Farming without a stamina bar

You plant seeds, water and harvest fruits, vegetables and flowers through all four seasons, with upgradeable tools and magic spells to help. There is no stamina bar to cut the day short, and you can adjust day length, weather and crop pests in the settings. You manage three different farms over time, each with its own crops, fruit trees and animals. You sell produce, cook meals and keep working at your own pace, calm and unhurried.

Cows, chickens and baby griffons

Alongside cows, chickens, sheep and pigs you can raise silk moths, baby griffons, phoenixes, werewolves and tar slimes. Barn animals need daily care, and pets and mounts can follow you around. Fishing gives you over 130 fish to sell, cook, donate to the museum or hand in for quests. Mining runs through unlockable floors with ore, gems and a chest every tenth floor, and crafting spans over 40 tables for cooking, smithing, furniture and alchemy.

Four towns, quests and dates

You travel between the medieval town of Sun Haven, the elven forests of Nel’Vari, the monster city of Withergate and the underwater Brinestone Deeps, each with its own items and recipes. Hundreds of characters fill these towns, with seasonal festivals and museum donations to work toward. There are 23 marriage candidates to befriend through gifts, dialogue, quests and dates, with marriage and the option of one child after you upgrade your house. You shape your character with seven races, ten starting professions and a large skill tree for farming, fishing, mining, exploration and combat, solo or in online multiplayer for up to 8.

What else should farming fans know?

How relaxed are the farm days?

Days run on an adjustable clock with no stamina bar, so you decide when planting, fishing, mining or questing ends. You can turn off crop pests and weather effects, make days longer, and auto-save means quitting does not waste a day. farming fans who like rote repetition without being rushed get a lot from this setup.

What do you actually raise and grow?

Crops, fruit trees and flowers change across four seasons and across three farms, each with its own plants and animals. Pets and mounts join you out in the world, which suits farming fans who like adorable companions trailing after chores.

Can you play it solo?

Yes. You can run all three farms, the mines, fishing, combat bosses and romance on your own, keeping your inventory and experience on one character. Online multiplayer for up to 8 shares a farm, and that same character carries over between solo and shared sessions.

How much fighting is there for a farming game?

A fair amount if you want it. You fight enemies across the four towns with swords, crossbows, staffs and spells, upgrade armor, eat food to raise stats, and test builds in a combat arena with several bosses. Or you can stay closer to home with crops, animals, cooking and decorating.
