Stardew with anthropomorphic characters, Including a cat main character named Nyanza....what's not to like, right?
Kitaria Fables Is a game quite similar to Stardew Valley with more emphasis on the Action/RPG elements, or at least that's what It wants to be. You play as Nyanza, a knight from the Empire sent to a small village In the middle of nowhere to help protect it from monsters that have started cropping up as of late. Coincidentally, Nyanza has a relative that used to own a farm In the same town, where he Is able to stay during his mission. Here, he can grow crops which can be used to craft healing items to either use or sell for money and there's also some light crafting elements, like weapon and armor upgrades along with researching new magic spells, all of which require different materials that can be acquired from killings mobs and some you can grow on the farm. There's also the typical fare of RPG features like questing and exploring.
We typically have all the ingredients for a nice and relaxing alternative to Stardew Valley, that Is, we would have, If most of It didn't feel shallow. There's little point to the farming aspect, outside of completing a handful of quests, healing items are nice, but once you acquire an accessory with Lifesteal on It, healing Is rarely an Issue anymore. Unlike Stardew Valley, In Kitaria Fables the social aspects are barely there, questing Is fun, but outside of that, NPCs are just there as decoration, but combat Is probably fun, right? Not quite, It gets the job done, but It's way too simple. You have access to two handed swords, bows and magic spells (fire, water, earth and wind), all of which have 5 skills each (you can only ever have 4 equipped at a time). It would have been nice to get a wider assortment of weapons and more variety of attacks (such as light and heavy attacks maybe?).
Ultimately, It's fun as a time waster, but don't go out of your way to pay full price for it.
