after long day at my job, i just wanna kick back and relax. maybe holding a controller instead of keyboard and mouse would be nice.
i like stardew valley but the experience with controller is just poor. it’s just not designed to work that way (even with the controller mod). thus the question. Any cool ideas?
The game that Stardew Valley blatantly copied - Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.
It was made for the GBA, so has straightforward and precise controls, with none of the irritating camera or targeting complications that come with making the game 3D.
There are other later games in the Harvest Moon franchise with better graphics, but like Stardew Valley with a gamepad, they tend to have irritatingly imprecise controls. Friends of Mineral Town, with its isometric 2D, doesn’t have that problem.
Also, shout out to the female player character version of the game: Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town
Why do female player character have more friends than male player character? I feel discriminated!
The Japanese version is just called: Bokujo Monogatari: For Girl
(Bokujo Monogatari (Farm story) is just the series name in Japanese)
I was just joking, but thanks for the info, didn’t know that.
There’s a modern remake called Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. It’s isometric and cross-platform so I’m hoping the controller support would be decent.
