Welcome to Elderfield

I'm sure I didn't give this a "fair try," but first impressions mean a lot and my first impression is this was made by someone who really misses high school. The artwork seemed cool so I grabbed it but once I booted the game something just put me off pretty quick.

Very fun so far! Perfect "Halloween-themed" farming sim. It has its issues, but nothing worth quitting the game over. I'm having trouble with the options not staying the same, I tweak the audio and control mapping but every time I quit the game, when I launch it again the options are back to default. But other than that, I've had no bugs or issues. The combat could use a minor tweak, but they do let you putz around with the game settings. Normal is pretty punishing, which I'm not totally against, but easy trivializes combat so much that it turns it into an annoyance rather than a fight. Thankfully, there are shrines in each area that you can use to enhance the enemies so if you're blasting through everyone in one hit on easy you can use the shrines to bump up the difficulty without going to normal. There is a little bit of a grind to this game. I played Fields of Mistria for like 60 hours and finished the story by Year 2. I've put 15 hours into this game (as of this review) and haven't even finished the first month. There's a ton to do! I do worry a little bit that some of the anomalies and mysteries will get old quickly, but I can't definitively claim that because I don't know if they change up for each season. Seems like a game well suited to having more added in the future as updates, if the developer sees fit to do so. I know it seems like I didn't like this game because I only mentioned the stuff I didn't like, but there's a lot to love here! It has what all great farming sims have: the realization that it's 11pm and I need to go to bed, but there's always just ooonnneee tiny thing I can do first. "Sure, bedtime. But let me just smelt a few more iron. Now let me just go turn in this task. OK, OK, sleep soon, but let me go check out this anomaly. Oh! It's Sunday! I can switch the god I'm worshipping out and go check out the door that was locked unless you were worshipping a different god--shouldn't take that long. Yikes, it's getting late, I should really quit, but the Library's interior randomized again so I'll go take a quick peek at it first." Then I look at the clock and it's 2:40am. Oops. All in all, I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far. I'll come back and update this review after I get a little further along!

1自己能制作的装备属性相当一般，但是不看攻略又不知道去哪刷属性契合的装备；2数值脚填，一进入中后期就被无穷无尽的浇水，收集，采矿吞没，收集采矿随机触发的垃圾遭遇战，加剧了这种无聊感；3战斗没有什么深度，战斗是主要玩法，但是其实没有什么深度，随机出怪，怪物随机出招，导致几乎不存在什么针对性的配装，就是那一套技能用到死，但是怪物后期数值膨胀严重，玩家又找不到强力的装备，很无助

Stardew valley in nightvale

玩起来挺上头的种田游戏。视觉效果和各种诡异的事件塑造出了诡异而恐怖氛围。不会有什么突然出现的跳吓，靠近危险时还会用“有什么东西在暗处盯着你”之类的话来提醒。小镇生活有种诡异的平和感。 RPG战斗好玩，我一直都挺喜欢这种战斗方式的。有充足的思考时间，不需要什么实时的反应和战斗技巧。战斗难度还可以随时自由选择调整。我选择的是最简单的难度，就这样从来都没有死过。如果你觉得自己变得强大了，区域里的怪太简单，还可以献上战斗献祭来增加这块区域中敌人的难度。 游戏内有超级多方便快捷的功能设计。随时可以在床边存档。还有维基页面，虽然里面的内容看起来内容还在完善，但是边玩边查也帮了我很多的忙。游戏主界面的左上角就有维基网站的链接。就拿种田来说吧。只要你的背包里有必要的工具，就可以直接干活。不需要在物品栏中一次次的切换工具。而且一格田的活干完之后，它会自动给你切换选中到下一格田，人物周围9格田地会依次切换。甚至都不需要很多次移动。 主要储物箱也是非常方便的存在。如果背包已满，那么收集的物品就会自动存入储物箱。这个储物箱的空间是无限的，在制作物品的时候，也不需要把东西从储物箱里拿出来。主要储物箱在家里、农场里、教堂里等地都可以随时打开取用，是互联互通的。不过像宝石、鱼和苦菜之类的东西，背包满了还是放不进的。背包格可以慢慢地拓展，杂货店那边买50一个，数量有限，但是不会涨价。在做任务的过程中，也会收到一些背包格。 50一个的背包格不算贵。游戏里来钱挺快，随时都可以把东西卖给各种商人。不卖菜也能赚到很多钱。钓鱼也很简单。整个小镇里有非常多的资源可以收集，每星期可以通过洗澡刷新一次资源。每天种完地就骑车出去溜达，探探电视新闻里报道的异常事件。我可是过了一整个星期，才把全小镇探索得七七八八，还有一些地方没有深入探索呢。像各种垃圾桶啊，小包裹这些打开来都有概率拿到资源。商场里的ATM机柜台之类的地方还能捡到装备。通过扔骰子来随机获取的资源，有运气加成会更容易获得好东西。清理田地的净化膏，光是靠捡垃圾就积累了一大堆。钱袋、饵料箱、食物之类的好东西也经常能从垃圾堆里翻出来。 学会传送回家之后，探索完直接传送回家，可省事了。家的位置挺好，虽然不是小镇中心，但也是四通八达。往西走是农场和小矿场、往东走是可以打怪挖矿的商场、北边是广阔的小镇。家门口附近也经常油人在晃悠，我要是刚好出门看到他们了，不是很急的话我都会回家拿个好礼物送他们。送过的礼物还会有喜恶记录。 熬夜一天也不会有什么影响，但是再往后熬就要吃减益了。所以我为了努力建设古原镇，48小时中就睡6个多小时。不管睡不睡觉，每天0点准时结算。作物生长，月相变幻。 [quote]关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42276832//]鸿源鉴游组」 [/url] [/quote] [u][b] 会当逢佳游，始可见鸿源。 [/b][/u]

Obsessed. Absolutely obsessed with this project and it's most likely going to be my game of the year. I've always wanted a farm sim horror game. But like, creepy horror. Disturbing. And this gave me everything I ever wanted and more. This is the type of game I wanted without even realizing it. On the surface, many people think "oh it's a spooky Stardew game!". Which is also what I thought originally. But once you dive into it, you realize just how much more there is to discover. This game does not hold your hand. It can be very challenging if you're not careful, even on normal (there are many difficulties you can choose from). But if it is too much, you can make it easier (or harder) at any time. There's many quality of life things I enjoy about this game that are missing in other farming sims. Not being forced to sleep (see what happens if you stay awake), no stamina for regular tool use, the ability to teleport home without using a ton of resources or waiting a long time in game to unlock. And many more. And don't even get me started on the art and music in this game?? IT'S SO GOOD. I will scream about it forever because that is one of the things that makes this game stand out. Just looking at any in-game screenshots of the characters/creatures of this game will make you stop in your tracks. When streaming this game so many people will come out of lurk just to react to the new art on screen. I might be wrong but when doing a lil deep diving... I think it was all (mostly?) made by one person. I found some work from Chris/Ill-Advised Records from like six years ago... The dev is very talented. But regardless of who, or how many helped create this game. You can really feel the passion put into this project. The music can be such a vibe, but immediately make you feel uneasy when encountering an enemy or a dangerous area. It does a great job keeping you on the edge of your seat like watching a horror movie. AND NO GEN AI. I will say though, pls give us purple hair. That's literally the only thing I disliked lmao But seriously, this game is worth the money. I know I didn't purchase this myself so it is a biased opinion. But I would have bought it after watching a few min of someone's playthrough. If you are still unsure, maybe watch some gameplay. It's okay if it ends up not being for you. Most of the friends who bought this can't stop playing it. One of my friends played for like 12 hours straight haha But man. I am so impressed. This is a full game too, no early access. And there is already talks of new romance options being added in the future. So who knows what else we might see coming to Elderfield one day... Can't recommend this game enough.

This is my new favorite farming sim type game. It has combat that isn't boring, better traveling system then similar games, interesting NPC and atmosphere, and so much more. The music is a big highlight for me as well. I cannot recommend this game enough for people who enjoy farming games.
