big problem has to do with occasional crashing. After playing through each day on the game, you save by going to bed. On multiple occaisions the game has crashed during the saving process, and I'm forced to replay that day. There's also a ton of non-crucial, annoying, bugs in the game. Perhaps the worst part isn't the glitches, but the fact that they have yet to fix any of them. Easily a 'five-star' game once it's fixed though.

Simply perfect.

This game is simply phenomenal. My best gaming memories come from the SNES and this game really reaches in and appeals to that time period. This reminds me of Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Soulblazer, Secret of Evermore, with the growth and development of a Harvest Moon/Animal Crossing game. This game has more heart and soul than the soulless cash-grabbing shlock of AAA devs and publishers. Thank you ConcernedApe for this masterpiece. Everything about this game is relaxing and soothing, from the beautiful art style, to the dulcet tones of the exemplary soundtrack. For the price the game is a steal, I'd have been happy paying way more for this game because the value is there for sure. The support has been fantastic as well, there were some launch issues but they have been ironed out fairly quickly and I appreciate the attentiveness.

Wonderful!

Has a bug or two, but at most you lose one day (aprox 15 min real time). A must try for anyone who likes to play to relax. That said, the game is also engaging as u always want to see one more 'day'.

A nice escape

Engaging & addicting. A couple of crashes, but the daily save mechanism makes it so you don't lose much. Well worth the cost.

Masterpiece

A game crafted by someone with immense appreciation for the games that inspired it, ie Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing. But with the gorgeous pixel art, and outstanding attention to detail across the board, ConcernedApe has created an experience that more than deserves a place among the classics. Its charming, overflowing with content, and for $15 offers more than most games out today.

Great Game with some problems.

I like how this game reminds me of harvest moon, but it has some issues with the curser for selecting items. Also the Game hub is broken, showing stats incorrectly.

Great game!

Super addictive. There is basically always progression in the game, which keeps you playing the game. I've spent so much time saying, just one more day and i'll have that thing or ill uprade that. Very nice game, good graphics. Pretty much like Harvest Moon, but in my opinion its better! Definetly would recommend.

Love the game.. too bad I can't play it!!

I love the whole concept of the game as it is very reminiscent of Harvest Moon, with the 8 bit-style graphics, farming, mining, fishing, and doing quests or missions for the townsfolk. GREAT FUN!!Unfortunately my game-play came to an end when I could no longer load my saved game. Problem has already been fixed for PS4, why does XBOX have to wait until Feb 1? That's ridiculous!
