The Best Stardew ValleyLike Is Finally Hitting With A Big Update
Since Stardew Valley came along to reinvigorate the cozy farm sim, many games have tried to emulate the formula and add their own twists with varying degrees of success. In all that time none have come as close to matching or exceeding Stardew as Fields of Mistria, and it's coming out of early access with a big update on August 5.
The announcement details all the changes coming in the Mistria 1.0 update. Most notably it closes the loop on some quests and stories that have been dangling for early access players. You will be able to complete the Town Repair storyline that marks the major progression quest in the game.
Less mission critical, but still pretty important for a Stardew-like, it will allow you to complete romances by reaching 10 Hearts with romanceable NPCs. At that level you'll be able to propose, get married, and have kids. The 1.0 update will also add more dungeon quests and rewards, furniture, cosmetics, mount skins, and other miscellany.
Fields of Mistria is similar in many ways to Stardew Valley, including its pixel art and tile-based farming structures. But it also mixes in elements of magical upgrades to streamline some of the busywork, and its dungeon-crawling elements implement the magic into combat. It currently sits at an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam with more than 20,000 reviews.
