Stardew Valley in Space! I was already sold! Except... This game is good and worth your time, especially if you're a casual Stardew player or a Animal Crossing fiend. The main issue in this game is grind - the days are too short to accomplish what you want while also tending the farm, and the automation abilities don't do enough to offset this. This is a very long term game to spend time playing if you want to 100% it, and not all that time spent feels great. The good: Characters are well written and progress based on your relationship. Quest system is great. UI is wonderful. Inventory management has a few rough bits that you'll learn to work around quickly, but mostly great. General vibe is excellent, and the worlds you visit have enough flavor that you won't mind how repetitive the gameplay is too much. The bad - the devil is in the details: Exploring the planets is ok at first and then never improves. Shoot any baddies near you, then rocks, pick up things, then dig until you find the ladder to the next level. It's Stardew's cave system at its worst and most basic, with nothing but basic upgrades to the damage done by your main weapon. You do get a charge up shot, which is basically worthless except for mowing the lawn for fodder. Other upgrades are in the same line as Stardew, with holding the button spending more stamina for more impact. Travel time between planets is three days - which is fine the first go around, because you have things to do on the ship to keep you busy. By the time the game asks you to do a second go-around after the main mission, this travel time is painfully long. There's at least a way to purchase meteorites at the end of the game to speed along relic gathering. Relationships are a bit of a grind, but once the farm is going, you just give everybody jam or fabric and stop trying to match gifts to people. There's too many people with too long of a morale bar. The ship computer and your pet should have short friendship bars, and then the romanceable characters should have longer friendship bars to fill with more events outside of dates. The fishing minigame is microbe hunting, and not only is it critical to 100% the game, it's boring, repetitive, and honestly a little too difficult for a chill game unless you turn on a setting in the options menu. Upgrades to your fishing equipment doesn't make anything easier or faster - it just allows more mistakes. You will play the boring circle minigame 300 times if you want to complete the bar for them. Everything else is good if not great. Despite the complaints I have above, I think this game is an B+, but needs work to hit an A.

To start, I wish I could give this game a neutral recommendation. It's not a good good game, but it's not a bad game. It's a neutral-good game. I played it, I had fun, I liked it, but I have gripes lol Some good points: 1. I like the concept of the game: a cozy farming game set in space and you travel to other planets. That's neat, nouveau, fun. And travelling to other planets for the different seed varieties is a cool mechanic, essentially allowing you to "change the season" in terms of seed variety at will. 2. I didn't feel rushed to do anything. So many games these days place a sense of urgency on the main quest, but this one they're like "We've been orbiting the gray planet for a while now, we're okay, but bored of it" which is great to me! I'm totally fine with just chilling, I much prefer to take things slowly and absorb the atmosphere of a game. High key a great thing for me, especially concerning how long it takes for some things. 3. The bonuses you get as you raise up the captain rank is such a windfall! Or after donating so much to the museum too. I really appreciated that 4. I wasn't punished for staying up late or getting tanked by mobs. Except for a slight stamina hit, nothing was lost, which thank The Light was so good. It reminded me of My Time at Portia. I kinda wish the game told me how many times I had to be carried to the medical bay like in MTaP lol The points I wasn't fond of: 1. I can't marry Kaida. Honestly a crime in my book. 😭 I get it the main character is a spry 21 year old, and so are all the romanceables, but another game gatekeeping the ship mommy? Damn.. 2. The economic (and other) grind. Holy cow that got pretty tedious fast. I spent 2 quarters in the game growing corn bc it had the best price-per-day for me, and even then it helped only so far. Crops don't give a lot of money, and everything costs a lot. I looked at the money I earned at the end of the game, and I had 20k in my pocket, and earned a total of like 230k. Wild. That and everything costs a good amount of resources if you want to be able to finally be successful was tedious too. I felt like I couldn't spend money on extra stuff for my character such as decorations bc I needed so much for everything else, esp when I got tired of grinding and decided to just buy certain things to help speed the process along. 3. The artifact/gem grind was the worst tho, imo. High key I really didn't like it. I naturally found all of them for the first 3 planets somehow, but by the end I had to use spooksies shop (which was quite expensive) to get the last 2-3 planets worth of gems bc the drop rate is way too low. Way too low. A 10th of a percentage? Whew, lad. Esp since there are 5 of each per planet. 4. This is a small gripe bc I understand the reason why not, but I did find I missed the seasons. There was no change except on planet-side between the quarters. Except 1 had valentine's day, and another new years day. But on a climate controlled spaceship there would be no weather effects lol. But the planets were okay in variety. A hot desert. A hot lava planet. A water planet. A frozen water planet. It's like, "oh. okay." I get it, I just found I missed a sort of variety. There's no autumn planet (makes sense), and the spring planet is end-game. Overall, the game was fun, but it felt like a very slow grind at times. There were other things I liked about the game, and other things I didn't. But I feel like this list is long enough lol

It is... different! - slow paced - progressive grinding - quite repetitious - sweet pixel art - but relaxing too The Devs believed in "copy n paste" when it come to the "chapter" design. "Credits" is all you get when finishing quests (most of the time) Wouldn't buy it for 20 bucks - just wait until it's on discount for 5 bucks again!

If you want to play a realistic farming-sim, you play "Farming Simulator 20XX" If you want to play a farming-sim with a bit of fantasy, you play "Stardew Valley" If you want to play a prehistoric farming-sim, you play "Roots of Pacha" If you want to play a faming-sim in space, you play "Little-Known Galaxy"

Like alot of ppl already stated, like Stardew Valley but then in space. While this is true in some extend, in practice this all comes down to get a solid source of income $$, so u want to plant alot of crops and maintain that and automate that mid-to lateron (talking 50 stations + here). So u A: get money in profit, for upgrades and all that even resource buying if in shortage. B: develop food more then just plucked from it's station for repleneshing energy and this is key to efficiency, there are alot of options to develop food furtheron using different methods, from pressing to freezing. Why? well shooting critters while exploring is needed and also breaking stones, digging all that requires energy so if u have a good pool of goods, - only time will be your enemy once well supplied and have a good incoming supply, plan things ahead and well atleast i am having a great time playing this game. i hope u do too! it's adorable, well optimized, story is charming.
