Farlands is entering Steam’s Early Access very soon, but what is it and when is it available?
Jandusoft has announced that the space farming game Farlands is coming to Steam in Early Access, so if you like games such as Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon, this could be good for you.
Farlands details:
In Farlands, you will acquire an abandoned planet that promises to be the perfect place for a lifestyle change. Armed with little more than your old spaceship you’ll need to cut weeds, clear paths, reclaim fields, and repair what time has destroyed. Your main goal is to turn that abandoned planet into a thriving homestead.
Sound familiar? Of course games take elements from other games, but this isn’t just Stardew in space, it apparently has some unique and innovative qualities to make it stand out.
Farlands offers a unique space exploration experience with collectathon elements. Although your ship has seen better days, it can still transport you between the different planets of the solar system, where you will be able to collect resources to upgrade the farm, the tools and the ship. Resource management will be crucial in order to be able to get enough fuel and not have to sleep in your ship.
Features:
- Farming, fishing, bug catching and resource management.
- Space exploration and resource gathering.
- Tools, ship and farm upgrades.
- Social relationships.
- And much more!.
It’s coming to Early Access on Steam on July 24th!
Price: $14,99 / €14,99 and I’m gonna guess £14.99, even though £12.99 would be an equivalent price.
If you’re interested, go to the Steam page and add it to your Wishlist to be notified on its release.
Besides the ability to travel to other planets, the sci-fi aspect of the game is probably more like One Lonely Outpost which itself is loosely based on Stardew Valley.
Obviously it’s difficult to see what unique qualities Farlands has over other similar games until it’s released, although it is possible to see the devs play when they broadcast on Steam.
