In Stardew Valley, players start out with a small plot of land and tools inherited from their late grandfather, and then set about trying to build and maintain a thriving farm and homestead, as well as restoring the town to its former glory.
Here’s a few of Stardew Valley’s key features:
 
  • 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.”
  • Improve your skills over time. “As you make your way from a struggling greenhorn to a master farmer, you’ll level up in 5 different areas: farming, mining, combat, fishing, and foraging. As you progress, you’ll learn new cooking and crafting recipes, unlock new areas to explore, and customize your skills by choosing from a variety of professions.”
  • Become part of the local community. “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 make friends with them, they will open up to you, ask you for help with their personal troubles, or tell you their secrets! Take part in seasonal festivals such as the luau, haunted maze, and feast of the winter star.”
  • Explore a vast, mysterious cave. “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.”
  • Cook delicious meals and craft useful items to help you out. “With over 100 cooking and crafting recipes, you’ll have a wide variety of items to create. Some dishes you cook will even give you temporary boosts to skills, running speed, or combat prowess. Craft useful objects like scarecrows, oil makers, furnaces, or even the rare and expensive crystalarium.”
 
Alongside confirmation of the PlayStation and Xbox release dates was news that a Wii U version will not be making the cut, with developer ConcernedApe and publisher Chucklefish Games instead focussing on Nintendo’s next console, the Switch.
 
“Looking at Wii U and the current gaming landscape, we made the difficult choice to shift our development efforts to creating a version for Nintendo Switch,” read a statement on the game’s official site, “I am really looking forward to the Switch, and I believe that the Switch’s unique capabilities could create some exciting opportunities for Stardew Valley.”
