Stardew Valley fans are waiting with bated breath for an official release date announcement from developer ConcernedApe for update 1.7. While there’s no confirmed release window as of this writing, the update will introduce brand-new marriage candidates, a new farm type, and more interesting features/functionality for children.
The new update is sure to be a massive hit among players, but seeing as ConcernedApe is tackling the venture all on his own alongside the highly anticipated new project Haunted Chocolatier, we’re just going to have to be patient. However, if you’re champing at the bit for something to scratch your Stardew itch, there’s a brand-new Steam game with serious Stardew Valley vibes that’s got 9/10 user ratings and is completely free to check out right now (via Steam).
Steam users and Stardew fans alike will want to give the newly released game titled Farm RPG a try, especially considering it’s available as part of Steam’s extensive free-to-play library and has 91% Very Positive reviews so far. The “menu-based farming RPG/MMO” is a top-tier idler game that lets players “build your farm, grow crops, fish, craft, and explore.”
The game functions on a progression system where players “unlock a variety of exciting daily activities [and] engage with helpful townsfolk and collaborate with fellow players in a vibrant community for trading and teamwork.” Farm RPG also features zero in-game adverts and has an incredibly simple registration process that doesn’t collect or sell your personal data. The game is also cross-platform and available on mobile, allowing you to sync progress between devices as well.
Come join us and enjoy a chill, relaxed farming game with a simple UI and tons of RPG elements. The game is non-competitive and includes one of the friendliest communities you’ll ever see. The game is played online with other players and requires a network connection.
Players have nothing but good things to say about this extremely simple and addictive game, with gamers like Mastier hailing it as a “very nice Idle/Clicker game with an incredibly friendly community,” and JayArrrgh describing it as a “SLOW BURN text-based Stardew Valley feeling/inspired farm game with zero ads and zero nonsense.”
Farm RPG’s biggest draw is its extremely friendly and welcoming community, as kzwen points out: “The best element is the community. The giveaway channel is where the community helps each other out and you can get nearly everything that is mailable there from the people there. There is also a trading channel with a mature system.”
Overall, Farm RPG‘s addition to the free-to-play Steam library is one that Stardew Valley fans will not want to overlook. Not every f2p game is a banger on the platform, but Farm RPG absolutely will not disappoint.
