GAME PROFILE
Stardew Valley
Build a farm, explore caves and get to know a rural community at your own pace.
THE OVERVIEW
About Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley combines farm management with a country-life role-playing game. Players grow crops, raise animals, fish and craft equipment while developing relationships with the residents of Pelican Town. Mining and cave combat offer a different progression path from the daily farm routine. The PC version supports cooperative farming as well as solo play. Platform editions and multiplayer options differ, so the requirements here describe the desktop versions rather than console or mobile releases.
