Valley Of The Moon Reviews

If you like walking slowly soul-crushingly long distances, tedious restrictions on how you can farm, and no tutorial. I still dont know where all my coins go, seeing as I've never bought a thing.

Doesn't quite hit the mark. The promise of a Harvest Moon/Stardew experience was dashed fairly quickly. Right off the bat, the map is overcrowded with obstacles to be cleared, which would be fun enough, however your character is not attached to the grid system everything else is on. So after selecting the correct tool, you have to make a guess on if you are the right distance to clear the crop/grass/rock/log in the selected square. You also don't appear to be able clear anything that is on a square above you, only left, right or down. There is only one person you can talk to from the start of the game and he gives you a quest to go into the caves to collect ingredients for a potion, which appears to be necessary to talk to the people in town. As in, you can not go into town until you make the potion. I did not get to that point though as the combat system is clunky and intuitive. Don't worry though, there is no health in the game, so you can't be killed as the monsters move back and forth in front of and through you as you try to figure out how the fire ball spell works. With a little more love, this could have been a nice game, especially for its price point, however the last update appears to have been over 4 years ago. So I encourage you to skip this game unless you want to study where it's gone wrong.

Hey, I downloaded this game because it seemed a little like the harvest moon games and I greatly enjoy those as well as fantasy games. However, there are a few bugs when you use your tools and when you enter the cave if it's raining. If you go near the far wall sometimes it looks like it's raining inside the cave. Also, it is not clear how you are supposed to kill the enemies in the cave to finish the beginning quest to get to the town as there is no weapon in your inventory or your tool belt. Could you please help me with this? I would really like to continue enjoying the gameplay and see where the story is supposed to lead. Thank you.

Okay this, is how not to make a farming game. From the get go you hear familiar sounds. Where are these sounds from? Stardew Valley. Now putting potentially stolen assets aside, the speed of the character is absolutely horrible: snails pace! You can't even turn when you're next to something so you have to keep going back and forth to get in the right position. Right position for what, you might ask? To do any simple action, i.e. facing a tree spot on in order to cut wood! There is also no sense of progression of any kind, and you never know if you actually do manage to pick an item up asides from the left side of the screen, where any item you do get is ambiguous to say the least. You get stuck on practically everything you touch, the controls are absolutely terrible with no means to actually edit them... And there is NO settings or menu! The only menu you get is the welcome screen where you press Enter to start the game, and the "tutorial" that pops up at the start, or whenever you press O. How on earth this made it onto Steam I do not know, but this is a huge NOT recommended from me!

I don't know what I just played but this is the worst attempt at a knockoff Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley game I could have tried. Movement is clunky and stilted, items swing the way you're facing, not where you're aiming. And you can't turn to face an object if you're touching it. The $3 I spent on this was too much, this seems like somebody's high school Game Maker project more so than a serious attempt at a commercial game.

Right now this game is utter trash. I can't believe it's available in this state. Movement speed is too slow. Somehow you can't hit targets right above you?? You have to walk like a snail back home once your energy is depleted and it happens so fast. ESC closes the game without warning. What attracts me to the game was the abandoned farm you have to repair but right now it's painful and zero fun.
